The bell-crank the cable pulls on was flopping in the breeze, the entire trigger mechanism was in the open position but the latch itself was frozen. I then removed the latch, flushed it with Brake-Klean and re-lubricated it. The passenger side opened easily after I soaked the bottom latch with penetrating oil. I discovered that the cable ends were all intact and the cables themselves were operable. By then both doors were jammed shut and I had to remove the inner panels to access the latches. I had the problem in my Ranger and bought the cable end kit. The problem is probably not the cable ends, but rust forming in the lower latch. Reassemble parts into the door.įorewarned is Forearmed! If the door feels like it's dragging when you open it, it is on it's way to becoming inoperable. You may need to file the slot opening to achieve a perfect fit between the bracket slot and the cable end.Ĩ) Oil and/or grease cable and latch mechanism as necessary. Gently squeeze the new end into the slot. If cable ferrule is too long to fit on, use a hacksaw to shorten it, removing length from the small diameter end.ħ) Re-install the new connector ends into the latch mechanism. If still having trouble you can gently widen the slot with a flat blade screwdriver and hammerĦ) Repeat the process for the other end. Oil and grease based lubricants can also be used to aid with insertion.

If you are having trouble sliding the cable into the slot on the ferrule, you can use a flat blade screw driver and hammer to gently tap the cable into the connector. You can check that it is in all the way by looking through the slot in the ferrule. Next push the black rubber sleeve of the cable into the ferrule, pushing it all the way in until it stops. The following tools are recommended: torx wrenches, pliers, screwdriver, hammer, drill, punch, file, utility knife, sandpaper, and hacksaw.ĥ) Slide the steel cable into the slot in the new aluminum cable ferrule, feeding the cable into the small diameter side first.

I put together this Guide to help everyone and to show how easy these kits are to install on most ford Vehicles! (The one that I always use for all my repairs can be found here: FGT Motorsport Ford Door Cable Repair Kit). The kit is pretty affordable too! Much cheaper than the latches or cables from Ford.
I got on the internet and I found that someone had made a Ford Door Cable Repair Kit that can be used to repair the door cables in a door, hatch, suicide door, third door, etc, without having to replace or remove the door latches. If you take this issue to a Ford Dealership they will tell you that you need to spend $400 on replacement door cable latches and cables which is ridiculous! When a person goes to open the door, they will lift up on the door handle and the door won't open because the plastic cable end is broken. What happens is the door cables in Ford Trucks (F-150, F-250, F-350, Ranger) and Ford Vans (F-150, F-250, F-350) have plastic ends that keep the cables fastened in the door cable latches, and these ends corrode and break over time. I've been a mechanic for many years and I've had hundreds of customers come into my shop complaining about broken Ford door cables and latches.
