In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the inside door handle on this 2002 Ford Focus. The procedure is the same for a lot of the vehicles of this era. The only tools you'll need are a T20 Torx driver and a flat blade screwdriver.
To replace the inside door handle there's a screw in behind the little panel right here, and that's a T20 Torx screw. You want to remove that. Then on this panel, just lightly pry here. Then it's also locked in back here, so pull a little bit. You can pull the harness free. The power window switch is on here. There's a little tab that you can see right from this angle. Press on that tab and pull the harness connection for your power windows switch. Pull this off. We'll probably just let this hang down like that. You can probably just reach in with your hand best. Pull it out and pull it from the door, and then this can just be really easily pried up carefully with a screwdriver.
To reinstall the door handle, take our cable and put it down in first. Put those into the lock button. Take this, press it down in. Make sure it locks. There's a little slot right here that the end of the handle goes in to. Make sure we get this out of the way. Make sure the handle goes in. It snaps in there. Now we can reinstall this panel, connect the power window switch and connect the lock switch. Make sure this back part snaps in. Snap the top part in. Replace the screw.
