Heya there, so I'm wondering if you might be able to suggest some tips for me in relation to my particular situation? I have a 1993 Ford E150 Econoline van… the rear door handle has stopped working so that I cannot open it from inside OR outside!! I want/need to fix this myself as easily and inexpensively as possible. I need to know how to get the door open to be able to get to the cables! thank you!

Awesome Great Video Thanks

Paul Govensky says:

This was a great how to video. I did manage to get the drivers side suicide door open. I think my issue on just one the handle side. The cable housing busted off and just going through the handle hole within the door frame. I can pull both the cables and they open up fine. So I'm wondering if I can just fix that portion without pulling any of the locking mechanism???

Thank you for video. I just repaired the rear and side cargo door on my Ford E250. This saved me a ton of money. The dealership quoted me around $130 to $140 for the parts per door. When I called the service department they were going to charge me over $500 per door. I can't believe the labor would be so high on just replacing the cables and latch assemblies. I made four new connectors per door and still took me less than 3 hours. Thanks!
