Does it work for a 2012 Ford Fusion and do I need to buy anything else?
What he said, does this work for a 2012?
Works for ‘07-‘12 i believe
Poop. Uutdhf😊
I have a 2009 Ford Fusion, & the dealer here wanted $386 to replace the driver's side door handle. I ordered the part, watched your video, & installed it in about 15 minutes. Thanks so much for the video!
That's awesome man! Glad it saved you some $$!
$386???? WOW!!
@@lalorodriguez8122 yeah that's hard to believe, but I will ask the dealer bodyshop today
That’s fucking ridiculous
@@FusionKidd this was a Great video bro. Very well made. Liked how you sped it up in those parts. I put my new drivers side handle on yesterday. The only problem I had, is that the lock above the door handle stays open. When you hit the lock button on the key, it doesn't lock. I have to push the lock in, by hand. The rest works fine. I think my problem was with the white grooved part. After I put the round wire connection into it's spot, I then tried to snap the white grooved plastic piece in. But I couldn't get it to snap all the way down on the new handle. I think this is why the lock (above the handle) stays open when I put it back together. I'm going to do it all over again, to figure out why the lock doesn't stay at the "in"position, above the door handle. It shouldn't be in the unlock position. It's really minor, but I want it to be perfect. Thanks again for such a great awesome vid man 👊
I'm a 57 year old female and I watched your video, ordered my part and fixed my own door on my 2011 Mercury Milan! Thank You so much!
Thanks for mentioning this Kris, because my 2006 Milan drivers interior door went yesterday and I came across this video. The whole time I was thinking, "Well that certainly LOOKS like my door handle that's shot!" while I was watching this. Went to carparts.com & found my part for $16.56. I can only imagine how they would ream me at the mechanics for this simple fix! THANKS, FUSION KIDD!!! (BTW... 54 yr old single Mom about to fix her OWN dang car.)
@@gabbygryphon the dealership charged me $30 for my 2011 Ford fusion hybrid driver door handle. Now to see what the bodyshop will charge or if I want to attempt this as his door is different than mine.
I just did mine a few minutes ago! I knew I was missing removal of a bolt for the driver’s side of my 2009 MKZ and it was just a matter of finding it! Once I found it the part was replaced and door back on and together in 3 minutes! Worked like a charm. I really appreciate videos like this. Next to search for spark plugs/tune-up and brake drum and pad replacement! Ugh! lol
I have a 2011 Milan as well and will be following these instructions to replace mine. I’m glad it worked for you, and thankful this guy posted this video!
I was quoted $1500, to do this. Only cost me $12 for the handle off Amazon and I did it myself with this video. Thank You 🙏🏾
Again, thank you! As you can see in the comments, I thanked you five years ago. I just had to reference it again for the passenger side door handle and the instructions came in handy again. Thank you!
Thanks for this. Was able to replace both handles in under 30 min. One addition: if you don’t have a 9/32 socket, a 7mm is basically equivalent
And if you dont have a 15/16 the 8mm will work
Add me to the billions of others that found your video super clear and helpful. It took me 20 minutes on my 2010 Ford Fusion, rather than waiting 2 weeks to get it in at a shop and having to pay about $425. Thanks so much.
You’re a lifesaver! I ordered the part as you recommended ($19 rather than $60 at the dealer) plus saved $400 for installation by doing it myself. It was as easy as you said. For the drivers side 2009 MKZ there is also a 5/32 that needs removed under the inside door cup. Just use pick tool to pull up the rubber bottom to reveal the bolt. Thanks so much!
Good to know and glad to help!
Thanks for the instructional vid, it really took about 10 minutes! The handles are on Amazon now for $10.90....
Have a 2010 Fusion, quoted over 200 to fix the handle. bought the part for $12 on Amazon, took less than 30mins to replace. You're the best!
THANKS TO YOU I FIXED BOTH MY DOORS ON MY 2012 FUSION !
as a 23 year old female i am very proud i was able to complete both doors for under $30 !
i was quoted at the repair shop to fix both for $250 - unbelieveable..
I cant thank you enough (:
I just had the driver side door handle on my 2012 Fusion break today and glad I looked this up. Great listing of tools needed and links to the part. Thanks much Fusion Kidd!
I replaced the front driver side door handle last week using this video.
It worked great! My four year old son helped by handing me the necessary tools.
That's so awesome! Glad you could include your family as well!
You are a life saver! Thanks so much for this very well explained video on how to replace the door handle. A repair that probably would’ve cost me several hundred dollars at a dealership, instead only cost about $15 for the part from Amazon and a small amount of my time.
Thanks! I did this today in 15 minutes after watching your video, it was perfect for speed and detail!
Based on your video I found the courage to fix my wifes 2012 ford fusion door handle.. With your guidance I was able to do the job in less than 15 minutes!!! Thank you so much for your how to video... If I ever see you in person beers are on me!! you saved me a couple hundred dollars... thanks dude
That's great! Glad to help!
I googled this, found your video and read everyone's comments and bought the part on Amazon for $16.88 and installed it in under 25 minutes. Mine was the driver side and it was still the same with a few more connections. It was so easy. Thank you so much for sharing this. It was so helpful and saved so much money. Thanks!
That's great! Thanks for watching! Glad it helped
Thank you SOOO much for this awesome how-to-video. I have just enough know-how to be dangerous, but after watching this video was done in less then one hour (including time to get new part)
Nice! Glad to help!
Thanks for the details you included in this instructional video. I watched it multiple times and gave me the confidence to order the replacement and make the attempt. I completed the job yesterday, me as a first timer feeling proud and grateful. I got my tools together in advance with the exact sizes you advised. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for this video!! Amazing. Ford dealer wanted $52 plus tax and another $300 to install! I don't have all the proper tools yet but if I can find them or borrow them from a friend, I will be doing this myself now thanks to you for $30!
Nice!
Great video.Wife and I just used this video to replace my driver's side interior door handle. We got the part for $8 on eBay. Your detailed instructions were huge for a first timer like myself. Thanks again.
I got my door handle delivered to my home, from WalMart for $15.98 (including Tax & shipping). Note: if ordering from WalMart they sell out quickly, so check back from time to time if sold out.
Then this video helped me install it in less than 30 minutes, I work slow, since I am a Disabled American Veteran. Thanks so much for the video!
Thank you for your service. Glad to help!
Thanks SO much! I was able to replace my door handle in no time! Had my 17 year old son with me to teach him something 😂 and he said that you were amazing at explaining everything. Made it EASY!
Thank you! That's good to hear, glad to help!
Excellently edited video, detailing tools needed, and speeding through screw removal, and demonstrating just how easy this job is! Thank you, Fusion Kidd!
I bought my part on Ebay for $14.50, it took about 35 minutes to change it out, but I thought that was pretty good for a 65 year old gal. Thanks SO much, my dealer wanted 400 bucks. $14.50 is WAY better!
Well done! I was able to help someone who was not able to pay the dealership to repair it. I took just a little bit longer than your video! Thanks!
That's great! I'm glad you were able to help that person out!
Thanks Fusion Kid! Just fixed driver’s side of my 2012 Fusion in about15 minutes after watching your video. Ordered part from Amazon Prime for 11.99 yesterday. It arrived about an hour ago. Easy Peezy😎
Amazing step by step! I bought the door handle for my 2011 Ford Fusion weeks ago and since my husband has been working crazy hours I just did it myself! Thank you!
Glad to help!
Thank you for taking the time to show us how is done in this video. I changed the broken door handle of my car today following every step of your video. It took me about 15 minutes to get it done and spent less than $30!!! Thanks bro!
Thank you for giving step by step instructions and explaining what to expect
Just used this video to replace my handle. 2010 Fusion Sport. This video was so in-depth and perfectly guided me through. Only thing I personally did not do was disconnect the window controls. Everything else was spot-on and thorough. Thank you.
Thanks a lot, was very simple. Much easier than with my ‘04 explorer sport trac, that door handle was a real pain. Your video was very helpful.
OMG I can't thank you enough for explaining and showing everything so well. I got the door handle part off ebay for 10 bucks and used my hubby's tools to surprise him with a fixed door! Thanks!
That's great! Glad everything worked out!
This isn’t the first time my handle has broken on my 2012 fusion and I was charged $250 by the dealership to fix it. This time I spent $12 on amazon and about 20 minutes following the video. Thank you man.
Thanks to your wonderful video, easily replaced the driver's side door handle on my 2010 Ford Fusion for $22. I would never have attempted it without watching your very clear instructions. Very helpful that you listed all the needed tools at the beginning of the video. Thanks for saving me boo-coo bucks!
That's great! Glad to help!
Thanks great! I hope to replace the driver side handle on my 2010 Ford Fusion. I'm really nervous cz I've never done anything like this before. I'm worried that I might break the clips when I remove the door panel. I've been watching videos like to help me get more confidence before attempting this.
thanks for the video
I got my part for 11.99... and I order a few of the tools for 8 bucks... can't wait for Friday!!!
I had to replace all 4! This video was a life saver, thank you :)
LOVE the way you show all the steps, the tools required, and don't spend 15 minutes talking about non-related filler. To the point, clear = perfect.
Received one today from Amazon. Cost was $12. They had another brand for $20, but why burn 8 bucks?
I just replaced my driver and my front passenger door handles today. You have saved me so much money. I appreciate the fact that you made this very easy to follow. I doubted myself and it took me longer than 15 minutes but I'm so happy that I was able to accomplish my goal.
That's great! Glad to help
Thank you so much for this video. Got home from work today and my driver side interior latch stopped working. The outside handle worked. Got my part ordered through Amazon prime for just over 20 bucks, and it should be here this Saturday and I will attempt this repair myself. At first panicked thinking I'd have to take it in to get it fixed, but, then thought check youtube. Your video was the top hit on my search and I'm relieved that this is something I can fix myself and not let a shop or dealership hose me for a 15 min job and 20 bucks for the part.
That's awesome to hear! Definitely let me know how it goes, good luck!
Thank you. Your video was wonderfully efficient. I wasn't particularly optimistic, but I found that I had all tools, your video was great, and Ford apparently made the fasteners such that they didn't self-destruct when I removed the panel. Fifteen to 20 minutes was all that it took. One thing that caught me off guard for about a minute was that I couldn't see the screw in the handle well. There was a removable rubber base held in place by gravity.
Thanks for watching! That's good to know about the rubber base. I like your name btw haha
Perfect explanation. This video saved me a bunch of money. Bought the part off Amazon for 16.99. Took about 15-20 minutes to install. Very easy...even for someone who is totally inept about car repairs.
This video saved me 220 dollars. Thank you!
I'm a 74-year-old lady who was able to replace the handle in 45 minutes after watching the video. I didn't remove the whole door panel. I pried the top a few inches away and a friend held it open while I reached in and removed the handle. One thing not on the video was the peg on the door panel that fits into the hole on the left side to stabilize it horizontally. That took a few minutes to remove and insert the handle. I didn't have to disconnect any of the electrical either. If I had to do it again, it would probably only take about 15-20 minutes. If I didn't have a friend available, I could have blocked it open with some wood. Thanks for a great video including exactly which tools are needed. The part was $12.50 on Amazon.
Awesome video, man. I hate going to the garage for anything, glad to know that this is an easy fix that only cost $12.
Both of my handles broke about 1 week apart. Local auto parts store wanted $50 each for one of the handles; the other would take 1 week to get. Checked on online parts stores ($8.05 for one); Amazaon $18.50 for set of both handles, with free shipping, 2 day delivery. And retail stores wonder why they cannot stay in business. And easy to repair, especially with a good video. Nice job showing all items and procedures close up...and F-FWD through taking out a screw! :-)
Just replaced the driver side door handle. Thanks to this video I can now open my door.
Thanks for the instructional video, just finished replacing my 2012 Ford Fusion drivers side handle. Easy, 10 mins give or take, thanks again! FYI: Part cost $9.96.
Hey man thanks for this detailed video. I almost always take my car to my local Ford shop to get things fixed but, after just spending $1,200 on it a month ago, I was determined to do this myself. Took me a little longer than I thought since it was my first time doing this but it worked like a charm! Thanks again!
Thank you! Your video was very easy to follow. Saved me $300. I paid $10 for the handle.
Thank you so much. Ford dealer tried to charge me $600 this week for 2012 Fusion passenger handle replacement. Bought part on Amazon for $12.99 and door trim tool for $10. You saved me!!
That's great! $600 is ridiculous
Super simple, took me under 10 minutes thanks to your video. I used a mini-spring bar to remove the panel from the door.
I am sure this has been said multiple times but thanks for posting this. I just fixed my daughters car yesterday!
Amazing how easy some of this stuff is and how much the dealers are willing to rip you off. Thank you for this demonstration!
Super easy to follow. I'm not particularly mechanically inclined and I fixed my 2012 Fusion's driver-side door handle in about 30 minutes by following this video. Thanks!
Thank you SO much, got mine replaced in 15 minutes and (hopefully) didn't break anything
That's great! Glad to help
Appreciate Boss ! Knock it out in 15 minutes and my girl was impress.
Thank you. I fixed my car door for $20 and in under 15 minutes. Awesome directions.
YOU ! ... are the best young man ! Omg I watched your video & as a woman you have the best advice & directions .
You told AND SHOWED ME IN ADVANCE WHAT TOOLS I NEEDED -)all the others guys start talking stuff I didn’t understand at all .
Thanks so much you save me money I needed .. AND I won’t have to wait for my son ... ha!
That's great! Glad to help!
Great how to video, took ~25 minutes and saved a load of $. Special shout out to my wife, "Are you sure you can do this?" KMA!
Just installed my new handle on my 2011 Fusion with the help from your video. A 15 minute job that would have taken me hours to figure out without your great instructions!! Awesome! Thanks!!
That's great! Glad to help!
Just used your vid to replace the inner door handle on my 2006 Ford Fusion, thx for the help!
Thank you Sir, I will now be replacing the door handle on my 2012 Ford Fusion SEL 👍🏼
Personally as a extreme novice I would have liked the putting back together shown but the video got me through it with no mistakes and saved probably a couple hundred dollars.
Thank you for the easy to follow video, especially for someone who is new to fixing cars. I replaced my fiancé’s door handle in 10 minutes. Much appreciated!
This video has saved me over a thousand dollars at this point. I was able to change the driver side handle on my 07 Ford Fusion last year and then today I changed both the driver and passenger side handles on my mom's Mercury Milan. She is beyond happy to not be reaching out the window to open her doors now! Thank you so much!
Thanks for the great instructions & saving me at least $150. Your video made everything perfectly clear...and thanks especially for that warning about the door panel pop!
First of all awesome to the point step by step video.
For anyone in my situation which might not be anyone at this point. If you have access to a wrecked car such as in a junkyard or like in my case I had an 08 totalled out in the backyard. The problem was the front door handle was boogered up on it too. So using thus video as a guide I took the drivers side passenger door handle off just to see if it would work. It did but only after one modification. The part on the driver's door is longer. The black plastic piece that sticks out in the front part is longer on the front door handles. After comparing the two they are exactly alike other than this. As far as I can tell that is only there to help support the part once the door panel is replaced. I had nothing to lose so I modified the rear door handle to make it work. I had to take the whole tab off which I did with a wheel grinder. Ground it down flush. The reason I had to do that was because the door lock button assembly for the front door would not fit with that tab in the way. I installed it and as far as I can tell it is working perfectly.
I know nobody is gonna need to do this but its good to know it can be done if you have a free part like I did. About 40 minutes of time,and a saw or grinder. Who knows maybe it won't last but it was free and I can always buy one if it breaks.
This video was spot on. I saved a ton of money on replacing my driver's side interior door handle because you posted this video. Many thanks!
Thank you so very much for your video I actually had to replace the door handle on my driver side rear on a 2012 Fusion but nevertheless it was very easy to do and like you said with minimal Tools in about 10 minutes I had the new handle installed in a snap thanks for sharing your video it was a big help
2021 and this video is still helpful 💚 helped me get my 2010 driver side handle fixed
So easy! Can’t believe I put off installing the new handles (I ordered long ago) for so long. Wish I had watched this sooner.
I had to replace the driver door handle on my 2011 Mercy Milan. It's the identical part but the video I watched then showed having to remove the speaker 1st. Now the handle broke on my 2012 Ford Fusion. Glad to see I don't need to remove the speaker this time. Great Video! Thx!
Awesome how to video! Straight to the point and easy to comprehend! Very well done! Thank you!
Thank you! Glad to help
I have a 2011 Ford Fusion and both my door handles broke...I watched your video and I was able to do it myself...thank you... thank you ...thank you....I saved so much money...and I can get out of my car without rolling down the window and reaching out lol...
Thanks for this. Going to a friends house tomorrow to replace the driver door handle. Got everything together, won't have to bring all my tools.
Tyvm. Took about 6 minutes longer than your actual video. My job requires me to be in my vehicle the whole shift. Thank goodness it's fixed now
Thank you! Glad to help
Thanks for the video. Just replaced our driver door handle by watching this and following your steps. Super easy and took only 40min! Cheers!
My 2010 Ford Fusion's driver door handle broke again for the 2nd time in 2 years. The first time, I had a dealership fix it because I was traveling. This time, I watched this video, ordered the parts from Amazon and installed it in 15 minutes. My favorite part of the video "don't freak out."
Thanks for watching, glad to help!
This informational video was awesome. I followed his instructions and it was soooo easy and it took less than a half hour. If you need to replace your door handle, DO NOT PAY SOMEONE TO DO IT! Order your part online, Amazon or another retailer, pull up this video and be prepared to have a beer in less than half an hour. And it's not expensive to do. Thanks for your help!!
This worked great! Thank you so much for saving me money and time. A few white clips broke when I was removing the door, but it seems nice and secure after reinstalling.
I did this today on my 2011 Mercury Milan. Took me maybe 20 minutes. Thank you so much for posting this, you’ve helped out me and many others!
Glad to help! Thanks for watching!
Many years ago I told my children that American car engineers were not inferior to Japanese, German or Swedish; instead the reason American cars required more service and lasted for a shorter time was planned obsolescence. This handle is a good example of that. The plastic part that breaks is actually manufactured with a thinner area where it is intended to break. The handle mechanism pushes against it at a slight angle causing it to fatigue over time. It could be easily changed if Ford wanted to avoid this problem. I have pictures of the broken mechanism and also the interior of the MKZ 2012 door if you want to add an update to your very helpful video.
Thanks so much for the help. My fusions handle broke like this last weekend and I panicked about having to spend a bunch of money at a mechanic. Thanks for helping me save some of that money by getting the part and doing t myself! The tip about the temp fix by using your unlock button was great to know in the meantime too.
Thank you! I was able to dive right in and complete this in about 15 min with no issues because of this video. Thank you!
Your video was very handfull, i replaced the handle in 15-20 minutes and save a lot of money, thank you so much!
It was my Great Pleasure Fusion 😀 People like you, is What makes CZcams etc., So Helpful, and Awesome !!! Anything one needs to know is a Few clicks away. Have a Great Weekend 👍👍
Thank you for the kind words! Have a great weekend as well!
Saved me over 300 bucks and it took me about 30 minutes! Thanks !
Thank you, very much! I had to replace the driver side handle on my 2009 Ford fusion and your video was perfect! I got it done in about a half hour.
Thanks a lot, I saved $100 bucks. I will following you to future repairs.
Glad to help save some money!
Thank you I just followed your directions because It was so easy so I did not pay attention when I put it back forgot the put in the door cover first before put the handle cover but just unscrewed it. It is not big deal.
Thank you.
Glad to help! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the great tutorial. We fixed our 2012 Ford Fusion door handle thanks to you!
Great video! Ford dealer wanted $144 for the replacement part, carparts.com sold me one for $25. You saved me a chunk! Process was very easy. Thanks!
Glad to help!
Excellent video, made the job easy, even for the drivers side. THANKS😊!
Thank you so much for posting this video. It went exactly as you explained it. I was able to replace my door handle with no issues.
My girlfriend and I followed your video to a tee..10 minute, $17 fix...not $150..bless you!!!
Glad to help! Thanks for watching!
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I know this is an old video but came in so handy. Watched it twice and banged it out in less than 2 songs on the radio. So stoked. Little things.
Nice! Glad to help!
I agree with everyone who has posted about this being easy and taking only 15-20 minutes once you have gathered all the proper tools. Great video and worked for my 2011 Ford Fusion driver side front door, just a couple extra electrical connections that has similar tabs to push in on to release. Thank you for saving me $100-200!
Nice!
Thanks, man. Followed your video and got my part from the same place you mentioned and the installation was a breeze. Now I regret putting it off for so long because rolling down the window to access the door handle on the outside was getting old fast!! Thanks again...
Nice! Glad to help!
@@FusionKidd To bad you had to do this because I found a video that if you pull on the handly and the door lock mech. you can open the door regularly ... Ive going 8 months strong on the broken handle myself lol
Local car shop watned $100 ... i told them to suckamynutz
5 years and still going with rolling the window down to get out. Not for much longer.
Ill be getting my handle in today, thank you for the video! This will be much easier than I anticipated.
Thumbs up for CZcams. Having great people like you being able to show us how to do it yourself vids is awesome. Thank you for your video.
Thank you!
