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 RUclips videos should be made
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.
🏆🛠 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 RUclipsrs. Well done and I can now fix my broken Fusion's door handle.
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!
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.
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!!
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 !
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.
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.
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! :)
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.
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!
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!
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!
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
@@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
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!!!
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.
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 :(
