How to Install a Lift Gate Latch

Today we're changing a rear latch on a 96 Ford Explorer. In this step, I'm going to demonstrate the proper service procedure for reinstalling our latch and attaching our release rod to the release handle. What we're going to do is slip the rod through into relative position. Pretty close to where it needs to be. We're going to take and rotate it all there. We're going to take and reinstall the release tip. What I'm going to do is take and slip the pin down inside the release handle and take and engage the interlock. Just by pushing it onto the rod itself, just like so. Give it a wiggle, make sure it's secure, right there. That is the proper service procedure for reinstalling your latch and release rod.
