@chrisbourgeois175 Год назад

Thanks for this Walk thru. I will be attempting this, this week. I just got a replacement door catch/actuator from a local Pick and Pull Junk yard, they charged me $25. While the junk yard did NOT have any 2012 F150's... it did have a 2014 Ford Explorer. Both vehicles use the same door latch/actuator! This morning I just tested my original catch with the use of an external power supply. It worked! So now I know I have a broken wire somewhere! Hopefully this is where its at!

@SmashingPunkFan Год назад

I'm so happy it helped! Definitely check the door jamb. That's good news on your actuator, now you have a backup 😄

@chrisbourgeois175 Год назад

I couldn't help myself, so while at work I went out and looked, and sure enough, my purple wire with a gray strip was broken at the door. I added a piece if wire temporarily. Friday, I will be rebuilding the wiring harness.

@@SmashingPunkFan Great video, thank you for taking the time to make and share. This video was very helpful. I’ve also noticed intermittent electrical ghost that effect seat, window, speaker power mentioned above. In addition to checking for broken wires in the door grommet, do any of you by chance know the ground locations I can check and clean? I know of the obvious chassis straps however are there any within the cab? Thanks again for any feedback…other electrical issues Ive had in the past were with driver side tail lights. The wires/pigtail within the rear bumper connecting to the backup camera. Evap leak p0442/the fuel pump fuse relocation…aside from that and occasional known water leak issues my 09 king ranch.

Thanks for the video! I have this same truck, same left rear door won’t lock or unlock automatically. Have you had issues with the security alarm going off frequently? Seems like this could be the problem

@SmashingPunkFan 8 месяцев назад

Hey, thanks for watching! Yes, I have had an issue with it a few times. Once, the door was saying ajar going down the road. It wasn't. And, also locking the truck and setting the alarm to on, yet the back doors didn't lock. So, opening them did trigger the alarm. All in these wires. They're a poor design, but easily fixable. Again, thank you for watching! 😊👍

@TC057 Год назад

Had a similar issue with the same harness giving me a "left door ajar" message. Broken wire as well. Now I'm having the door lock issue, so I'm sure its probably the harness again. I actually ordered a new harness from Ford. With that pinch point being what it is, I don't want too many splices in it. Any idea on how difficult it would be to change the whole harness out?

@SmashingPunkFan Год назад

Hey, thanks for watching 👍 I'm not really sure how difficult it would be. There would only be a few more connections inside the door frame like on the lock actuator itself. Those were kinda difficult to remove. I'm sure it couldn't be much harder than at this point in the video. How much did it cost you just out of curiosity?

@automan73s Год назад

Curious, why do you need to remove door panel? Can't you just repair within the door jam🤔

@SmashingPunkFan Год назад

Hey there, You could repair with the door panel in place. I removed the door panel to gain a little more room with my hands, and to pull the wiring harness backwards and out of the speaker slot to extend the length I was working on. But, I suppose you could do either way. Thank you for watching 👍

So my 2013 has the same problem and the sad thing is I've been a collision tech for 32 years and still haven't fixed it yet 🤣🤣...but now I've got a new problem...my truck will just unlock all the doors just sitting there with no key in it...I started noticing when I would go out to get in it to leave that the doors were unlocked and I definitely locked my doors and you can use the key fob to lock them back and they will just unlock again....think it's time for a new truck.

@SmashingPunkFan 11 месяцев назад

That's a true bummer lol I know the key in with engine running won't allow you to lock the doors. It will automatically unlock them. I wonder if your truck believes the key is still in the ignition... 🤔 But then again, a new truck always sounds great!

@coreydavis7810 Месяц назад

I have this EXACT same issue on my 2011 FX4 (only 37k miles). But, for some unknown reason, when this issue occurred, I also sporadically lost my factory backup camera. I can't imagine how a rear driver-side door harness could affect the backup camera simultaneously. I'm wondering whether the harnesses located under our driver seat might have similar issues... Anyone have thoughts or advice on this issue? That is, if there is no way that rear door broken wiring could impact the backup camera connection, then I would bet anything that my particular issue is a couple feet upstream beneath the driver's seat, where tons of other connections come together. Thank you to anyone who might respond!

@SmashingPunkFan Месяц назад

I honestly am not sure if they're connected. The camera going out is very common unfortunately. Mine lasted till about 375k miles, then started giving me reverse image or not at all. Hopefully someone else does have some input 🤠

I can't open my door to even do this

@SmashingPunkFan 6 месяцев назад

I had a similar situation after this repair. The dust built up so badly inside the actuator, even by hand was almost impossible to unlock by grabbing the lock post and pulling up. Once I got it open by forcing it open by pulling up the lock post (top of the door) I used WD40 and lubricated the actuator. It helped immensely.
