Follow me as I show you step by step how to replace the passenger front door latch / lock actuator on a 2011 Ford F150 5.0 crew cab. This is found to be a common problem. The procedure requires the removal of the door panel as shown. The door lock actuator is what locks and unlocks your door electronically. If you have to manually lock and unlock your door, this may be your fix!

Thanks for this video. I just replaced the module in my truck I followed each of your steps and went very well. The only thing I did differently was to remove the switch panel.

@ShartyMcPoops 4 года назад

2 years after it’s posted, still saving lives! Mine just started working intermittently so I’ll be buying an actuator and changing it when the warm weather gets here.

@charleshaneyjr315 3 месяца назад

Doing my drivers side door this weekend on my 2010 STX Supercab. I pray my passenger side doesn't fail in the next 2 days or my truck will be as useful as a glass hammer. Your straightforward video gives me some relief regarding the process. I picked up a Dorman 937-673 Front Left unit for $123+tax Lifetime Warranty. I didn't want to go the eBay/Amazon route for fear of premature failure. They had some cheapies, but on err of caution I was quick to avoid. Tremendous thanks for making the video and to the people that create these step by step guides.

@mikepedeupe7217 5 лет назад

Thanks! I just replaced the lock on my 2014 F-150 driver side door using these instructions. The dealer wanted $350+ and I got it done for the $80 price of the part! I would not have had any idea how to do it without your video. The only difference was my door has another connection for the keyless keypad. It took me about 1.5 hours, but it could have been much faster if I didn't double and triple check everything. Keep up the great videos!

@satomijuergens1246 5 лет назад

Thank you for this excellent video. Your tremendous detail allowed me to follow along step by step while I changed out the actuator on my 2009 Ford 150 XLT. My driver's side actuator had failed. The only thing that was different for me was that I had to disconnect a rod that connects the actuator to the key hole. Once I figured that out it was just a process of following your video. Saved me a couple hundred dollars by doing it myself. Thanks again.

@ThePets4ever 3 года назад

Excellent video, just 1 question. 2012 f150, how do I get access to change a rear door actuator if the door can not be opened at all from inside or outside?

@willbenner3 3 года назад

Great video! I wish I had spent more time on the diagnosis. A broken wire can give similar symptoms to a failing actuator. Mine would work sometimes but not always. There are 4 wires on the actuator electrical connector. One should be positive all the time, one will not show power, and of the other two, one locks and the other unlocks so you would only see power on them for a moment after locking or unlocking. If you're not getting this, you probably have a bad switch or broken wire. My broken wire was about an inch from the connector in the door frame where there's a lot of stress as the door opens and closes. The boot was torn up as well. Just check things out really well before ordering the actuator.

@MadDogATCZERO 3 года назад

Good video, I used it to replace both the right side actuators about a year ago. Replaced the front drivers side today. It is a bit more difficult and since there is an extra rod to disconnect and reconnect. Also have to unplug the mirror adjustment wiring. Got it done though. Can't imagine how ever figuring it out with a video. Thanks!

@BlakeJurgensen 6 лет назад

ADVANCED LEVEL AUTO I just changed the rear driver’s side door lock on my 2014 F150 Super Crew, and it keeps showing a warning message that the door is ajar. Is that because it’s an after-market actuator (Dorman), or is there some sort of system reset needed? Also great job on this video. One handed? You are incredible. I used 2 hands and a few curse words and still had issues Tetris-ing it out of the door cavity! I could have used another hand or two!

@Mr2004MCSS 2 года назад

I just did this same repair on a 2008 Ford Focus. The door latch assembly looks identical to the Focus one. I had to go with an aftermarket one since I couldn't find a Ford one online. On the Focus, the latch assembly attaches to the door handle reinforcement which I had just replaced on this car about two weeks prior and so that rod that attaches to that pink clip that you opened comes out all together. I just pinched the retainer buttons on the other side of that pink clip so I didn't have to open that clip when replacing the latch assembly. Nice video.

@FixedByNick 3 года назад

thank you very much for the video. Everything perfect for my Ford F-150 got it done in less than an hour. My wife thanks you as well so now she doesn't have to reach through the window to open the door lol. Only thing I would add to your video is if you close the pink clip when you're trying to remove the devices makes it a little bit easier

@Billsvideos1259 4 года назад

@Bikedueder Год назад

Worked for me, and I also had that SOB door lock rod with the IMPOSSIBLE one way clip. You might want to add to make SURE the door handle rod isn't stuck behind the edge of the latch when you install the latch bolts. I had to completely unbolt it to let the latch drop enough to get the rod out in front where it belongs, and undo the IMPOSSIBLE one way door lock rod clip, AGAIN... Other than that standard tight spaces, no visibility, not enough light, etc etc....
