Driver's side door handle

Recommended Posts

Driver's side interior door handle will not open the door when handle is pulled.

We've had to resort to rolling down the window, and grasping the exterior handle to open the driver's side door.

This is a new issue just across for 2010 Fusion Hybrid

Maybe something broke behind the door. They are known for the interior handle grab snapping off, I've replaced both of mine. You can find the handle on the web, not too expensive or go oem part. You can find videos on youtube showing how to do everything needed to remove and replace. need screwdriver, sockets and trim remover.

One problem with ford's system is that you have to pull the handle twice before the door opens.

 

Some people don't know that, and pull the handle harder, waiting for that mechanism to unlock.

Happened to mine recently. This is cheap (~$30) and relatively easy to replace. Available on Amazon and there are multiple Youtube videos. 

 

One tip-- until fixed, if you pull and hold the locking lever, the door latch will open the door.
