Hello to all, new member/owner of a nice 97' SuperCab 4.6L.

1st question - My third door was working fine then I got home and now it won't open. Tried disingaging by locking/unlocking main door (don't even think the back door is connected to these) and using some WD-40 on the mechanism, all with no luck. It feels the same as before when it was working. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

 

Its plastic pieces on the cables. Go to okmarketplace.com and search for doors. Youll see what I am talking about. Sorry my terms arent proper.

 

easy fix. I just did both of my back doors a few months ago

 

While searching for schematics and info came across this U-Tube video (3 part series) which I think is excellent. Followed to the tee and it works perfectly.

 

I just wired my cables a little tighter, passenger side with a zip tie, and drivers side with some metal wire.
When you remove the panel and plastic, hold some tension on the cable for top or bottom (check each one), when you get the right tension, the lock will disengage.
That is unless the plastic block that holds the end of the wire is not broken.
Took me a total of about 15 minutes to fix each one. I You Tubed F150 rear door stuck.

 

my lower cable is broken door is shut any idea how to unlatch it when its closed

 

Pull the wire for the lower latch with a pair of pliers. The videos will tell you which one.

 

It broke at the lower latch while pulling it, the door is closed, got the upper no problem the lower is a pain no room and cable broke on the latch end might need a new door after I get the torch out

 

If you do decide to cut out some of the inner door make sure you dont take the mounting points for the door panel.

A picture would work wonders here.

 

ill send one this afternoon and thanks
