Let me tell you I'd kiss you on the mouth for this video! I had over a 100 bucks worth of stuff in my Amazon cart until I came across this video. Thank you!
Best how to repair Ranger door handle/ cable on you tube. Ranger in video was a 99 mine is a 2007 and it was exactly like the 99 so I guess not many changes in the door over the years. I ordered my aluminum ends from George Klammer and I will not give info because I do not recommend him. I should have received 3 with round ends and one with a modified end. He sent me 4 with the round ends. I took a chance and filed the one to modify it to fit. I happened to see a picture on you tube so I knew what it was supposed to look like. The plastic pieces that hold the door panel on you can figure that some will break so be prepared.
Thank you SO much for taking the time to film this specific video with good videography! Seeing the little stuff you did was super helpful in understanding what to do with the clip ins. Much good energy and karma being sent through the internet to you sir!
Your video was just what I needed to get the job done. I found the cable sheath end set of 4 on Amazon for $10. I got lucky and only had to repair the handle cables. Thank you!
I'm a locksmith and have to fix these type of problems all the time. Most of those pieces that break are plastic and generally cheap, if you know what to buy.
@@andrescarrizales6310 been waiting to hear locksmiths reply ,,,,,,,, i have an 07 and both doors crapped out in one week what are the odds . have you found any easy or cheap solutions ?
Thanks so much for this video! At first I thought oh man, so long and verbose but I am glad I stuck it through 'cause you were thorough and showed me the exact "thing" I needed to know regarding that one differently shaped "head" on one of those aluminum clips and what I was supposed to do with it. I was about to throw in the towel or start prying and bending things out of the way to make it work. You saved my butt man, thank you! I actually didn't even have to remove the top latching mechanism off the door to be able to fit in the aluminum cable end and saved myself some work there. Do not make the mistake I made and try to "make it work with a T25 Torx bit"...that backfired and I stripped the head of those aluminum screws used to attach the latch to the door frame.
Lots of good info here. I got the aluminum inserts and got it all together, but now the cable's don't function; like, they're super tight. I've had the entire locking system apart several times and can't figure out why, and the doors don't latch closed. Any suggestions?
Try hooking the end at the locking mechanism first. Leave the door half disconnected. Pull on the door handle end and see if it unlocks. Don’t close the door. If I’m not mistaken, the is a slight variation in how to of the inserts appear as compared to the other two.
I figured it out. The new Al inserts I have have a slot that was cut too small; so, the cable gets bound up and restricts movement. I have brought this to the attention of the ebay seller and already got a refund. What I can do to fix the inserts is to drill or grind them out on the latch mount end. I'll make a video.
Good information! Well done video. I had the same problem with my 2000 XLT Ranger. I didn’t know about the things on line but I made my own and they were identical to what you bought on line. Purely coincidence. But they solved my issue.
I use bell wire and attach it to mechanism. I get it at Lowe’s in the electrical section. Use two strands together. I use it to follow electrical wires when I wire things in my house. If I ever have to pull another wire later I have my pull through already there.
@@TOM2RN how can I attach the wire???...remember that the door is closed and what I see is a hole on top of the hinge...this latch is not the same as the other side...or something went loose...
Luis Cornieles Best bet is to start loosening the panel at the bottom and work up. The plastic bolts are long as compared to most. Take a mirror and stick it inside to see where the cable would normally fit.

I need to modify one for my top latch, too. Do you have a link to a video on how to do that by chance?

Thank you for the kind remark.
Thanks so much for showing me how to fix my 1998 Ford Ranger back door and save lots of cash!

Your welcome
Off Amazon. I think they were around 12 to 16 bucks. Mine continue to work well.
good job. will you do mine? lol

locksmith db how much does a job like that cost? I have the same problem.

Of course he don’t answer. He is a greedy locksmith.

Informative but frustrating to watch as its all over the place.
Point taken. Taken as constructive criticism. Suggestions?
Ford door cable repair kit. Search for this on Amazon.
thanks
Way too much talking. I moved on.

Did the cable sheath get bent? Are the inserts pressed on all the way? They are a bear to get on.
@@TOM2RN They were a bear, and are pushed all the way in. I'm wondering if the need to be trimmed a bit, or the sheath needs to be trimmed.

That's a pain in the ass - time and patience involved
Thieves just popped my lock out. They stabbed the sheet metal below the lock. Thanks for the video, it's helpful to see how it goes.
Informative video, but you really should learn the difference between a nut and a bolt.
Did you use short 3/16 th rivets or long ones on the handle ?
Long
Thanks
@@TOM2RN wish you could be more specific on the length ?
@@donaldjones7058
I’m not sure of the exact length. Lowe’s had two sizes.
@@TOM2RN OKay thanks
Thank you. Definitely the issue that happened to me.
Hi - Good video overall. I think I can do mine now Ha.
You mentioned the 3/16th pop rivet for the latch handle, were they long or short ones?
Thx
Long
@@TOM2RN When you say long 1/2" ????
@@L.A.O Check Lowes or Home Depot. There were only a couple of sizes. Can’t remember the exact length.
@@TOM2RN Will do thanks
Did you use aluminum or steel rivets?
Aluminum rivets with steel pins.
what I need to know is how in heaven can I pull the door open without the wires connected at the bottom latch

@@TOM2RN Thank you very much....I'll make it happen!!!!!!...one question....do you happen to know if doors of a 1997 will fit my 1999???...
Luis Cornieles
I’m not sure, but what I do is look up the part number for each and compare. Not matching? No go I’ve learned.
This man talks too much without any substance.
Talk too much, perhaps...but no substance? In that rambling he did let out some key details that helped me get the job done.
Yeah skip to 4:25 mark
Blah blah blah dude............
