- In this video I changed the rear door latch assembly on the driver side or just fix the clips. Went to local junk yard to find a good working assembly or you can order clips off Amazon.

Bro, this is the best how to video for car repair I’ve seen this far. If you made a whole series of these videos I’d watch just to be prepared to fix some shit! lol
Thank you so much out of all the videos that were on CZcams yours help me the best. I was able to pop my door back open. Which makes my life so much better. Thank you for taking the time to post this video.
Glad I found this video, I am doing this job now on my '93 E 150. I didn't know I could take the latch assembly right out! I've been beating the crap out of my fingers trying to reach inside! Thanks for posting!
Had the same rear left door jammed shut, couldn't go to work!!! This got me back in business in about 15 seconds. Thanks for taking the time to make a well made video.
I was able to open the door in about 15 minutes as I had to remove the custom trim panels first. Now to install new cables. Thanks for the great video.
Great video!! Short, precise & easy to follow! I'm a fan!
I love it, he really be saving people’s lives here
this is the kind of video I like. straight to the point, no bells and whistles, job done thanks!
Thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial. Very helpful!

Thanks so Much!!! Very clear instructions. You just saved me a trip to the mechanic :)
Nice job!!! Great video tutorial!
Thank You! Just what I needed!
Thank you very, very, very much! I was able to resolve the problem right away.
It really works thank you,hello from Cabo San Lucas Baja California Sur México
Love the information... some things are much better without the annoying music.. like this!
Very helpful 👍 do a video on the passenger side door please both need replacement 🙄
Thanks . Helpful. 👍
This week on Tech Hobbies, Mitch Hedberg fixes a broken vehicle door.
Thank you
Right to the point!!!
Looks easy
You didn't show how to replace the other end of the cables at the latches.
I replaced the bottom cable & it works great! 3 months later the top latch stopped working now I can't get the door to open to repair the top cable.
HOW CAN I GET THE DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR OPEN TO REPAIR!???
I have the exact same problem and no idea how to fix it.
does anyone else?
Good
Do the door on the opposite side. I removed Outside and inside handles as well as the door latch. Everything seems to work fine til I get to put everything back. Shut it. Door won't open. Key hole feels weird now as it wont turn as it normally would. Its eaither my cables are too stiff and wont let door latch return to normal position or it the door latch itself not returning to the original position. But when i take it apart everything seems to be working normal.
can you do a video on opening the other door at the rear passenger side? mine is lucked and will not open
got mine fixed! the door with licence plate. made a video on it
I'm having trouble with same door. Will watch your video.. 👍
I pryied the bottom latch open like this. it is now stuck in unlock but still dosnt free the bottom latch. need to open so I can replace the bottom latch as it seems siezed.
HI . GREAT VIDEO.. I HAVE A 1994 FORD E150 CLUB WAGON. WILL THIS WORK FOR ME..MY CABLES ARE BROKE ON BOTH DOORS. NEED TO GET DOORS OPEN ..CAN YOU GIVE ME SOME HELP OR VIDEO TO WATCH. THANKS VICTOR
What do you do if the wire comes off the top latch and you can't open the rear driver door?
I'm in this spot now.... how did you get the door open ?
My problem too. The cable came off the upper latch with door closed.
great ! can you do the same but the other door please ?
Putting the whole unit inside the clip didn't cause the cable to be too short? There are slots in the plastic to fit the clip. I would have loved to have seen you attach the cable to the bottom latch.
How can I get it open have the same problem but the latch broke so I can’t push it with screw driver to open it
How do you change the rear door latch asembly on the passenger door?
do you know the size of the screw on upper latch? are they all M6?
2 open door do same thing on opposite rear door?
This may have been a good video but the nasty covered up all the helpful stuff. Thanks guy anyway
How to replace it if it’s on the other door? Right side?
Great video, but I cannot get the cable into the either one of the latch assemblies and you didn't show us how to do it. Getting the cable end into the handle was easy to follow because it's in your video. Since none of the other questions on here have been answered, I suspect you aren't going to tell me how to get the cable ends into the latches assemblies, so I will just thank you for the help that you did provide and look elsewhere.
Damn your fine
vid for right side door???
great job do you have a vido on the replacing the cables on the side doors??
Thank you. Unfortunately I do not.
They are almost identical.
What about the right side back door? The one with the license plate. Please make a video
Same concept.
@@WedgeGangly Thanks for your comment! I was having issues with the right door as well, thankfully I was able to get it opening again without needing any replacement parts. After examing all the cables it turned out the only problem was the right rear door handle mechanism was just sticking because the screw holding it to the door frame had rusted up, after spraying it with a generous amount of WD40 and loosening it just a touch the mechanism now resets allowing the door to open. Probably not a permanent fix but I doubt I will need to tamper with it again before I get rid of the van (it's a work fleet vechicle with 200k+ miles on it).
Seeking the same solution. Got a 98 Club Wagon and the rear barn doors do not open and there's a bench seat up against it. I can pry off the panel I think but I'm wondering about the inside door handle. Are there 2 screws that need to come out first?
AtoZ, I know this video is a year old, but could you tell me what size star bit you used?
30
You use a 27 and a 30.
@@deanaoxo Thanks, Better late than never. I eventually got the problem fixed but it was 3 vans ago!
@@ChuckDeFuque I keep thinking I have it fixed too!
YOU WILL ALDO NEED
A broken FORD.. 🎥
My 99 E350 came with a replacement side door the guy was going to replace because of dents. So far I have had no problem removing everything off the old door, except the outside door handle and its corresponding inside piece that has the heavy spring on it. Its just beating the daylights out of me how this thing is mounted and removed. If I can get it free, the whole cable assembly will just pull out. But I can't see clearly enough inside the door to see how its mounted. I am about ready to take a saws all to the old door and cut a opening big enough on the backside to see it directly.
Its an old video, but anybody ever taken apart the main door handle on the right side big door and can tell me how this thing is mounted and removed? My four letter vocabulary is increasing exponentially on this project. I almost wish I had thrown out the new door and fixed the dents in the old door at this point.
Sorry don’t own the vehicle anymore so I wouldn’t be able to tell. Let me know if you ever figured it out.
bloghitter:...If you ever figured it out, Please LMK how.. I'm a bad way and need a quick fix! I just bought a '93 Turtletop with bed bugs!!!!!... and can't get the side or back doors open to strip the "f....'n" van out. I also realize this is an old video and may have forgotten. ....I've got cable sleeves but cant get that door open.
NEEDLE NOSE PLIERS ;
Needle nose pliers, not nose needle.
Lol thanks man. Cool last name!
I thought it was funny, but really good video hero. Thanks and Lord Jesus bless
PS, I too make how to videos and I've called stuff the wrong blame thing when I knew better...... It's more funny if a viewer catching you farting LOL.
my van door latch is broken I can't open it ..or get to it from inside because it's a rv camper van the sofa is in the way
Same. Did you figure out a way to open the door without removing the trim first?
@@nathanpeters3305 no I just pulled it back and yanked on the metel rod with a needle nose the fed s string i tied to it threw the back by the sofa and just used that to pull on it
The OLD cars from the 70's n 80's never had these PROBLEMS. I had a 1986 Ford F-250 for 15-years and it NEVER had door issues. These car companies better hope I never become rich, if I ever do become rich, I will start my own car company and I will make sure everything is simple and easy to repair, or better yet, that it never breaks to begin with.
Man... can't they just make a simple dead bolt for these vehicles such as a simple dead bolt that one uses on a house door.
How do you open the side door to repair I can't get the first barn door open?
@Ernest Highsmith
Are there any cables to tug on ?
+AtoZ Repair&Install
In mine there are no cables to pull. The original owner started the project by removing the cables... but then he shut the door.
+Timothy Frank you would have to somehow pry the latch open from the inside.
what if the top latch isn't releasing
frankinstins monster hey, wondering if you ever figured this out? Having the same problem, my top latch isn’t opening. Tried to just remove the bar that it latches to but I stripped one of the screws. Can’t find where to push on that top latch to make it open :/
part # ?

Cable fell off top, can not figure out how to activate the lever. Can't break the top star bolts that hold the latching mech receiver.
My top cable is broken as well. I can't open the door.
This video assumes bottom cable is loose but does NOT address top cable broke. Simply pulling on top cable (per video) doesn't help at all.
I have the same problem.
Wondering if you ever figured this out, having the same issue
@@worldsgreatestdadatl3493 Yes. Now i can't remember what the hell i did. It was not through taking that apart though. It was simple, i remember that. Just kept at it. If i think of it, i'll come back, but i know this. When i figured it out, it was because i was looking at the problem wrong. I'm sorry i can't be of more help right now.
Problem is, it'll work for a minute nth and break again
Anyone else strip the screws and now have to extract them ? 😡😡😡
Honestly cannot see what is what because it is so filthy !
Ok,e
