No stupid screaming, no stupid loud music, just very clear concise instruction. Good onya mate, thank you kindly I'm subscribed.
Great information for when the door lock actuator does not let you open the door, and you do not have more room to look and discover where everything is. Your video describes things perfectly 👌
I knew I should have done the drivers side a month ago when the passenger side went out. Guess what i'm doing this morning. This video was well worth the watch and the aluminum repair cable housing worked perfectly. I found the only pair in stock were i live at the auto zone. Thanks
That's what happened to me too. Drivers side went out one day, and a few weeks later, the other side quit. Glad to hear it helped you and you got it working again.
Had to fix the door cables on an identical truck. The great videos you made are full of info. Thanks for making them and helping out everyone that may have to fix these cables.
Very clear and precise , excellent vid. Good job showing what’s important , and the added tips
Very thorough explanation on removal and re-install of door panel. Will view "How to fix door latch" for phase 2 of repair. Great job, thanks.
I came across this video while looking for removing the J-clips on a Lincoln Aviator rear seat trim panel. This wasn't what I was looking for, but I just wanted to commend you on the video work in this clip. I love the zoom ins, slow motion, and clear narration. Well done!
Perfectly explained. I will be looking at this a few more times while I try to fix my truck cables... Thanks for sharing this knowledge.
Amazing amount of help! I have seen some great people who know how to use a video camera correctly, but this gentleman takes some amazing details and closeups! THIS is the video you are looking for! My F350 back door is back fully operational, Thank You!
p.s. Be sure and test your inside and outside door releases!! It may keep you from having to remove the door panels again :)
Just got me a 99 f250 7.3 and has this issue thankz to ur vids ill be fixing my rear door speakers and cables for the door latch.🤘🤘🤘🙏🙏🙏
You are fantastic! This saved me hours of frustration and, likely, broken clips. The upper and lower came off easily. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this.
I dont mean to be offtopic but does anybody know a trick to log back into an instagram account?
I was stupid forgot my login password. I would love any help you can give me!
@Ashton Alejandro instablaster =)
Awesome job. I ordered a new latch/cable from Amazon prior to diving in & this video was perfect. Thank you & keep up the great work!!
Thank you. I believe this is the info I needed. Next to find what's broken and the appropriate video on how to fix it.
SO glad I found your site... BEST... ETA on parts is shipping- few days- will have time to remove panels... thank you...
Bout a year ago one of my rear doors wouldn’t open so I used this video to help me fix it. Was fairly easy fix and I got the door working. Now the other side went out so I’m back 😂
If I remember right, mine went out a couple of weeks apart.
Great video worked perfectly on my 05 Super Duty. Thank you!!!!
Very well done sir. You made this very simple. I am most grateful for you time.
Thanks for your video. I ordered my parts and followed your instructions for a beautiful repair.
Thanks for the information .My friend destroyed his panel. Did not know how to take it off the right way.
I'm going to have to agree with trashpakker!!!!
Wonderful job very thorough it takes longer to watch the video than it actually takes to disassemble keep up the good work!!!!! P.S. Thank you for your help!!
Great video, great instructions. I will view again as I perform my work needed. Thanks
Thank you for your video. Exactly what I needed. Now I'm off to watch your other video about fixing the cables! Very helpful tutorial!
Just what I needed. Thanks!
EXACTLY the video I was needing. Thank you! It's kinda funny... I was watching a ChuckE2009 video where he was reviewing his late 90s early 2000s F250 SuperDuty truck before selling it and he mentioned that one of the only problems he ever had was that one of his half doors locked up on him and he had to fix it and that he had read it was a common problem. And I'm thinking "hmmm weird... I got a 1999 250 SD and my rear half doors work fine.". THAT VERY SAME DAY.... I discovered my driver's side half door latch had failed and I could no longer open it lol. Crazy huh? Thanks for the good video. Gonna dig into my half door soon and fix it.
GREAT Video, Thank you for this, it's just what i needed.
Thanks, your video helped me fix mine !
Great video, easy to understand.
Great video mate!!! Good stuff!!!!
Great presentation! Thank you
Great video, very helpful
Big help. Well done videos.
great videos, Thanks a lot for your help. BIG HELP
yay, it worked. Thank you!
Great video thanks !!!!!
Super. Good information thanks
Nice job. Thanks.
It went a lot smoother this time , 1/3 the time to complete. those aluminum ferrules work great and should last the life of the truck.
Thank you for taking the time to provide this great video on removal and re-installation of these panels.
Very good informative video
thanks man this well help out alot! please keep making cool videos like this XD
Very Good!!!
Thank you
Appreciate it✊
Great video. Thank you very much for taking the time to create this. My suicide door is stuck but my truck is a Ford F-150. Hopefully the similarities of models will allow me to use the same instructions in your video.
When you finish, let me know if it worked for you and what year your truck is. Thanks
Fix pro trigger door latch on a Ford F-150
Thx!
good job!
Hello Fixpro! Thank you very much for your video. I know it seems silly, but there are many videos with F150, but not Superduty door repair. Just knowing where the tabs are makes it easier for disassembly.

+zambonimaxx Glad to hear it helped you. Thanks for the comment.
I have a 2004 Ford Ranger Edge with the suicide doors without the opening wing windows. One day both back doors wouldn't open. Is there a locking system on those doors? If there's a cable does it operate both doors?
Thank you for your videos , I have a 2000 Ford ranger and the cables are both loose inside the door , is there any way to remove the panel with the door shut and not having access to the cables from the exterior? Frank
I don't know how to on a Ranger. If neither back door will open, I would suggest going to a salvage yard (u pull it), or a friend with similar truck, to figure out where all the fasteners are located and practice getting them open.
This looks like good info for some Ford trucks- not Rangers, and fwiw, the door is clearly swung open at 1:47 thru 1:54, which no doubt makes the job easier if not doable. So, not sure these methods will work when the door is actually stuck shut. Thanks for the upload, but would suggest being a little more accurate in the video title.
I titled it that way because these trucks are notorious for breaking the cables that actuate the latches. You have to remove the panel with the door stuck closed to access the latches. I had to do that for both doors (with the latches stuck). So I already knew it would work. I shot some of the parts of the video with the door open to get better shots of what needed to be done.
Helpful info, but does NOT apply to the 2002 Ford Ranger, which has non opening windows on the suicide doors and only one inner panel.
Do you have any information/ video on front door panel arm pad replacement ? I broke the clips and would like to replace them thanks
Sorry, I do not.
CZcams finally working
I am wondering how to replace the rear quarter window like the one shown in this video. The bolts holding the window itself don't seem to want to turn....is there a trick to these types of bolts?
I have not replaced one of those windows. I have replaced a similar window with similar bolt. There wasn't anything special about them. Chances are, they are just stuck. But I hate to tell you that and have you break your window. Try on a window that is in the sun so it is hot. Good luck.
Great video however i need to repair the door latch assemble.
What year is your truck?
Seat belt disconnect first???
any chance you know the size of the bolts that attach the upper portion of the lower door panel?
I am not near my truck right now so I can't check. If you are talking about he head, I believe it is 10mm. If you are talking about the threads, I think they were more like a screw thread than a bolt thread. If you lost them, you could probably pull one out of the opposite door to take to a hardware store or auto parts store. Let me know if you need more help than this.
I have a 03 ranger xlt and the door won't open how do I open it manually ? I looked for your video but did not see it ?

Hello fixpro. I was wondering if you can help me out with my 2008 f250 ? The problem I'm having it's similar to the up videos you posted , but in my case my cables are working just fine just my bottom latch won't unlock I put up a video yesterday. Can you take a look at it and let me know what you think I would appreciate it thank you
+XxKiloxX Very interesting. I have a video schedule for release tomorrow that addresses this problem when it is a broken cable. But I can see that yours appear to be actuating the lever. The inner workings of the latch sometimes get gummed up. Try pushing out on the door while pulling the cable. ,Have you tried some lubricant sprayed on the lower latch from inside the door so it runs down thru the latch? Then push and pull on the door, then try the cable again. If that doesn't work, I would guess that it is something busted inside the latch. You could take the one off of the other door and see if you can figure a way to manually trigger it. I see the lever working, so you would have to dig deeper than that. I would try myself, but my truck is in AZ right now and I am in Destin, FL. Won't be back in AZ for a few months. Would love to take a stab at it. Where are you located?
+fixpro256 . Thank you for responding , im located in northern Illinois. Yea i tried everything you said, and taking out the other door wont work because that door has the same problem lol . like you said i think theirs something busted inside the latch , i will try one more time to get it open by pushing and pulling on the door . any ways thank you for taking the time to help me.
+XxKiloxX Did both doors stop working at the same time? My truck is a 99 so I am sure there are some differences. Mine has a mechanical interlock to prevent the rear doors from being opened unless the front door is opened. It is a little black lever that sticks out in the area between the doors. The front door hits it when the front door closes. Does yours have that? Did you have any work done to the truck or a wreck around the time they stopped working? Mine doesn't have child safety latches, but yours might so be sure to check for that. Look in your manual and see if there is some kind of quirky condition that they may be checking for. Does the interior light come on when the door is open. Just asking in case it is a mechanical interlock.
+fixpro256 I checked everything you just mentioned. Yes my door does have the black lever and everything works as it should. My truck does not have a child lock. As far as any accidents go I'm unsure of because I only have this truck for a month in a half just thinking that the doors may have a broken cable issue but that's not the problem. I got it from a small dealership as it with no warranty due to the fact that it was a low priced truck. So I really don't know much of the history only that the truck was used as a city truck working on the interstates. I'm going tot he dealership to see if I can find more information as to how I can take care of this problem.
+XxKiloxX A trip to the dealership may be a good idea. I noticed a few extra pieces inside the door near the lower latch, but I couldn't see them very well. If you get a chance, shoot another video and get some of the surrounding area. Are there any solenoids or other cables attached to the lower latch, besides the main cable? If you turn your phone sideways before you start the video it will fill the screen better. I don't remember how far I had to move the lever that is part of the latch to get my lower latch to release. I think you are moving it far enough, but you could try moving it further with your finger.
My truck is a 2001 dodge 1500 . Is it the same ?
I am not familiar with that model. It may have some similarities, but is probably very different.
Angeline Kovach (
is there any way to get the door open if its the top latch that is suck and the bot is messed up and can't get it out to open the top one?
Watch this one: czcams.com/video/yfeQGMvsoSg/video.html
And this one: czcams.com/video/7Ta7yx26qwM/video.html
Those may address your problem.
If I understand your question, spray the bottom latch down with a bunch of wd40 and wiggle the parts around as best you can while you do that. That might get it to release if it is just dirt messing it up. The video links will help you with the rest. Don't forget to share, thumbs up, and subscribe.
I have also started a new channel to put my new automotive videos on. You may be interested in it also. czcams.com/channels/-JqCCeZDSWM4cucSCOABRA.html
Thanks, FixPro256
the top bolt is suck i can't get it out at all. any ideas?
It the torques head is stripped(usually from using the wrong size) use a set if small vice grips to grad the head and turn it. Could also use "damages nut removal socket". If the threads are stripped, press a thin putty knife or razor blade under the edge of the head while turning the bolt. Once u get the edge under it, twist the knife to help force the good threads to grab.
Have you had any luck getting your door open?
havn't had time got sick had to get a shot and other stuff :/
on a truck like this what is the door type called
SuperCab
www.akinsford.com/blog/difference-between-ford-regular-cab-supercab-supercrew/
doesnt work on 2003 ford ranger. The panel goes over the top of the latch. The door must be open to remove panel
Never mentioned how to open a stuck door once the cable busted.
Pull the cable with pliers
Nope 😕 Didn't help me for a F250 2000 , that job with the Allen wrench , no slot 😕 , got most of exposed but still won't open 😕😕😕😕
