Hi, I'm Mike Green. I'm one of the owners of 1A Auto. I want to help you save time and money repairing or maintaining your vehicle. I'm going to use my 20-plus years experience restoring and repairing cars and trucks like this to show you the correct way to install parts from 1AAuto.com. The right parts installed correctly: that's going to save you time and money. Thank you and enjoy the video.
In this video, we'll be showing you how to remove and replace the outside door handle on this 2006 Ford F-150, same as any '04 to '08. The tools you'll need to do this are some 5-10mm metric sockets with ratchet and extension . 7/32s and 5/16s work for some of those ., small flat blade screwdriver, and putty knife and a rag to protect your paint.
We're going to fast forward through removing the door panel. You can probably pick up enough here to get the job done but we do have this in a regular speed on our other videos. Basically, you've got to remove the door panel and then you can get to the outside door handle. To access the inside of the door panel, what you want to do is carefully remove your plastic. It's just stuck on by a bunch of sticky stuff. Just pull it carefully. You don't want to rip this at all because you won't be able to install it just the way it was. I remove the plastic and then I lay it out nice and flat because we don't want to get in all stuck to itself.
To access your exterior door handle, there are two bolts right here. They are covered by little plugs. I've removed one. What I recommend, to do as little damage as possible to these parts, is to work the screwdriver underneath, then into the door and then pop it. You're going to remove that 10mm screw. Now, I apologize. I didn't get a good shot of these two more 10mm bolts holding the front of the door handle on and normally, I'd take a shot of them but I hit the wrong button. You remove those 10mm nuts and go from there. You can reach right up in there, take these nuts off the rest of the way. Make sure you don't drop them. Now, once your door handle's unbolted . and notice I don't the door closed here ., you pull out the front of it and slide it forward a little bit and then you twist it and you're also kind of pushing down on it very carefully, and that actually comes right out.
Then, to put it back in. Here's your rod here, pull on it, bring it up and you can actually go this way, get that in underneath, twist it back, push it back and then in. I'll do a quick test. Now just bolt it back in. After you've bolted the door handle back in and tighten up, just make sure you got your little plugs back in. Now, we're ready to put the water shield back on. What you want to do-- there are just a few reference points here . you want to make sure we line up those reference points. Basically, you stick it into the same spot. Like taking off the door panel, we're going to just going to fast forward through putting on the water shield and then installing the door panel.
We hope this helps you out. Please think of 1A Auto for all your parts needs.

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 the exterior door handle on this 2005 Ford F150. We show you on the driver side but the passenger side is a similar procedure. However, the driver side on this vehicle does have the keyless entry buttons. The items you'll need for this are a new exterior door handle for 1AAuto.com; a 6, 8, and 10mm socket and ratchet with an extension; flat blade screwdriver; a 5.5mm or 7/32" socket; and a pair of pliers.
Start off by prying off this panel. You want to start at the bottom, work your way up to the top, and then pull it free. Then pry out this small panel behind the door handle, and then pry up on your switch pad. Pull it forward and push the tabs on each of the harnesses and disconnect them. Now, you want to remove these two 8mm bolts, this 10mm bolt, these 5.5mm or 7/32" bolts, and then these two 6mm bolts down here. We'll fast-forward as Mike removes all of those. Now pull your speaker out, and then push the tab on the harness and disconnect it. Remove this small panel, and then, using a pair of pliers, pull out the lower two of these plugs. Slide your door panel up and off. Then pry out your door handle cable and unclip it. Your door panel is free. Carefully peel back your water shield, and it can help to use a razor to help separate that adhesive.
Remove this 10mm bolt right here. Then pull that bracket aside and just push the tab on the harness and disconnect it. Set that aside. Using a flat blade screwdriver, pry open this green clip inside the door and pull the rod free. Then pry out this harness, and, up here, you want to just pry out this little clip that holds the harness in. Pry off this clip right here over the wires that go to your keyless entry pad. You can see there's a towel underneath. That way it will catch it, so it won't get lost in the door.
Your keyless entry pad is held on with two tabs on the bottom and two up top. Just pry out the bottom tab and the top tab, and then pry out the big tab on the side while applying pressure. Then you want to do the same thing on the other side of the keyless entry pad, and it will pop free. You can just pull that out and set that aside.
Now, using a flat blade screwdriver, pry out these two caps. You just want to pry in, push down, and then pry out. Then remove these two 10mm bolts and the 10mm nut right here, and then the 10mm nut up above it right there. We'll just fast-forward as Mike removes those. Move the door handle up and down while pulling out, and it will pull free. Then you can just open the handle a little bit to release that top part. Pull out this clip and push the lock cylinder out. Your door handle is freed.
On the left is the old exterior door handle. On the right is the new one from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical and they'll fit exactly the same. Pull the door handle rod out of your old door handle and push it into place in your new one. Then unclip the hook for your lock cylinder. Push your lock cylinder into your new door handle and then if it doesn't go in all the way easily just use something to help push it down. Make sure this rod goes right down in there. Make sure your buttons are in the right spot. Here I just start on the two 10mm nuts to hold the handle in place.
I'm Just reaching in with my left hand and I'm feeling to make sure that the buttons are going in evenly and just push them into place. Quick check: make sure they're in place. Now we can tighten up the nuts and put in these bolts. Now we can install those two 10mm bolts and tighten up the 10mm nuts to secure the handle.
Now replace this clip, push this harness back into place, and then put the rod back into that clip and close it. Then take that hook and push it back into place on the lock cylinder. Reconnect the harness to this bracket, line the bracket up, and replace that 10mm bolt and tighten it up.
Replace your water shield. To reconnect your door panel, just line up these lower hooks into those slots, feed your harnesses through the door, make sure that one is ready for the speaker, then re-clip your door handle cable, and then push it back into that bracket. You want to make sure you push it in all the way. Then push your door panel back into place, lining up all of those slots. You want to make sure that the lock rod is going up through this hole. Then slide the door panel down. Replace those two lower plugs. Put that small panel back into place. Reconnect your speaker and push that back into place. Then replace those two 8mm screws, the four 5.5mm or 7/32", the 10mm, and the two 6mm. Reconnect your harnesses to your switch pack. Then line up the tabs on the back and push the front down. Then line up the tabs on this panel and push it into place. Take the small panel behind the door handle and just push it back in.
Make sure this rod goes right down in there. Make sure your buttons are in the right spot.
