  Q: How to service and repair the front Door Latch Assembly on Ford Freestyle?

  A:

  The maintenance of front door latches requires you to remove front door interior trim panel together with bolt for safely setting interior Door Handle aside. Start by exposing the watershield and following instructions to unplug the exterior mirror electrons as well as the RKE keypad and front door disarm switch electrical contacts. Before attachment put the wiring harness grommet into the door module space and rejoin the electrical connectors of the window switch and Window Regulator while positioning the front door window for glass clamp bolt accessibility. First disconnect the window regulator and window switch electrical connectors before loosening the two window glass clamp bolts while withholding the window in its upper position with tape. During the replacement process remove the circlip from the door lock cylinder and place the front door lock cylinder rod and pawl to the side before taking out the front door lock cylinder pawl from its rod. After opening the yellow clip the exterior door handle actuating rod leaves the front door latch and technicians remove the three bolts from the front door latch and perform eleven installations to set the door module aside. Touch-based disconnection of the door ajar switch and door lock actuator electrical connectors happens first followed by remote cable cover removal from the latch before installing or removing the front door latch from its bracket. Position the door disarm switch and door lock cylinder pawl on the door lock cylinder then install the circlip as a part of installation. First attach the front door latch to its bracket after linking the interior door handle cable to the latch then place the remote cable cover onto the latch. The installation of the push button rod onto the front door latch and the simultaneous wiring of the door ajar switch and door lock actuator electrical connectors completes the procedure. To install the door modulemseventeen bolts require 8 Nm (71 lb-in) torque setting after which three front door latch bolts will be tightened to 12 Nm (9 lb-ft). Install and tighten the exterior door handle along with the door latch according to specifications before attaching the exterior door handle actuating rod through the yellow clip, which should allow the rod to dangle freely to prevent misalignment. Hook the exterior door handle actuating rod to the front door latch while completing the yellow clip closure. Proceed with the front door lock cylinder actuating rod to the front door lock cylinder pawl while fastening the two window glass clamp bolts until torque reaches 8 Nm (71 lb-in). Place the window through both clamps then push the door window glass backward before securing the clamp bolts with 8 Nm (71 lb-in). The grommet carrying wiring harness needs to be inserted into the door module area while connecting all ready functions on the remote keyless entry keypad and front door disarm switch if present and exterior mirror if present too. Mount the front door interior trim panel by centering inside door handle alignment pins to the front door trim panel and tighten the interior door handle to 7 Nm (62 lb-in).
