i have all types for hammers u guys will never let it die will u

 

well took apart. cable had snapped at the door handle lever. I see how it comes off at the lever, but I can't see what is going on at the other end. do I have to take the 3 phillips screws out that hold the latching assy.

 

Yes and you need to get the baggy off of it, to access the assembly..

 

okay, that is what it looked like. how does it hook in in the latch area.

 

You'll have to turn the cable, to where the end piece will go in the hole. Once it's in the hole, straightening it will lock it in. I'm sorry I can't explain it better...

 

don't apologize, I understand, just wanted to make sure. from the picture of
the cable it looks like this

sorry that didn't look right, basically it looked like straight left to right, then up 90 degrees, then straight left to right again._|- best i could do on a computer.

 

thanks for your help emd_driver

 

FWIW, the cure for this very common problem is a new cable. Napa, Dorman have them available at your Local Parts store.

Dorman part number 924-300

If Your replacing inside door release handles, 99% of the time, its a stretched cable that is at fault.
When the cable stretches, You over compensate by pulling the handle harder, without even realizing Your doing it.

 

thanks for the part#. didn't think I would be able to get the cable locally

 

fonefiddy,
that part # is saying it won't fit my 93 f250, according to advanceauto.

 

fonefiddy,
don't understand why advance is showing that won't work for my truck.
seems like it should.

 

It will, I used them on My 93

 

My cable was stretched so before spending money I did a freebie. Should last. I removed cable from inside handle, twisted it in direction of braids taking out slack, and put it back in handle. Works like new.
