Ram Door Release Cable

Door Latch Release Cables And Handle Operation

A door release cable transfers movement from a handle to the latch mechanism. The inside and outside handles can use different connections, and a cable intended for one position is not automatically the right part for the other.

A-Premium offers cables for selected front and rear doors, including single pieces and sets for both sides. Match the vehicle, door position and the handle connection specified for the part.

Matching A Door Handle Release Cable

Compare the cable ends, sheath attachment and routing with the original connection. The cable length is useful, but a matching measurement alone does not establish that the ends or mounting points will work. Some listings identify a cable for either side; others specify driver, passenger or a pair.

A cable is a mechanical connection, while a power door-lock actuator and latch are separate components. Check the selected package instead of assuming that a release cable includes a complete latch or an electrical actuator.

When A Door Handle Will Not Release

A loose handle or a door that will not open can result from a damaged cable, a cable that has come out of its mount, or a latch or linkage problem. The affected handle and how the latch responds help narrow the inspection.

Inspect the ends and the sheath seating before replacing parts. After service, check the applicable handles, latch and lock operation with the door open before relying on the repair.
