Review on Ford Door Latch Cable Repair Kit for F-series, E-series, Ranger, Expedition, Excursion, Navigator - Repairs Eight Cables (6 Standard + 2 LOCKING CAM) by Nate Eich

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Huge time saver and huge money saver. Ford wants over $600 to fix these doors.

Fantastic! All repairs are carried out with the removal of the inner door panels. 8 ends fix both doors, and two ends fit into the top latch without modification. It took 3 hours for the first door because I had a hard time opening the door. 1. The top latch can be opened with a long, thin screwdriver. Use a flashlight to locate the 1/4 inch diameter ball to the right of the latch. Click on this ball and the upper latch will open. 2. The bottom latch can be opened by feeling the flat lever on the outside of the latch. Pulling this lever releases the bottom latch 3. When connecting the ends to the cables, it is necessary to clean the cables of all old plastic scraps so that the outer part of the cable fits completely into the groove in the ends It is difficult for you to do this adjust the opening and closing of the latches. I didn't have to remove the bottom latch from the door, but I did have to remove the top latch assembly. To install the end and remove the cable waste. Watch a lot of YouTube videos on tailgate repair. Very helpful.
