Good video. Very Helpful! I needed to know how to remove the panels and needed some tips on switching out the cables. Got everything I needed from your post.
Thanks!!
Awesome! Glad dit helped. Gotta keep these old vans going.
Very helpful! My interest was the cable connectors. I saved many screen shots. Thanks for posting this.
Glad it helped!
by the way, the Lock Solenoid will pop in & out of the bracket it swivels, don't go to the trouble of drilling the Rivet, I fixed my handle this weekend, opens nice inside/out, peace3ed
Thanks for doing this!
I'll probably go to hell for all the cussing I did during this repair
The door latch failures are too common on the Ford E-series vans. When the outside and inside passenger compartment handle fail the passengers cannot exit the vehicle. This is a dangerous safety hazard that NHTSA should be made aware of. In the case of an accident emergency responders cannot simply open the doors to save the injured passengers. Of course, emergency responders have all kinds of equipment to rip open the doors like the "Jaws of Life". But the point is that people are trapped inside when the passenger door handles fail. You all should report this dangerous problem to NHTSA to have them issue a recall to have Ford fix this endemic safety problem.
How do you open the door from the inside when the outside won't activate the latch and the cables are broken
I’m sure you figure this out by now, but for anyone else finding this video (best one IMO), if the door will not open from inside or outside, there is a cable that runs from the inside handle. This cable is probably broken as well, see if you can trace your hand to the latch side and pull to manually activate that latch to open and push the door open when you do. The crux of it is the bottom panel cover will not fully come off until the side door opens so it’s a bollux.
Well, I'm confused???😮
