In this video we'll be replacing the inside door handle, the driver's side front, on this '98 Explorer. Pretty much the same as any '91 to '01 Explorer. Getting the door panel off on the '91 to '94 might be a little different. Only tools you'll need are regular screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver, and a putty knife and a rag to protect your paint. Okay, you want to start. Use your flat plate screwdriver, carefully pry in back here and you can see mine is already broken, but you want to be careful not to break it - right there it's kind of a weak spot. But even if do you break it, you can put it back together so it doesn't, you know people don't notice it. Pull that bezel apart. Got it off, okay. Two Phillips screws under here. Remove those Phillips screws. Back here with your screwdriver. If you want, use your rag. Pry this off. Pull it out. Okay, use your screwdriver.
This side here that has a tooth holding the harness. Just work the screwdriver under there a little bit and disconnect it. Now around the perimeter of the door panel there are some pins that hold it. So what you want to do is if you're worried about your paint, with the putty knife, wrap a towel around it. Work it in. Slide it down until you come to a stop and it's usually a pin. Pull it down further. Okay, this truck has been apart a few times, so it comes out apart easy. Once you have those pins released, then you'll want to lift up on the panel. It's in a grove here. Now in behind here, what you want to do, is this is held in. You basically want to ... there are two teeth, one there and then one back here. You press them down to release them then it slides out. On this one, press it down and then that whole assembly slides right out. Work that through and there's your door panel off. Now with your door panel off, take your door panel and you want to pull this back like that and then this handle has Phillips screws holding it. I'm not sure that there are exactly where they are supposed to be. Here, and on here.
Once you remove those screws and the handle slides forward, and when you look in behind you'll see that green clip that you'll want to pull off the rod. It comes up off the rod and then you can proceed as I show you. It comes off like that. Because on top here you can see it's all the same, it's got this nice gasket here that going to cut wind noise and wind coming in. Then you can see on the back, what commonly happens, is this is kind of a little ratchet mechanism that has teeth. The original one, you can look right in there you can see that the tooth's are broken, so when you move it nothing happens with that. So on the new one, obviously it now works correctly. So before we install, what you want to do just to make sure that this is moving correctly as it should be. So my new handle goes in on, just like I took it off and that clip goes right on top.
So now that's how it should look with that clip on top of it. So now I'm going to put the handle in. Slide it backwards, make sure everything is correct here. I'm going to tap my fist on the screwdriver. Put that back just about into place, a little firm. A little more firm. I put the screws back in. Now put this back up and it will stick on the door, it'll stick on. I'll put the door panel back on. I'm going to speed through putting the door panel back on. If you want see this in real time, just check out our other videos for door panel removal and installation on the Explorer and once you got the door panel back on you should be all set. Now you can get out of your car from the inside without rolling down the window.

In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the inside door handle on this 2005 Explorer Sport Trac, same as any '01 to '05. Tools you'll need are some various smaller metric sockets, small flat blade screwdriver, a putty knife and a rag to protect your paint, and that's all to take the door penal off, and then a Phillips screwdriver.
So, really, the hardest part about the door handle is taking the door panel off. We're kind of speeding through it here. If you want to see this in a regular motion or in detail, just check out our other videos, and you can see removing and replacing the door panel in regular speed.
To replace your door handle, you remove two Phillips screws. The handle, shake it, slip it forward, and that's connected back to the rod here, you just tilt it forward and slip it off. Okay, put it back on, same thing.

In this video we're going to show you how to remove and replace an inside door handle on this '97 Expedition, same as any 97-03 F150 and 97-02 Expedition. The tools you'll need are a regular screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver, and an 8mm or 5/16 socket and ratchet or wrench.
To remove the door panel is fairly simple. You need to remove some panels and then a couple screws. OK, I'm using a rag just to protect the paint to make sure I don't scratch and also protect the vinyl. First, up here, pull out on this little triangle and then you pull up. You can see it has two pins on the back and then a pin there. Then, again, with the rag pry up on your switch panel. Then on the switch panel, you can see all these connectors. They have a little tab here. You push on the tab and then pull. You just kind of have to work them. Then do the last one. Then the next thing is, you actually do want to take this mirror switch and you have to be careful without the rag. I'll just pry it up. It comes out and, again, there's a little tab here. Then the last part is right down here. On this light, insert your screwdriver. Actually you don't really need the rag. Put your screwdriver right here and pry the cover off. Once those panels are off there are two Phillips screws, one here and then one down here in the light right there. I'm going to remove those. The last thing you need to do is remove this little grommet around the door panel and you can just insert your screwdriver in here, pry it out a little bit, and then it comes off and around the handle. Once that's done, then, you just take the whole panel and lift up. The only thing you have to worry about is, back in here, there's a little light. You just twist and pull it out. Now your door panel is free from the vehicle.
Now you have the door panel off. With your inside door handle, most often, what happens is this big black plastic handle break. Pretty simply, this is an 8mm or a 5/16 if you're using standard sockets, and you just remove the bolt and the handle comes off. You can replace that. Now if it is your mechanism that's bad you can use your socket to press in the teeth here. That comes off and you'll probably need a wrench or a socket with a ratchet. Once that's off then the handle slides forward and comes off.
Then, obviously, to get it back on you would slide it in, put in your 8-mm, 5/16 bolt, and tighten up the bolt. Put your lock rod back in, and then your handle back on. Make sure everything works good.
Now you put your door panel back on and you're all set. Here in the interest of time we're just going to speed through putting the door panel back on. If you want to see this is a real time you can check out our other videos for the Expedition and F150 door panel, but you can probably pick up enough to get the door panel back on. Plus, once you take one off, getting it on is pretty much just a reverse of the procedure. There you go and we hope this helps you out
