In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the passenger side front door speaker. This is a 2016 F-150. Same procedure for F-150. This does have the XLT trim, so if you have different trim levels, it may be a little bit different.

All right, before we start, always a good idea just to put the window down just in case you hit the lock switch by accident. You don't want to lock yourself out of your truck.
Start up here and sometimes you can do this by hand. The right tool is a plastic trim tool. Go in behind, pop the clips free, and you always want to pull straight out on it. Remove it. Now we're going to pull off this trim panel, and there is a little indent right here where you can fit a screwdriver through, and I force it right up and in. This is probably the most unnerving part. It takes a lot of force to pull this off, and I'm going to put my thumb here. Most of the time the thing's just going to go flying.
And then we want to remove this panel in here. You got to get into this line here, which can be difficult sometimes. You use plastic tools available at 1AAuto, make this easy and you don't mar up your interior. Pull out on the side a little bit. Get this hook in the top. You can see your two clips are there and there, and it comes up and out. Now you have a series of seven 7 millimeter screws: one up here, two here with the large washers, two here, and then there's two down below, one here, and one back here. And we're using seven millimeter socket ratchet and extension to remove these seven bolts.
Now there's a series of pins that hold the panel in, so you need to pull the panel straight out. I start up in the top corner here, because you can grab onto it easy, and again, just apply even pressure out and work your fingers down. And the panel kind of comes up and off. Your door handle, very easy. Little tab, pull it down, and pull the handle off. Then your power lock, just a tab here, push it in and down. Then your window switch, little tab here, push on it, down, and your panel's off. Four seven millimeter bolts hold the speaker in place. We'll remove those. Last one comes out.
Little tab on your harness here, push down, and disconnect the speaker. Then you'll pull the bottom out first. The speaker comes off.
Reinstall your speaker. Put the top in first, and then there's two pins go in, and then you use your four 7 millimeter screws and install. Tighten these up. You don't want to, you want to get them firm, but not too tight. Don't overtighten them. And reconnect your lead.
Just something to keep in mind, there's a large alignment pin here that goes into this hole in the front here. And reconnect your door lock, as well as your window switch. Make sure you plug it in the correct way. Then your door handle cable just goes in underneath and snaps into place. Then make sure that you push your lock button through and push the top towards the outside of the vehicle, and down on while you're kind of holding the bottom out, and then that front pin should go right in. Make sure all your other pins go in. So you should have about a quarter inch of a clearance all the way around, and then set all the pins.
Just going to reinstall my seven 7 millimeter screws. Two with the smaller washers go in the lower holes, and the two with the larger washers go up around the door pole. These ones in the door pole, you want to get nice and tight, and the smaller black ones, just tighten them up firmly. Make sure your two plastic clips are in place, two metal clips. Putting it on, just kind of looking behind, make sure the clips lineup. Tab goes into the back. Push it back a little bit just to make sure everything lines up, and it goes back on much easier than it came off. Then this one, two tabs at the bottom, make sure they go in. Lock it in place.
