Bronco graveyard charges insaine shipping. $75 bucks for some body moldings that weigh less then a pound.

@BroncosandPartsGarage Жыл бұрын

They do have a drop down menu for shipping. Not too many people know that. Call them and ask for Pat and he might be able to rectify the situation.

Okay, thank you for the video. Just did this with out drilling out the rivet. It is possible, follow the video, you don’t need to remove the wires from the door. To remove the actuator, slide in a flat head screwdriver to help in plug the restraining tab. Then pull the actuator straight back to pop it off the bracket, then unhook the metal wire thing from the top. To install it, it’s a huge hassle. First, finagle the actuator into position, and hook the top metal piece on the truck, next, pivot the actuator down and using your fingers reattach the power module. It’ll take some time. Now to pop in the actuator, I did the onboard side first, you get more leverage that way. Once you find the hole for the in board side and it pops in, you can twist it to pop in the other side. Huge PITA but saved me money, and time :)

Or…… drill out that .50 rivet and be done in a matter of seconds…… 😉

Yeah I would have if I had a rivet gun already. IT would have made it 1000X easier, and my arms wouldn't be cut up haha! Thank you for the video and motivation @@BroncosandPartsGarage

My local repair shop misdiagnosed my F150 lock problem, and already charged me a pretty hefty price to just replace the Lock/Unlock switch which did not fix the problem. I'm not a mechanic. So watching these videos it is rather shocking to me just how darn difficult Ford makes it to access and change the inaccessible actuator. Apparently my local "pro's" can't fix this, so I have to face it myself, and I lack some of those tools. Because of the labor dismantling the door, I can just imagine this running up into hundreds of dollars (more) if I have to pay someone. I would love to have old fashioned non-electric door locks.

It’s actually pretty simple.

@@BroncosandPartsGarage Well, I've watched 3 or 4 videos here on how to replace these Ford lock actuators, and each has the same rather long list of many steps that must be done to get even near the actuator which remains fairly hidden and almost inaccessible. Then things get really messy when we have to rip off the big moisture gasket, wondering if that can ever be replaced. And then there's the special tools used which most people do not have. Etc etc. You may call it simple. I call it very complicated and "iffy" that a DIY'er can do it. I found out one thing: when I presented this problem to two big local mechanic shops, neither knew how to diagnose or how to fix it! And one of these was a huge Ford dealership and service shop!

Hey Chris. I had to replace the cable from the latch to the door handle on my 95 F150. When I re assembled everything the door wouldn't open. The rear of the window track kept interfering with the linkages. I had to leave it a little loose and now it rattles sometime. Any thoughts?

@BroncosandPartsGarage 2 жыл бұрын

Did you route the cable properly. There is a specific path

@grosseileracingteam 2 жыл бұрын

@@BroncosandPartsGarage Yep, just like it came out. There's a valley in the stamping that the cable goes through so it can really only go one way. My linkages would hang up unless the window track is left loose.

@tstoneami Жыл бұрын

I'm sitting here wondering why the actuator couldn't be pried out of the bracket, so it wouldn't have to be drilled out....I've seen this mentioned before I think...thoughts appreciated.

I have large hands and arms. It was WAY easier this way. I wouldn’t recommend doing anything you’ve seen me do. Lol.

@bicdut 2 жыл бұрын

I changed my actuators because they didn't work when I first bought it. They only lasted 3 months. Did I buy crappy actuators or could there be another problem? One door is a little messed up and fills with water while the other doesn't but they both stopped working.

@BroncosandPartsGarage 2 жыл бұрын

Most of these actuators are about $20-$25. The connectors sit very low in the door. I would definitely unplug your doors so they do not hold water. Because that water is sloshing around and probably keep the inside of the door body very wet and damp. Check ur fuses and pinched wires.
