- Ford Ranger, Mazda pick up truck rear door repair WITHOUT removing door panels. The door failed to open due to a common door handle latch cable end failure. The original cable end was made out of plastic which becomes brittle with time/temperature and breaks. The available aftermarket repair parts are made from machined aluminum, available via the internet. I purchased the one used in this video from Ebay under the search: Ford Back door handle latch cable repair kit or use this link: ebay.us/mTMy1E

I just performed this procedure on my 2006 Ranger, LH back door. My local Advance Auto Parts had the part kits (Dorman #926-111) in stock! I used a 5/32" pin punch to punch out the rivet bodies, then tried to drill them out. That only spun the the rivet heads, so I simply knocked the 9/16" dia. rivet heads off with a hammer and chisel. One word of advice - clean and lubricate the sliding lock forks that hold the cable end ferrule in place. Also, make sure the slit on the replacement cable end is turned properly when reinserting the ferrule into the door handle mechanism so that the cable doesn't keep trying to get out of the ferrule. Overall time to fix one door handle was less than 1/2 hour. Emilio, thanks for the confidence that your video gave me.
This makes soooo much more sense than removing the seat belt and door panel. Thank you Emilio!
Sometimes you got no choice but removing the seat belt and the panel if the problem is at the other end of the cable! But I'm glad that the video helped you.
I can see the plastic part is broken behind the handle, so Im hoping that your quick fix will do the job. I will know more once I get into it.
Drilling out the rivets would have been my first choice over the grinder.
thanks. i'll skip the grinder and go straight to the drill. Much appreciated.
Check inside the sleeve to make sure the flashing is removed just under the lip. All the ones i ordered hadn't been completely finished. Thanks for the video. Sure Did Help!
. Others are suggesting you have to take inside trim off and open the door which is way more work. Drill and chisel removed the rivets. To test my door after cables were hooked up I had to place handle back in door for it to work properly. Rivets installed works perfect.Thanks for the great video.
👍
I was worried that I would have to pay someone but after watching the video I was confident that I could do. I just needed to get the rivet gun n rivets cause I had never worked with that but it thanks to your video the job went smooth. Plus you didn’t make it complicated like other videos I watched. Thanks again
You are very welcome! I'm glad it was helpful for you.
The center pin on the rivets are easy to punch back. Then the aluminum rivets are also easy to drill out. If the plastic sleeves on the cable ends of the handles are deteriorated then the cable ends on the latches are bad also. However, the cable ends on the latches are not removable as they have a small ball on the end that cannot be taken out of the latches. You must first remove the cables from the handles then slide new metal sleeves on the cable ends at the latches. Then reinstall the latches.This is so you will have enough slack to install the new sleeves. Then you can install the handles and sleeves.
Nicely done! I appreciate the text , makes it easier to review the information!
Thank you for the great video . I bought a decent 2001 Ranger XLT 4X4 for $760 . The truck has some issues but well worth what I paid for it . Both of the extended doors latches are broken and can't open the passenger side at all . I thought I may have to remove the latch but wasn't sure . Your video helped extremely well. Thank you again for posting this video.
The music at 5:49 literally made me jump. Thanks for the video!
Thank you for the video. Both my Ranger handles broke at about the same time and I had no experience with rivets. Using a drill, removing the first 2 rivets on the passenger handle took forever due to the way the rivet was done. The original mandrel wasn't broken off well and was sticking out of the rivet head. This made it very difficult to drill as the bit was constantly slipping off (and I did use a center punch). When I fixed the second handle I started with the smallest drill bit I had to get into the narrow mandrel in the rivet. I then stepped the bits up and finished with the 3/16 bit. It literally went 10x faster doing this and the bit didn't slip at all like it did on the other handle.
Thanks for this video!! It was a big help. I got my replacement sleeves at Autozone and the employee knew exactly what I needed after I said "I have an old '02 Ford truck with busted back door handles..." 😄
I used a hammer and punch to get the centers out of the rivets, and then just a little drilling to remove the remainder. Everything else was just like your video, except I didn't know at first how far back the new parts needed to go over the black cable sleeve. Answer: as far back as possible.
I'm glad that the video was useful. Thanks for the comments.
Very good advice on the repair!
Excellent overview. Very helpful. Thx
Good info ! , I was able to use a punch to drive out the center ( only ) of the rivet & then lift the remaining rivet head by hammering a painter's tool blade underneath the head . Amazon had the parts / sleeves , hopefully here in 3 days ( $7 ) . I ( 70 yo & not as skillful as years ago )will be a very happy camper if all goes well .
Toughest part was putting the cable back into the handle. But managed to get it back in after sliding the aluminum piece as far down the cable it could go.
I'm glad you got it 👍
Thanks. If I had the tools I could do this myself. But I have to wait for someone more qualified to fix mine. Thanks for making it clear though
Yes... As you noticed the grinder was an overkill. I should have just used the drill.
HELP! I CANNOT FIND THOSE SLEEVES ANYWHERE!! Both my back doors won't open! maryronthomas@yahoo.com
@@marythomas1930 We found ours at Auto Zone, part #926-111CD.
@@danamoye5058 how much did they cost
@@sonsonny1000 Less than $15.00, with tax, for the four pack.
Thanks for the tips. And the parts link.
I’ve been putting it off should get to it soon
Nice,tks
Thanks. Ford and independent shops want $1,000 here in the Atlanta area. They aren’t willing to repair. They just want to replace the entire mechanism.
Are you serious?
Right, yes. The last independent shop said they had to buy the entire assembly. Cables, latches etc. And only Ford had them for like $350.00 a side plus installation. No way. I’m going to buy the ends and install them per your video. Everything else works. The door can be opened by pulling on the cables. They just need to be reattached to the handles. Thanks.
@@donr8773 so far I haven't seen a case where the actual cables are bad. It's just the ends.
Good to know. ,thanks.
Will this work for my older Mazda?its 20 yrs old and still runs great!
Yes same model different company logo
You
Mentioned a clip …? E clip or what kits i see do t show clip
Hmn, okay..thank you very much. Your video is much much clearer than the one from Klamm Auto. However, also incomplete. I guess you did not have to replace the aluminum collars/clips that attach to the latches on the door itself? The kit you show has 4 clips....yet you only show replacing one and say "same for the other one". Thanks.
I did replace both ends at the door handle. Maybe I should "expand" a little more in the video. The other two ends go at the latch itself, it didn't need replacement at the time. So I didn't touch the latches. Thanks for your observations.
@@emiliotamayo3256 Really!? Wow, for me, all 4, well really all 8 need to be replaced. Both suicide doors on my '04 went to crap. I wonder why the call them "suicide' doors...
@@humrod1852 Suicide doors have the hinges on the rear of the doorway. If you were able to open a suicide door at 65 miles an hour it would catch a lot of wind.
@@kkbigun Thank you for the added clarity. However, I still don't understand why they are called suicide doors. I know what they are just don't understand the why of it.
@@humrod1852 Original 'suicide doors' are on full size cars. Should you open that door from the back seat without checking, and get out, a passing car could slam your door into you. Suicide! Unlike this design, original ones had a center post allowing you to open it before the front door was opened. As you can see, the front Has to open first on this design.
Great video. Thanks. Please, where did you get the cable sleeves. I've looked at Auto Zone, Advance, Napa, O'Reilly, ... Ford Service Dept. could only get me the WHOLE kit.
Do you mean the cable sleeves ends? or the actual entire cable length sleeve?
Normally you don't have to replace the whole entire sleeves, the sleeve end is the part that gets replaced because they are plastic and fall apart. But I can tell you that I found the sleeves ends made out of aluminum at ebay, under: "(4 ends) Ford Back/Door Handle Latch Cable Repair Kit Ford F150, F250 & F350" . Just look it up at ebay.
ebay.us/mTMy1E That is the link that takes you to the parts.
@@emiliotamayo3256 Thank you so much. That's what I need. Their server seems to be down right now but I will keep trying. If I can get them anywhere else I wouldn't mind trying that either. Thanks again.
@@randybrasfield4468 You are welcome, glad to help bud!
Do you have any advice for the cable being broken inside the door down by the latch?
When the cable is broken inside the door by the latch you have no choice but removing: the seat belt assembly and the door panel. That one is time consuming. I have to come up with a video for that one.
Do you use steel or aluminum rivets, thanks.
I used aluminum rivets
