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 tailgate cable on this 2005 Ford F150. We show you on the passenger side, but the driver side is the same procedure. The items you'll need for this include new tailgate cables from 1AAuto.com, T45 Torx bit and ratchet or a T45 Torx driver, and a flat blade screwdriver.
The bolt on each tailgate cable is a T45, and you just want to make sure that your tailgate is supported. You don't want to take one of them off, and have the other one break or something. Then your tailgate falls and it could get bent.
This is a T45 Torx bolt. On this side, use a flat blade screwdriver or your fingernails if you're not too worried about them, and you just pry that up. Pry this tab up and slide it off.
The new cable from 1A Auto, push it on. On this side, put the bolt through. The longer tab goes out so the shorter tab contacts with the cable, and then this little washer can go on. Then this long tab goes into the tailgate. Just test it out and make sure it works.
