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 remove and reinstall a rear inside door handle on this 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis. Pretty easy task, the only tools you'll need are a Phillips screwdriver and a regular flat blade screwdriver. This is pretty much the same for any '98 to '02 Grand Marquis.
Okay, you use a flat blade screwdriver, and I'm going to carefully pry this up. Pry it up here and pull it right out. Now you'll need a Phillips screwdriver, and carefully remove these two Phillips screws. Then use your flat blade screwdriver and go right in here. You'll see a tab on the side. Pry out and pull down one side and turn it over, same thing right over here. Pry up. Now you want to use your flat blade screwdriver, pry down on the top of this bezel, and then it comes out. There are two covers here. Okay, and now there are four screws. Phillips to remove here, here and then one down here. Speed up the film here as I remove those four Phillips screws. Once those screws are out, you're going to lift up on your panel. You have to kind of shake it a little bit to get it out, and then pull your switch through. Okay and the panel comes off.
You want to carefully pull up your water shield, and then the area around the handle you probably will have to tear the little foam insulator and pull it out from around the handle. There's a Phillips screw right under here. Remove that screw, then slide your handle forward and pull it out. Then when you look behind, you'll see that it's attached to a rod, and what you want to do is kind of pull it down and then forward and off the rod like that.
Okay, for installation, it's the reverse of the procedure. Put it on, up, into place. Okay, there are two clips here, just make sure they go in right there. Push it in and back and reinstall your screw here.
Okay, put the shield back around the handle. Make sure you pull the wiring harness through and stick the shield back on as well as you can. Some extra tape or something might be in order if it doesn't stick on there really well. Put the panel back in. Make sure you feed your switch through the hole in the insulation here. The clips just go right into the door. In place, make sure that your lock button goes up and in. Push it against the door and down and on. Then, pull your switch through. Okay, and I'll speed up again as I put the 4 screws back in. The 2 longest screws are the ones that go way down in the bottom and right under the door handle and then the kind of short pan head screws go into the door pole. Fast forward again as I put the Phillips' screws in and tighten them up for the switch. We hope this helps you out.

In this video, I'm going to show you how to remove and replace an outside door handle on this 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis, same as pretty much any of these Grand Marquis as well as same as the Ford Crown Victoria. The only differences might be in how you remove the door panel. Tools you'll need are flat blade screwdriver, a Phillips screwdriver, a hammer and punch, a drill with a 3/8 inch drill bit, and a flashlight.
Start with a flat blade screwdriver and carefully pry up on your switch panel here in the front. Then we just pull back and forth and pull up with this hand and just shaking it back and forth. It comes up and out and then again with your flat blade screwdriver pry up here and take off your mirror switch, and then make sure you can move these connectors. Then there's just little tabs that lock them on. Remove that one and pry up on the other side. Pry out down here and pull out on this connector, and get it started, and pull up with my finger on this one, and we'll put it there.
Just carefully go in and there are these little caps. Pry that one out. If you go in from the bottom and you do scratch something it's more difficult to see. Then right here, put your screwdriver in up top, you can actually see a little space where the screwdriver goes and pry this bezel out. Now there are five Phillips screws to remove: one there, one there and there, one right there, and then one right down here at the bottom. Now I'm going to fast forward as I remove those five screws. They're obviously easy to remove because they're just screws, but they do and try to stay in there, so as you're pulling them out or as you're turning them counterclockwise, you might have to reach in with your fingernail and pull them out. Otherwise, just make sure that, if you can't get them out of the panel, just make sure that when you pull the panel off, if you drop them, you just recover them before you go to the next step.
Once you have those screws out, then you just lift up on the panel and bring it out. On the backside, there are two connectors. Pull back on a couple of tabs here and disconnect that. Then pull up on this tab, and disconnect that, and your door panel comes off. Carefully pull your water shield up.
You're going to come in here and up there is the back of your door handle. You can see it's riveted in, so what you want to do is right down here, you can see the clip. You can actually grab it on the other side, open up this clip and pull out your door latch rod.
Now on the outside, you're going to want to punch. Use a punch just like this and underneath the handle you'll see there are two rivets. You want to take your punch and punch out the center of those rivets. Now you can see the rivets with the centers knocked out. Now take a 3/8"� drill bit and slowly drill away the rivet. You basically know when you've gone far enough when the rivet comes off as a little ring and just sticks onto the end of your drill. Now take a screwdriver or something larger and you want to punch out the rest of the rivet. You can see the handle comes loose. Pull it down and right here is your lock. You need to . the lock has a little hook so you just jiggle it down a little bit and unhook it. Just use our screwdriver for this little piece of rivet right there. I'm going to retrieve my lock rod up in.
Here's a new handle from 1A Auto. Now you saw my old handle really wasn't broken but I'm going to install this new one anyways. You can see the nice chrome finish. It will fix the problem if you have a broken handle. The first thing you'll want to do is put the latch rod back on, hook it in place and put the handle in. You have to work the handle up. Put the handle in first and up and in place. Then take a couple of short screws and put them in place, hold those in place, and, on the backside, put a washer on and then a nut. I'll speed it up here. I'm just using a short bolts and washers and lock nuts in place of the rivets. Obviously if you had a rivet gun and the correct size rivets you could use those. I'm holding the backside with a wrench and tightening it up. The front one, again, I'm just holding the backside of the screw or the nut with a wrench and tightening it up.
We're going to go in here and there's our latch rod, make sure you open this right up. Now push the rod up as high as it goes and then push it into place. Then push our clip back on. Make sure that's unlocked, close it, and open it.
Now just put your water shield back in place. You can I just use a little tape to hold it up out of the way while I was working. Your door panel is designed with hooks on the bottom. You want to lift up your harnesses and you can see that the bottom hooks clip on, and you can put in your trunk opener. Plug that in, plug this upper plug in, lift your door panel up. Lift your door panel up, make sure that these harnesses are coming up through and then make sure your door lock comes through, lift the panel up a little bit and then it slides right down on.
I'm going to speed it up here as I put the five Phillips screws back in. The long ones go through the panel. The shorter ones go through that door pull. Just another tip, if you have trouble getting one in, you might want to take the panel back off and, on some of them, there's clips in behind and sometimes those clips can get shifted which makes it hard to get the screws in but they should pretty much go right in. Reconnect your harness leads and our mirror switch, and then just work this right down in, push it against the door and down in. This goes right in and locks in place, and these go back in place.
