Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and the next time you need a part for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the rear door handle on this 2005 Ford Focus. We show you on the passenger side, but the driver side is the same procedure. The items you'll need for this include a 6mm socket and ratchet, a T15 Torx bit, a pick, and a flat blade screwdriver.
This vehicle has manual windows. We'll need to remove the manual window crank first. You see, we're using a pick in there. There is a clip that holds the crank on. There's also a special tool designed for this, but you can use the pick like this. You could also actually just use a paper clip and bend it deep down in there and get that off. Then use your pick or small flat blade screwdriver and remove that panel. There are two 6mm bolts right in behind. We'll fast-forward as we remove those.
Pry out the small handle by the door handle. Behind here, there's a T15 Torx bolt. Go ahead and remove that. Lining your door panel, there's six T15 Torx bolts. We'll fast-forward as Don removes those. Pry off the triangular panel at the top of your door panel. Pull the door panel out, lift it up and over the window sill, then over the handle and it's free.
Hold the interior door handle forward, and pry up on this plastic cover. Underneath it, you can see the door handle cable. You want to just pull this straight out and your door handle is free.
To connect your new one, push the lock in. Push that back down into the door handle. Use something to make sure that you pushed all the way in. Then push that cover back down. Line up the tabs on the door handle, and push it back into the door.
Now, to replace the door panel, slide it onto your interior door handle and push it down into the window sill. Once you have that lined up, replace those two quarter-inch bolts in the pull handle. Replace your pull handle panel. Now replace the T15 behind the door handle. Put that little screw cover back in place. Next, put the clip back into your window crank and push it onto that stud. We'll fast-forward as Don replaces those six T15s that line the door panel. Push your triangular panel back in place, and you're all set.
