Your video was just what I needed to get the job done. I found the cable sheath end set of 4 on Amazon for $10. I got lucky and only had to repair the handle cables. Thank you!
Thank you SO much for taking the time to film this specific video with good videography! Seeing the little stuff you did was super helpful in understanding what to do with the clip ins. Much good energy and karma being sent through the internet to you sir!
Let me tell you I'd kiss you on the mouth for this video! I had over a 100 bucks worth of stuff in my Amazon cart until I came across this video. Thank you!
Thanks so much for this video! At first I thought oh man, so long and verbose but I am glad I stuck it through 'cause you were thorough and showed me the exact "thing" I needed to know regarding that one differently shaped "head" on one of those aluminum clips and what I was supposed to do with it. I was about to throw in the towel or start prying and bending things out of the way to make it work. You saved my butt man, thank you! I actually didn't even have to remove the top latching mechanism off the door to be able to fit in the aluminum cable end and saved myself some work there. Do not make the mistake I made and try to "make it work with a T25 Torx bit"...that backfired and I stripped the head of those aluminum screws used to attach the latch to the door frame.
Good information! Well done video. I had the same problem with my 2000 XLT Ranger. I didn’t know about the things on line but I made my own and they were identical to what you bought on line. Purely coincidence. But they solved my issue.
Best how to repair Ranger door handle/ cable on you tube. Ranger in video was a 99 mine is a 2007 and it was exactly like the 99 so I guess not many changes in the door over the years. I ordered my aluminum ends from George Klammer and I will not give info because I do not recommend him. I should have received 3 with round ends and one with a modified end. He sent me 4 with the round ends. I took a chance and filed the one to modify it to fit. I happened to see a picture on you tube so I knew what it was supposed to look like. The plastic pieces that hold the door panel on you can figure that some will break so be prepared.
Lots of good info here. I got the aluminum inserts and got it all together, but now the cable's don't function; like, they're super tight. I've had the entire locking system apart several times and can't figure out why, and the doors don't latch closed. Any suggestions?
Try hooking the end at the locking mechanism first. Leave the door half disconnected. Pull on the door handle end and see if it unlocks. Don’t close the door. If I’m not mistaken, the is a slight variation in how to of the inserts appear as compared to the other two.
I figured it out. The new Al inserts I have have a slot that was cut too small; so, the cable gets bound up and restricts movement. I have brought this to the attention of the ebay seller and already got a refund. What I can do to fix the inserts is to drill or grind them out on the latch mount end. I'll make a video.
I'm a locksmith and have to fix these type of problems all the time. Most of those pieces that break are plastic and generally cheap, if you know what to buy.
@@andrescarrizales6310 been waiting to hear locksmiths reply ,,,,,,,, i have an 07 and both doors crapped out in one week what are the odds . have you found any easy or cheap solutions ?
I use bell wire and attach it to mechanism. I get it at Lowe’s in the electrical section. Use two strands together. I use it to follow electrical wires when I wire things in my house. If I ever have to pull another wire later I have my pull through already there.
@@TOM2RN how can I attach the wire???...remember that the door is closed and what I see is a hole on top of the hinge...this latch is not the same as the other side...or something went loose...
Luis Cornieles Best bet is to start loosening the panel at the bottom and work up. The plastic bolts are long as compared to most. Take a mirror and stick it inside to see where the cable would normally fit.
