Drivers side door Release Cable 2019 F250

Good morning all,

I guess my truck was jealous of me fixing the driver's side window regulator on my wife's 2016 Sienna and wanted some attention... so this morning while grabbing my coffee I went to open my door and the interior door handle actuated but then went limp. The door still works using the outside door handle but the interior one won't allow the door to close.

I am assuming the hc3z15221a01f Release Cable (item 15 below) kinked or failed in somehow.




Anyone replace one of these before? How much of a pain is it on the door lock side to reinstall. The door handle itself doesn't seem bad based on the arod video below:


TIA

I see that you have not received any replies, so I will.

Six years on my garaged low mileage truck,

so I have no idea on whats wrong or how to repair,

but very curious to know what you end up doing to fix!

Hopefully an easy fix?

Actually later in the same day, the door worked again.... and then of course froze on me this morning. This leads me to believe I have a frozen door latch. Sounds like the 2017's had an issue with them and it is hit or miss on other years. Given the snow earlier in the week and then the thaw and re-freeze this week.

I could find this one that ran through April of 2018, my truck is July of 2019:

All ears if there is another one. Of course even though it only warmed up to the 20's F today. It worked when I went out this afternoon.
