Thanks! We also never found a broken part. We just pushed the rotating plate & the handle worked again! So we sprayed WD4O in there & put it all back together. Maybe in cold weather it just gets stuck when it's old?

Thx for the video. I did this today and finally I didn't replace the reinforcement. If your problem is - door doesn't open - you don't need to. Just regulate that one bar @11:01. You neet to disengage it from the reinforcement and rotate it a few times, it have a thread. Test it and it will be OK :)

You did not had to replace the handle reiforcement. What happened to your handle was the same that happened to mine. Over time, the metal springy thing you see on the part, colects dust and loses the ability to move freely. A lot of WD40 and some persuasion by hand will make it free again. Good as new. Thanks for the video bro. It helped a lot on the disasemble/ assemble process.

Just did this on the passenger side. Your most likely cause of failure is the door handle reinforcement so get that and the outside handle. Found mine had a rust bolt that snapped off in the outside handle quarter part. The bolt closest to the rear that goes through the reinforcement and into the quarter part. I would recommend getting etc weatherstripping sealant to put on the plastic shims between the actual handle and the door. I though it was the replacement screw I used not tightening enough making it appear loose. Figured this would let water in so I gently pried and shoved the sealant in. I checked the other doors and they are slightly loose as well. I imagine this is why the mechanism inside was probably getting stuck since our passenger door is rarely used. Having to pull harder puts unecessary stress on the mechanism inside. I used dry synthetic lube on the parts to hopefully prevent a future failure. As for taking the whole mechanism apart, it did not seem necessary to me. There is a little clip on top I was able to push the reinforcement off of. This allowed me to move the reinforcement around and push it off the metal arm. I slid the other one back on. Getting the entire assembly back in was a bit challenging. Did not seem to want to go in the same way I got it out. Seems you really need to get the reinforcement in first through the larger top hole and have it come back out the bottom whole. This allows the larger mechanism to go back in facing near up, then you have to rotate carefully clockwise (again I am doing this on the passenger side) until it's right side up entirely. Good luck all!

I should warn everybody that there is more than one type of actuator for any model year. Mine had electric locks and I ended up having to buy the 8 pin connector unit. There is also a 3-pin electrical connector unit. I think there might be more but I didn't pay attention because I got the one I wanted. Don't just assume any of them are the same when you buy your replacement or pull one from a junkyard. I saw guys on the Ford fanatic Forum talk about how to renovate the actuator as well if you don't want to buy anything.

I have this problem, on a 2008 four door Focus. The issue I have, is I can't see or feel the second Torx screw toward the front of the door handle reinforcement. The bottom of the metal support for the window is in the way. When I crank the window down, I can't see the screw either. I know its there someplace, but I cant get it loose. I managed to figure out all the other parts before I saw this video. My door does not have all the large access holes yours does either. I have both front doors doing this and can not get the second screw out on either. I guess I may have to remove the window and window regulator assemblies. I really don't know what else to do. This is the worst design I have ever seen for a friggen Door Handle. All the GM products I have replaced door handles and or lock cylinders, were tough as in very close tolerances for the screw holes, but at least I could get to them. My observation: THIS SUCKS!

Good video however I came here because the door wouldn't open from the inside or outside driver door. I watched this and then I went on Ford Fanatics forum online and found a thread. Actually I found two threads that dealt with how to get the darn door open. There were two guys arguing over whether to push or pull to fix this. I did both. I had the power window down because I was trying the inside and outside handle. I reached down and took the screw out from behind the handle. And then I went to an opposite door and took just the handle part off to see how it came off. Once I knew about the three that hold the cover over the handle, the same ones you take off later in your video and not earlier. I went back to the driver's side. I was able to get the rear of the three clips and then I had to really mess around it and poke around carefully to get the other two clips to let go. They were pressed against the dash when the door is closed. You might be able to just pop the rear clip and reach in with a needle nose carefully After You observe carefully. You have to be careful how you take it off the handle with the handle forced open. That's why I took the passenger side off to see how it worked before I did it on the closed door.. In my case the cable wasn't opening the door similar to yours. The Ford fanatics said that sometimes these things simultaneously lock and unlock and it messes up the actuator. I read how to push and pull on the cable on the handle and finally I lucked out and it actually open the door. Once I had the door open I made damn sure that it did not get closed again since it wasn't working to begin with! I tried to test it with the door open shutting the latch manually and using a screwdriver to pop it open. And it wouldn't open again! It was obvious the actuator was not working so then I followed your video. I figured out how to disconnect it inside without taking the outside handle out. I had already pulled the screws but I actually didn't have to pop the top part , the part on the lock and outside handle. I had to figure those stupid Clips out. A manual book would probably help you do this too. But it's a pain to get the door open. Somebody experienced can figure it out one way or another though. I didn't think I could do it and I did it. You always want to be careful on doors or you will start busting stuff that will be a pain to fix later. I lucked out getting mine open or I would have had to go pay somebody

I cut out all the filler of me trying to put it back together. Getting those rods figured out with nothing to go off of was tough. I was hoping seeing it together from a couple different angles would help.

For anyone needing to hear this, it could also be the rounded metal piece that pushes against the big flat metal piece. Mine broke all the way off. Gotta replace the entire door handle to fix it 🙄
