I'd do the same thing Rich. If someone don't appreciate the things you do to help people out and learn, then they can go find the Part # themselves. What in the name of the wide world of sports do manufactures use cheap plastic on a part that gets used like a Door Handle? How Silly is that? (Cheap Junk Plastic). "O" well. Job Security for the Tech's, Inconvenience for the Customer / Car Owner. Bummer.
Knock on wood, but so far this has been the only issue we've experienced with our 140k mile 2012 Fusion. Driver door handle broke a few years ago, and just now the rear passenger (which is never even used!) handle is dangling. Don't even know if it's worth replacing with how little the car's worth at this point, but if we get the time to get around to it I appreciate the OP for the video help.
Mine just broke on my 2010 fusion. Gonna go ahead and attempt a repair on my own. Wish these handles were just made of metal to avoid this headache. Thank you for demoing how to remove the door interior
My 2010 Fusion was a super lemon and then some. They had to rebuild my 6F35 transmission twice under 10,000 miles and just never drove right. The dashboard had to be replaced because it constantly oozed some plasticide out of it. The interior driver's door handle broke as well. I liked the car but it was a constant headache.
This brought back a flood of memories. My second car was a 1980 chevy malibu sedan with the 229 V6. Rear bumper was a 2x6 piece of hickory attached to the car with L brackets, exhaust was merely a suggestion, rear door caved in, and the coup de Gras was the inside driver door handle. It broke off leaving a small stub. So I drilled a hole into the stub, and tied a piece of thick string to the stub and to the parking brake release. Voila! A functional inside driver door handle lol. Keep up the great videos rich, and be blessed
My Mercury Milan '09 door handle just did this! I was told the Ford Fusion and Milan are the same chassis so this part should work on my Mercury. Many thanks. New sub, and yep, I watched it all the way to the end! Three times! 🙂
Thanks for the video. Just replaced on my 2012 for the second time. Make sure to push the white plastic pc on the cable back into its notch or it won't lock completely. I had to take the unit back off when I realized something wasn't right.
Thanks man! You're the first one I've come across that actually showed how the handle works with the lock. Been trying to figure out how this handle/lock works before I take the door off and replace it, now I have a good idea it's the same problem instead of something further down mechanism. (2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid)
thanks for the video i just broke my door handle the same way i was going to see if my mechanic would fix it for me but i decided to look it up first and im glad i did super simple fix with simple instructions thanks again for the help!
Excellent thank you so much! These damn Fusions have sooooo many common problems! My wife has spent thousands on her 08 and every time we get it fixed something else goes wrong. Thanks for the video and the part #! Yes, I watched the whole thing! 😉💯
Plastic has it's place but not for latch releases not door pulls. Lent my 14 Fiesta to my business partner and it came back with the driver's door pull broken off. I was pretty pissed when I found out it was only sold as part of the entire panel. Be blessed Rich 👊
