Where can i get hex screws and any chance to get the part number? it's great video!
How about if you just fix it for me or refer me to someone that can that's in the Bay Area near the Oakland Airport my name is Marvin by the way that's a little too involved than what I want to be dealing with I rather pay to have someone do it
Dorman 926-111 is the part number.
I WISH I SAW THIS BEFORE I ORDERED 2 NEW SETS 44.00 A PIECE ,GREAT DIY PROJECT YOU DID.
What's so aggravating is that the engineer who designed this latch system most likely suggested metal cable seats, but some MBA dictated the use of plastic.
Yea, some jackass MBA who lives in a condo and doesn't own a drill.
Ford makes more money
Engineered maintenance requirement so the dealership garage gets repair business. Exactly why I prefer Japanese vehicles and every Ford I've ever owned stays broke down.
He also bought the US patent for the replacement clips and made millions on replacement parts.
Omg I actually fixed my dad's door with this video! THANK YOU!!!
Good job, lady mechanic!
Goat noises too? 😆 🤣
Some mistakes that I learned when doing mine but thanks for making a video showing what the problem was. You don't have to pop out the connectors on the end that connect to the release mechanism. There is a little yellow clip that flips open allowing you to pop out the cable and threaded end which is also handy to know when you need to re-adjust them.
You also don't have to remove the inner door handle. However overall the video was very helpful, and I got my doors fixed for about an hour and $16 to do both doors.
You guys are absolute dorks. ❤ Thanks for the video, I am finally going to have a working door again.
I have an 03 Ford F-150 with this exact issue. Took me about 2 hours to do both doors and now they are working perfectly! Thanks for uploading and making this video it helped a lot
The “hex” bolts on the top and bottom latches were hefty T-25 Torx screws on my 2001. And the liner “paper” that I peeled off was a form of vinyl plastic. It was quite tough and didn’t threaten to disintegrate. So, I’m happy to have a special truck that made the work easier for me. (No stripped hex heads).
Thanks for the video, guys. It was a big help.
One thing about the metal replacement parts, I echo an earlier comment about opening up the center of the slot so the cable will have more clearance to move. You can drill it if you’re good with a drill press, or you can use a small round file. I actually drilled, then cleaned up with the file.
Worked like a charm. Thanks for putting the part name and number in the comments.
Thank you for adding the parts list. So much time saved not having to find the parts you used. 🙌🏽
My door works again! Thanks guys
Was super easy after watching you guys and yes, I bought a magnetic tray!
I have been without a 3rd door for 4 years. I came right to this video, Kinda excited now....Thank You !
You did a great job delivering all the information needed. If you're not cursing you're not doing it right. 😂😂🤣 Great job guys..
Great video. I've been doctoring this very problem for two years now. I just placed an order for the repair parts through Amazon Prime and they'll be at my house tomorrow. Thanks for the short, right-to-the-point information about this repair, minus the *fart* in the middle of video of course....
I love your guy's goofy jokes. I also really liked how detailed the descriptions were and that the camera angles and close ups were spot on. Nice video guys!
Thank you. I purchased the ends from Amazon and put them in today. My door now works the way it is supposed to work.
Great video. Just fixed all the cables in both doors on my 2001 F150 in about three hours. Thanks.
Thanks guys. Double success on my F150 today.
Great job 👍, I been looking for a logical intelligent straight to the point video and you nailed it.
Excellent video. I liked that you named all of the tools needed, including the socket sizes. Both of my wife's rear doors broke about the same time. I repaired both using your video. It took me one hour for the first, about 30 min for the second. Well done chaps!
Thank you for your cheesy jokes that I loved. Your humor, product share, tools needed & great detail on this nice video. Will order the parts & replace. Thanks.👍
2019 and you just helped me with this used Ford I just bought
I just got one and the doors wont open
What a bargain. Took me about 3 hours (I am not mechanical). I also had to skin some of the outer coating off the cable. But, it works great! You can spend $169/assembly and they are just as hard to install!!! Tremendous help.
Just want to say thanks for a great video that helped me buy the right tools and parts to get my broken door fixed in a good amount of time. The learning curve always takes a lot of time and you saved me so much time. If we were closer I would buy you an adult beverage of your choice. All the info contained in this is all you need to get this done except one small item. The plastic on the cable housing must be removed for the metal tips to work properly. Once I figured that out it was on! Even with a suspect camera man this is a top notch video, thanks again.
Hey, thanks for this. I didn't have the slightest clue what to do. I also enjoyed the humor.
Saved me $500, excellent video, thanks!
Thanks guys. Orilley's had them in stock. Fixed my 2001 F150 in just a couple of hours. Never realize how dark it is in the back seat until you try to fix something.
Y’all just saved me a bunch of money thanks 🤘🏽🤘🏽
Thank you for your video, it was very helpful to me... I got my two doors fixed thanks to the information on your video.
Outstanding, just outstanding. My 1997 door broke recently; I had no idea what was going on and suspected that it got jammed on a piece of towel lying on the floor. This helps. Thanks.
I just found this video to fix my truck. This is the best repair video on the internet. Because I will end up doing this job just like you did. Thanks!
Awesome video! I just had the same problem in my 98 and this video did the trick!
Very helpful video. Your step by step pics and explanation were great. The only thing I ran into is that, if you do not push the new metal parts down over the sheath of the cable, they will not fit when you reinstall them. It didn’t appear that you had that trouble, but I did in my case.
Definitely going to use this when flipping ford rangers, it's such an extraordinarily common problem! Thanks!
Thank you for making this video it was extremely helpful in getting the job done!
Thanks, I've had the door panel off for a couple of years, using a string on the two cables to open the doors. Was going to try rigging something but I watched your video and ordered the parts from Amazon. THANK YOU AGAIN.
That's cool. Thanks for the teaching and sharing.
My second door cable broke today. The first one broke about 3 years ago. Needless to say, it's time to do something about it. This video is much appreciated.
Thanks guys! Excellent video. Both doors on my 2003 F150 broke today. And truck only has 18,500 miles on it. Darn plastic parts. Thanks for making the video. I'm sure it has helped many people.
Great video guys. Just ordered them on Amazon for $6.99 and free shipping.
Thank you both! It worked and your video was sufficiently funny.
I did find that for my cables I had to trim off some of the plastic so the metal pieces would fit.
Thanks I really needed the info... goid stuff. Also that ratchet-to- screw driver was genius!
Thank you guys I watched several videos couldn't understand anything you explained it you guys are amazing love from Memphis
I got an estimate from my Local Dealer and it was over $200 to do this Job! Great video guys!!
Glad you had this on RUclips. Mine just broke and now it's fixed. Just like that. 👍
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have been quoted some pretty high numbers on fixing my truck doors. I followed this video step by step and it worked. I am so happy. Thank you again very much.
Just got the door fixed. You earned a like
Thanks for the video. I've got it to do on my 2000F150. One broke a few months ago and wasn't much inconvenience. Yesterday the other broke so I came looking for info. Yours was the first and last stop.
Yall are adorable! Keep up the good work and thank you! Told my hubby I wanted a truck and I'm doing the repairs myself. Xoxo
This is perfect as soon as I get the parts I'm going to fix my latches. thanks!
Thank you for the video you saved a good bit of bad language that my neighbors didn’t need to hear! Good job
EXCELLENT, THOROUGH VIDEO! Kickass job.
Appreciate the video. After watching it I had both open and fixed within 30 mins. Many different things can be used to brace that cable so if your stuck improvise
Nice job. This video actually reminded me that I have done this before! It was a 2000 Ranger. So, this fix works for the compact trucks too. Same repair parts.
panel snap, two phillips and a 10 😆Over paid engineers. Thanks for the vid.. Life saver you guys..👌👍
Good video. Thanks for the tip on removing stripped out torx screws. I was forced to use both the angle grinder to cut a slot as well as the wrench attached to the screwdriver to remove a screw. Replaced 3 screws with hex bolts M6-1.0 x 12mm ($4 at Advanced Auto Parts). Also, agree that you have to bottom out the cable covering inside the metal cable seat. Finally, adjust the grooved cable end forward or aft in the plastic clip as necessary to achieve proper cable length for operating door latch. (It can be a fine adjustment to achieve proper operation.)
Thank you so much for doing this video. The drivers side back door on my 2000 F150 stopped opening. I was able to open up the panel and find that the cable sheath for the upper latch had detached from the door handle mechanism. I just hooked it back up and it worked! Didn’t cost me anything. Thank you!
A free repair is the best repair!
Going through this right now, hoping like hell it's the same in my situation! Wish me luck a year later lol
Thanks for a great video. I followed your instructions and everything worked like a charm.
Very nice, I have two F150's with this issue, now I can fix the problem.
Thank You
Thanks for the video guys...I fixed my aunts door today in an hour and a half, after I got back with the parts. You guys saved me a ton of time, and her a bunch of money! Now I gotta get 2 kits to carry in my 2000 F250.
How did we fix stuff before utube? Thanks man fixed my 03 F150👍🏿
I can't tell you how many things I've fixed, researched and found out info on, because of RUclips. Love it!
jd1602155 omg ditto
The Outside Life Me too man!
What about the front doors?
You sent your wife to the dealer
thank you so much. that was exactly the problem and i had with my 1999 F150. The local auto parts shop thankfully had the dorman 926-111 parts in stock and i had 3 hours of sunny weather.
When my cables on my 2000 f150 broke 10 or more years ago the replacement cables were too expensive, I tried homemade fixes and nothing worked, so I abandoned drivers side but had two awkward strings to pull to open the passenger side to load tools. Never putting lower panel back on. The other day doing some repairs with bondo I thought I might try it, luckily I watched your video first and order them from Amazon. Three days later I have working doors. I never understood people crying with joy till today. Thank you soooooo much for your video.
Thank you, I'll fix my Ford 2003 150 back doors next week, I have the new parts , I needed this presentation .👍
My '02 F-150 has had this problem for several years and I have just been putting it off. I know this will help me get the job done once and for all. I am so tired of reaching over the back seat. Thanks
I agree with Sam Hill. Something’s broke, I go immediately go straight here to see magic performed & learn to fix whatever it may be, illuminating the frustration (and the fear) of royally £¥#*ing up by diving in with no idea what to do.
I’ll be tackling this job in a couple weeks (in the middle of pain in the ass stuff: moving, looking for right home, etc) and will have my pad right there with me with your great instructions along with some dynamite tips I got from a couple other catalogs I’ve come across.
A million thanks for all you folks for sharing what you love to do. You folks have hiked my interest in so many DIY, etc things I’ve never had in my 50 years.
Peace, YouTubbers!

I've worked as a Ford tech for how long and this is the first time I've heard of these. My 01 is getting them this week.
Nice video guys. I have the same issue with my 2000 f150 and now I know how to start and what part to use.
yOURS IS THE only VIDEO i COULD FIND. tHANKS GUYS !!
Great work Guys.
Thanks guys my back doors work again.. 👍
Great video, was able to change both of mine in 2 hrs.
Thanx of all the vids I’ve watched on this subject your the only one that told of the amazon repair ends, others say use bicycle brake ends. Thanx again 👍🇺🇸
Thanks guys! My 2003 F-150 Heritage broke today.
Great video and help me alot. Thank you for going through the pain for us.
Awesome video! Thank you! Saved me hundreds of dollars.
Very good job. Long enough to show what was needed, but now a lot of wasted video. Entertaining also. I liked that you screwed up a bolt, but showed a good way to get out a stripped bolt. I need all the tricks in my bag to fix my mess ups.
Much more complete than the Ziptie method. Good job.
I have a 2000 f150. Fixing to watch this video. Thanks
Video has been very helpful... thanks. My driver-side door had a connector break a few years ago, and I only replaced the broken terminator... a mistake... had to open it up later and finish the job. One thing I wish I had done was pull through a pull cord when I removed the upper latch and cable. This would have made is much easier to reinstall.
Thanks for the great video guys from the land down under.
I was quoted $1000au for a new handle latch kit, i just ordered the ends from ebay us total cost $65au and 3 hours labour when they arrive in 6 weeks
Thanks. You made that look easy.
Thank you emencely for entering the doorman part number
I could have a beer with you guys I owe you at least a case! You saved me big bucks.
Thanks!
I appreciate the parts list, too
Huge thanks for giving that part number brotha
Much better video than the last video from somebody else
Thanks for the video.. Used vice grips to squeeze the old plastics off.. Lived with one of the doors inop for over a year.. The second one failed and a couple of hours and all is right again..
Thanks man! Gonna have to do it on my truck now!
Thanks guys.
Thanks to you and another video, I was able to make a temporary fix with a spot tie, and have ordered the cable end fittings to complete.
Thanks again
Thank you for this great video and even listing the Part information. I was able to buy it same day at O'Reilly and also repair it same day. God Bless
Thanks. That’s the exact information I needed to know!
Great video, thanks. This was perfect for me but the length of the cable for the upper bracket needed some “assistance.” I had to cut away more of the black plastic to make both fit but this was very helpful. I even stripped one of the fasteners too. Awesome.
Ordered the parts and works good recomend thos fix for sure
Good stuff bro.
You guys are great! Thank you for the great video.
Good stuff and amusing! Thanks.
Impressive. And funny! Thanks! I believe I can fix mine now!!
Thank you for the tutorial, I will go ahead with my repair, driveway mechanic.
Thanks for the vid! Both of my doors locked up within a week of each other and used only this video as reference and was able to complete it all by myself. I saw in a comment that you didn't need to take out the handle and was able to do both sides without removing it although I think it should make it easier to repeg the one placement clip on the top piece much easier if you want to fully complete the job. Gotta really squeeze and cramp your hand to get in there otherwise. Anyway, helped me fix my problem. Thank you.
👍
Thanks for this video, your explanation was better than most. I would recommend just using a razor blade for the plastic ends. I replaced my two doors (all 4 locks - 03' F150 XLT) in like an hour and change. Thanks!
I used tile nips to gently squeeze the old plastic ends and they easily broke right off.
