Thank you - wow didn’t k on thread locker was so pricey

Omg you're a life saver! Thank you! 😊 👍 I was about to take the whole mechanism apart

Thank you for the video! I had the same problem. I drilled a little hole directly out from the screw so I could get a good angle on the screw. Worked great.I agree theses plastic tabs are a horrible system.

Thank you so much for this video. I had exactly the same problem and even noticed that the screw was loose but did not realize it made such a difference. I thought that maybe the top of the ball capture assembly had broken off and it was letting the ball escape. I was researching the cost of a new assembly ($275) when I did another KZread search and ran across you video. I went out and tighten the screw and to my amazement it worked. Add blue lock-tight as well. I love the fact that KZread and people like yourself take the time to do these. Thanks

I had the same problem. Found this video. It was exactly on point. Solved the problem immediately. Very grateful! Saved me $ taking it to a garage where who knows what they would say the problem was to justify the cost. 😊

Had that problem for years. Finally figured out it was the screw. There’s no straight angle to tighten the screw due to the sheet metal. Bit of advice, drill a dime size hole in the sheet metal to allow a straight line to the screw to avoid stripping the screw head. Also, use an impact driver. Cheers.

@@Brock_Fitness shoot, I’ve never taken the screw completely out for fear of it dropping into the door cavity. You might be able to locate it with an extended magnetic. My guess, it’s a .75-1” Phillips screw. Maybe a door schematic online will show the actual part number. Best of luck!

Thanks, I have the same problem. I'm going to drill through the panel to get the screwdriver in there to tighten up the screw, instead of taking off the panels.

So needed this. Now my interior handle no longer works either. Had whole handle replaced and it failed in less than 2 months after cross country drive. It’s one of worst old Ford design flaws. Luckily I removed most interior covering in my V10 Club Wagon but still that screw takes a lot to get to which is labor charged if you went to a shop. I’ve had several mechanics flat out not even try n refer me to body shops. Stay tuned…. Let’s see if my screw is even there still. LoL. Thx for great support,simple video

Cool, you should make and sell a template where to drill the door and a rubber plug for the hole to reach in with a screwdriver.

Anyone know where the wires run into the van from the sliding door? The speaker in the sliding door used to work then stopped. So I when I replaced the new one didn't work either.

thats the exact issue mine has on the 2006 e250

What’s the size and length of that screw? I dropped mine

I need help with the INSIDE handle NOT working! Lol! I can’t find it anywhere on KZread!

I am going to attempt this today on our bands e350. Im gonna laugh if its just a screw

What would be the issue if both handles don’t open ? I removed the cover and was able to open the door by pushing a lever inside the mechanism.

Should use red lock-tite instead of blue. Red is more of a permanent type than the blue.

About a year after this fix, the latch went out again. I thought it was the screw again. However, when I opened the panel, the screw was still in place. Ended up that several plastic pieces of the latch assembly finally broke - after 23 years! I replaced the latch assembly and all is good once again.
