Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace a rear inside door handle on this 2002 Ford Escape. It's a pretty easy procedure. You do have to remove the door panel. It requires a Phillips screwdriver and a small flat blade screwdriver.
You're going to want to start out, there is a Phillips screw down in the door hole here. Use a small flat blade screwdriver and pry out this little trap door. Just hit fast-forward here as we use a Phillips screwdriver to remove those two screws. Okay, got that out, bring this out, pull nice and firm, and get that off like that. Right in here, work your fingers underneath and pull out this panel. Then, you're just going to reach in behind and pull out firmly on the door panel. This comes out. Then, in behind, there is this little tab. You reach underneath and disconnect your window harness.
To remove your door handle here, just reach in behind and firmly pull it out. You'll want to use a flat blade screwdriver and pull with your fingers, as well as pry under the front and snap the front loose. It slides forward. Use your small screwdriver and pry your cable up. It comes out.
Just going to pull it back, and then the cable comes up and out. For reinstall, it's just the reverse. Put that down in, bring your casing. Actually, put it back down in, and then you can push that down in, pull your lock forward, bring your casing up, put that in, slide it back, and then lock it in place.
Reinstall the door panel. Reconnect your window switch. You just got to lock the clips into where they start in on both sides. Push the top right in. Fast-forward from here on out. Basically, just set all those clips. Be careful. Look back in, make sure you get the clips going into their holes before you use the back of your hand to punch them in. Then, make sure you put the bezel back on the door handle, put the two screws back in, and once you put those screws back in, then you just put that rear bezel back on, and you're all set.
