- How to fix a broken door handle. This DIY shows how to replace a broken door handle or fix a door that wont open. This is the same for ford fusions years 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012.
The first 30 seconds was enough for me. I have been rolling my window down for over a year! Thank you!
Haha that sound rough! Glad this was helpful
I had been doing that for over a year. But now the lock finally broke
I'm about to Replace my driver handle by myself because of this video ...thanks my dude
@@bobbieangelmendoza9755 you’re welcome!
Same
I was using that lock trick for a while until it broke too. Nice easy to follow video, got it done in about 10 minutes. Got the part off Amazon $11 new
Haha yeah I can’t imagine that lock lasting too long either. Glad you got it fixed!
@@jadehorizon1881
I really appreciated your video, thanks again.
@@apg897 no problem :)
@@jadehorizon1881 been using the lock to open the door for about 8 months since the handle broke and just tonight it broke too. Got a part ordered and will be replacing it on Saturday lol.
@@thealmightyjack haha it sounds like you got as much use out of it as you could!
Thanks for creating and sharing this video! The details on the number of screws and size of sockets etc was great. Ordered a new part for $12 on Amazon, took about 15 minutes, all in, to grab the exact tools I needed and knocked this out! Probably saved me $150-200 from not taking it to a shop too!
I’m glad it was helpful! It really is such an easy DIY.
This was the best video on the Ford Fusion door handle replacement. Our's has been a very reliable and fun-to-drive car, and you made this repair simple. One suggestion: after removing the door panel, take a Sharpie thin marker and outline the position of the old door handle assembly; then, when you install the replacement, it will line up perfectly with the plastic door panel and finish piece.
I’m glad it was able to help you! Yeah these cars are very mechanically reliable. That’s a good tip! Hopefully others see the comment.
🏆🛠 This is how to make an exceptional DIY repair video. You have a steady camera, clear and simple step-by-step narration, and there is no annoying and distracting metal/rap/hip hop "music" blasting in the background-- a hallmark of the true amateur TH-camrs. Well done and I can now fix my broken Fusion's door handle.
Thank you Sir! I’m glad you found this informational.
Very well made video. Thank you for not resorting to a lot of useless commentary during the fix. Straight to the point, excellent lighting and camera angles! THIS is how TH-cam videos should be made
Thank you!
Thank you so much for your video. Your detailed explanation and clear video made this easy to repair. In fact, my 12-year-old son did it all with a little help removing the door from the clips. One of the larger clips was difficult to pry off. I actually used two wooden spoons to wedge it off. In another video, we watched it mentioned the part 81702 DORMAN. I’m glad you found yours for a few dollars. We bought ours on Amazon. We saved a lot of money having it done at the dealership, but not only that it was fun to do and your video was great.
You’re welcome. I love the to see the younger generations fixing stuff! Hope you and your son keep doing projects together.
Two years ago I replaced the driver hadle of my Fusion...Today I am working on the passenger handle. Very valuable video.
Haha yeah they’re made pretty cheap
You’re a fricken ROCKSTAR! Love this video. Went for 4 months opening my window to open the door from the outside. 🙏 thank you for an easy fix!
Haha you’re welcome!
Dude, thank you for showing the trick with the lock lever. No more rolling down the window!!
Haha you’re welcome. It’s definitely better than rolling the window down until you have a chance to fix it
This video was awesome. I especially like the fact that he showed a work around in addition to showing how to fix the problem. Thanks!!!
Thank you! I’m glad this was able to help you out
Thank you so much for taking the time to video these steps in such a clear manner! Even I was able to do it 😄 Popping the door panel off was not the easiest thing in the world, but I eventually got one clip off and then the rest were easy.
Haha yes popping a door panel off always makes me nervous, it feels like they’re all going to break! I’m glad you were able to follow this and fix your handle! :)
Very helpful and easy to follow for dummies like myself. Thank you sir. You saved me a few hundred dollars by not having to go to the dealership.
Glad I was able to help you out!
I just did this for free to my neighbors car. Took me about 10 mins thanks
Yes super easy to fix!
Tremendous help!! I didn't realize that I could open the door by pulling the unlock and open handles at the same time...that prevents me from having to roll down the window to "escape" the car.
Thank you for the help!!
Haha yes that little trick comes in handy. Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the Video, Especially the trick on opening the door. My wife was tired of acting like the Duke's of Hazard. Seriously this was a great informational video.
My new handle arrived today, and now to the garage to replace the old one Thanks again !
You’re welcome! Haha hey dukes of hazard style sounds fun. I’m glad this was able to help you out!
Thank you for showing everyone how to open the door using the lock button and the door handle. I have ordered the replacement handle. I can now get out of my car without rolling the window down. Removing the door panel is a breeze, just did it last year to replace the door speaker.
You’re welcome! Yeah that lock trick makes it so much easier than having to roll the window down. Glad I was able to help you out! :)
Thanks for the video. I fixed my father-in-law's 2012 Ford Fusion, in 10 to 15 minutes. The door was a little stubborn, but other than that, it's a very simple job. Thanks again.
Not a problem! Yeah the doors are usually pretty stubborn to get off. I’m glad you were able to fix it for him!
Why Ford won’t recall this is unconscionable! 🤦♂️😡
Imagine getting stuck in an accident (especially a fire or water submersion) if you didn’t know the two-finger trick, or if you’re window won’t roll down.
I just ordered my replacement part on eBay for around $12.
Ford Exchange P/N BE5Z-5422601-B
Excellent video!!!
Yeah I agree, it should be recalled! That could definitely affect a life or death situation in an accident.
Thank you very much because of your video I was able to change my self without having to pay someone to do it thank you
That’s awesome, I’m glad I could help! :)
Thanks so very much you guys have saved me a lot of money and I’m glad 😮
You’re welcome! It is a very easy job especially considering how much it saves!
I am so happy I found your video. This just happened with my 2012 Fusion today. I figured the dealership or a mechanic would charge a lot for something I could probably do myself. After watching your video, I'm very confident I can repair this myself. I will just watch your video as I make the repair.
Glad I was able to help you out! It’s always a good idea to see if something can be fixed at home before taking it to a shop, it definitely saves $$$
A simple, thorough, to the point video. We don't deserve you. Thank you!
No problem, I hope it helped you out!
Thanks for this. Very helpful. Took me 10 minutes.
You’re welcome, I’m glad it was helpful!
Sp far the best video on this. You actually tell us what size tools
Thanks, I tried to be thorough.
As a retiree, with no mechanical background, I found these directions easy to follow. Thanks, this really helped my budget!
Kellie Lammers I’m glad this was able to help you!
Thanks for the video! I ran to see if it worked! It did! At least I can get out of my car now like a normal person. It's the second time it breaks on me!
Yeah these break very easily. Glad your able to get out of your car like a normal person now lol
I ordered the front left front door handle Amazon prime today, delivered total cost $19.97 tks for the info !
No problem, glad I could help!
Thank you for the video! It helped me fix my Ford fusion. My passenger door would no longer lock and it was because the handle was broken.
You’re welcome, I’m glad I could help :)
Great tip on opening the door by pulling both the door handle and the lock at the same time. Thanks!
I have been rolling my window down for three years!
Thanks for the thorough instructions, saved me time, money and hassle
You're welcome!
Thank you so much, your video made the task very easy and it was exactly as you described! My latch was broken in the exact same place and it is obviously a design flaw that occurs when you pull too hard on the door latch!
Not a problem. I’m glad the video helped you. I’ve been finding a lot of interesting design choices by ford haha
Thanks bro! I couldn't open my door for so long without rolling down the window!
You’re welcome! That little trick comes in handy haha
I see this problem is actually very common amongst ford fusion owners. Both of my front ones have been jacked up and its time now
Yes it’s a very common problem because of how cheap the handle materials are. Luckily it’s a cheap fix too!
You Are A Freaking Genius. You just saved me so much stress. God Bless you in all yr endeavors
Haha thank you! God bless you as well
Thank you Jade for this video it helps me a lot and in less than 7 minutes you explain everything.
Keep up the good work 👍
You’re welcome, I’m glad I was able to help you out!
Thank you!! This worked!! And the workaround until my part arrived came in handy; only took me maybe 15 min or so to get it done
Yeah it’s a very quick and easy fix. And much cheaper than taking it to a shop. Glad it worked for you!
Great video. Our handle broke last night.
Thank you! I hope this helps to walk you through the replacement.
Thanks for the helpful video! Lol, I wasn’t aware of the lock trick. I’ve got the part, now I gotta get my screwdriver set from work so I can fix it tomorrow
You’re welcome! Yes that lock trick comes in handy while you wait for the part. Good luck with the install! :)
This looks quite easy to do...I just need a warm/dry place to do it (im in Canada in Winter and cold w/out garage)
Yeah it is a really easy job. I hear you, I hate working on cars in the cold!
Good video. Going to replace transmission cooler lines on my son's 2012 fusion and then attack the broken driver's side door handle.
Thank you. Replacing the trans lines sounds like a bit of a job
I just replaced my driver said door handle I thank you so much for showing me your video is really helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks. I always go to tube to get the sizes of nuts/bolts before working on anything just so I don't waste time guessing and checking.
No problem! I try to make sure I give all the necessary information, I’m glad I was able to help you out
Great video!! Thanks for you time and sharing the procedure!!
You’re welcome, I’m glad it was helpful!
This is the second time I’ve had to do this replacement on all four. I love this little grocery getter but my god did ford manufacture some shitty doors. Thanks for the video, it’s very helpful!
Wow that’s pretty bad. Haha I know, I mean would it have taken that much more effort to make a slightly better handle 🤷♂️
The doors are ok, the handle plastic is absolute crap trough.
@@dragonclaw242 agreed
Doing it this weekend on my son's car. Thanks for the video.
You’re welcome!
Success, done in under 30 minutes; and save $140 in Ford labor cost. Thank you, Cheers!
Good job! So much better than that dealer cost haha you’re welcome!
SOOO much easier than a GM! My clips didn’t break either- THANK YOU LOADS!
Haha yes, very straight forward! You’re welcome :)
I have been currently rolling my window down to get out lmao thanks for the tip to pull both the handle and lock that works to open the door
Haha yeah I did at first too, it was a pain in the ass! Glad I could help
Good Looks on using UNLock to pop door & on the screw placements + sizes 👍😎
Thank you! I tried to make it as helpful as possible :)
Thanks bud. Think i ll give it a try this weekend. Looks easy enough. Appreciate the help
No problem. It is a pretty easy fix, hope it works well for ya!
@@jadehorizon1881 just finished and ur right man it was easy. Only part that worried me is pulling the panel off. I had to pull hard. Don t think i broke any of the clips. Working like a charm now. Next , replace the throttle body. My ac was down and it was so weird. Hottest part of the day it would blow cold for couple secs then blow hot. Found a hack, you turn you lights on ( not to auto but manual on ) and flood lights if u have them. Do that and the ac works. So crazy but it working so i m good lol
Thank you, saved me a lot of money. God bless you
You’re welcome. Glad I could help!
Thank you so much. A shop qouted me $246 for this. Screw em
Thanks again
Wow that’s a crazy price. Idk what kind of labor they’re charging lol
Now, after watching this video, I don’t have to pay that “professional” guy who estimated 75 to 100 bucks just to have him to fix it. Thank you for the video!!!
kikosol24 that’s expensive for a 5 minute job! Glad this was able to help you
Dealership wanted to charge me $200. Part is $12 at Walmart.
I was opening with the lock until that piece broke about 2 weeks ago. Now I'm putting my window down but definitely going to purchase these parts to do it myself and not over-pay at a dealership.
Haha yeah that sounds like a pain. Definitely too easy of a fix to shell out that dealer replacement money!
Appreciate Boss. You really were very informative.
No problem!
Very nice tutorial my friend 👍🏻
Thank you, I hope it was able to help you :)
Thanks a lot, mission accomplished 💯
You’re welcome, glad I could help :)
great job..it would help if the tools required were listed..thanks so much
very useful tnx for your time in this video. It really worked for me.
I’m glad it worked! :)
Thank You SO much for this! Well done & so helpful!
You’re welcome! I’m glad I was able to help :)
Same issue, thanks for the video !
You’re welcome!
Thanks for the video. Very helpful 👌
You’re welcome!
Thanks for the guide Jade. Super easy repair.
No problem. Glad I was able to help!
Thank you for thid video. I will attempt this week on my parents 2012. I was going to have my bf do it, but I want to 😀
Not a problem. It’s pretty straight forward, you got this!
Thank you very helpful
You’re welcome, I’m glad it was helpful!
I freaking LOVE you for this sir! Thanks so much!!
Haha thanks, glad I could help!
Thank you homie :) imma be replacing my sisters tomorrow and this was the perfect step by step. Thank you 🙏🏼
You’re welcome! I’m glad I was able to help :)
Thanks for the info. Went just like you said. Saved me a bundle.
Not a problem, it’s a very easy DIY job!
super helpful thanks.
I’m glad I could help you out! :)
Just did this today. Only could not find a handle in time. So bad to pay a bit more that you 😂
Ah that’s too bad. Still cheaper than a shop though!
You seems like calm guy :)
I like to think so haha thanks!
Great Video, it really is that easy.
Thank you! Yeah it is a pretty easy fix, even if you have never attempted to fix anything.
Thanks for the vid 🤙🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽
Thanks for the video
Not a problem, I hope it helped you out!
Is it the same process for every door? Like the rear and passenger doors.
Yes it should be pretty much the same for all of them.
Great video. Thanks
You’re welcome, hope it was helpful!
Thanks for that info!👍
jahyindachi no problem, glad it was helpful
I’m having a real hard time getting the white part back in. You do it with ease between 4:00 and 4:12. Any tips? It’s like the cable isn’t long enough.
Just make sure you hook the metal end in first, and then that white plastic piece should line right up to be snapped in. If not, you should be able to pull it back a little, although that will take a bit of force the cable is meant to extend out further. Let me know how that goes.
I appreciate the quick response but it’s not working for me. Only one finger width of cable is exposed and I can’t get it to stretch any further. Tried hitting the unlock button and that doesn’t help. It looks like you have two fingers width of cable exposed. I even tried putting on the old handle and there is t enough cable for me to to do that either :(

Common. Happened on my previous Fusion and it happened again to my Fusion I have currently. One more project to do on a weekend
Yeah very poor quality parts. Luckily it’s a very cheap and quick fix
@@jadehorizon1881 it annoys me because I’m a Michigan man and been a Ford guy my whole life and it’s a Michigan based company
Great video 📷
Thanks! Hope it helped
Top notch info sharing. Thanks.
Thank you, I hope I was able to help!
Thank you!!! 🎉
You’re welcome, hope it helped!
When I’m at the part where the door panel is off and I’m working on the handle you say it’s 8mm but my 8mm bit don’t fit it’s says 8.8
Hm that’s interesting. The socket you have is 8.8 or the size of the nut is 8.8?
@@jadehorizon1881 the size of the nut says 8.8 but it looks like it’s the same one in The video yours says that too so I’m confused and I been stumped on this for like a while now
@@a-wall4gaming347 so the 8 is trying to strip it? If you’re using a 6point socket maybe try a 12 point
Thanks!
Just happened on my moms 2008. Wish me luck😊 gonna try and save her some money
Good Luck! Will attempt on mine today.
@@dougd2723 it was easy, got part on Amazon for like 12. I did break a piece of one of the plastic pins but it's fine. Only thing that worried me was getting the panel back on but I got it
Good luck to both of you! I’m sure it will go well :)
fuck man, i’ve been rolling my window down for soo long, thanks for the cheat code at the beginning! it’ll work like a charm until i get money for the handle
Haha no problem!
I ordered it of amazon for $7
@@KarenHernandez-us5mt that’s a really good price!
Thxs
No problem. Hope this helped!
Does it make it easier if the window is down, Or it doesn’t matter
No, it doesn’t make a difference if the window is up or down
@@jadehorizon1881 thank you
@@HighSeasFriendsTravel you’re welcome!
I was doing that whst u did at first and the actual door handle broke
Hm, I’m not too sure what you’re referring to. This video is for replacing a door handle that would s already broken.
Just happened to me too!
@@Nfrealmusicfans buy it from Amazon bro it’s only 10 dollar and I got it installed for free from my college automotive center
anyone know the part number for this?
Might be a little late but here is one brand “FO1352143”
Thank you
You’re welcome, I hope it helped!
❤❤❤❤❤
Glad you liked it lol
Are the fragile ?
They seem to be made of a pretty cheap plastic and they very commonly break, so yeah they’re pretty fragile
@@jadehorizon1881 my dad's is broken an needs to get the driver side fixed so he can get an inspection done Im gonna fix for him im gonna go to a local scrap yard tho but im going to make sure i get one that is functioning.
@@randomwrestlingthemes524 yes definitely check to make sure it’s functioning first! Good luck 👍
@@jadehorizon1881 just fixed it today working flawlessly took me only 10 minutes also had to replace the head light switch assembly the upper clips were snapped off. Only paid $5 for one handle i bought 2 sets.
@@randomwrestlingthemes524 awesome! Hopefully this one lasts you a while, but it was a good idea to get an extra as a back up.
Maybe I watched this video too fast but weren’t there electronic related clips that needed to be disconnected at some point?
No. They just hang on. I just finished this and didn’t have to mess with wires
That’s correct
I should have watched this video 3 months ago haha wth
The little lock opening trick?
He never showed how to unclip the electronics
I didn’t disconnect any electronics, I just let the door panel sit there.
But if you do want to disconnect it to completely remove the door panel, there should just be a couple clips.
That is not the door handle
Ok. So what is it.... the air filter?
…
@@zarlok5294 no man, that’s the transmission…..geez
@@STEEL4122 Oh yeah. Duh! The thingy that transmits levered energy to me door latch thingy and moves it so ya can git out the f’n car. Got it. Thanks.
Schizophrenic musician moment
It sucks that we have to get a new door handle just for a common problem
Yeah it does. Thankfully it’s a cheap and easy fix!
Especially since Ford is aware of it. I've had to replace mine twice already. This time makes the 3rd. The first time I took it to Ford the service manager said Ford is aware of it but decided a recall wasn't cost effective.
