I took the entire interior door panel off both doors to replace the speakers in my pickup. It's not complicated. Just keep track of which screw came from where and the order in which you removed them. I provide above a link to the video I used as guidance for removing the door panels. Good luck!

@@solarpoppop9398 thanks I may give it a try.

In short, I don't know. If the door has the same pull out type retainer clip as on my 1999, the process will likely work. The retainer clip I am referring to are shown 37 seconds into the video.

Anything with a decent amount of weight you can tie a string to should work, get your MacGyver on buddy

Probably, but completing the design would require you to provide quite a bit dimensional information about the Pilot G2 refill that fits your pen. Also, you would likely consider the price prohibitively expensive unless you are looking for a dozen or more adapter kits. OPTIONAL READING: The adapter kit is not a product. I spent lots of hours gathering dimensional information about my Sheaffer pen bodies and Fisher Space Pen refills. That means making measurements to determine dimensions and then determining tolerances for those dimensions. More hours were spend trying to find materials from which an adapter could be made. That includes finding a supplier of custom springs for pens. I had to come up with processes for fabricating and assembling the parts in the brass assembly. And finally, there was purchasing the materials. I've have not, and will not, make money selling these adapter kits. I just really like my made in the U.S.A. all metal Sheaffer pen bodies and wanted to continue using them with a reliable, quality ink refill cartridge. I made few extra and made them available in case there were any other eccentric people like me out there. Surprising, there have been a few!

@@solarpoppop9398 So I replied, but I think the comment went in your spam folder cause it had an imgur link in it.

I do not now if the locks changed between 1999 and 2005, so cannot answer your question with any certainty. If the 2005 Ranger has a similar retaining clip to hold the lock mechanism in place, I would guess the process for removing and reinstalling a lock mechanism will work. As far as the gaskets being the same, I would visit the linked web site and read to see what the gasket seller claims. (I have no association with the gasket seller other than to ask if I could provide a link to the seller's site in my UA-cam video.)

@@solarpoppop9398 thanks for the quick response! I just got through opening up the door panel, which isn't necessary for the repair, but I wanted to make sure the rods and clips weren't damaged. The door lock cylinder looks identical, so I might just have to match it up with what I see online. Here in Hawaii currently, no ones carrying them. Ive searched all over. Online my only choice, which sucks, but it is what it is. Mines did not have gaskets, but I'm sure I could find something. It's fookin amazing how easy these trucks are to break into 😑 but after watching your video, and a bunch of others, I'm stoked and confident I can get this repair done without going through my insurance. Thanks for putting this video out!

Are your door lock cylinders the same as the videos? I'm trying to replace mines atm. For an 05

Hi 1968CudaGuy...thanks for sharing that you used "non-chlorinated brake cleaner" to flush the gunk out of your door lock cylinders. Glad your door locks are working again!

In short, I do not know. Send me the dimensions of a refill designed to fit your Targa pen and I will post my opinion. What is the diameter of the end of the refill the brass adapter will need to go over? What is the total length of the the refill?

If it helps to know, I too make mistakes before resorting to instructions.

Sorry, I don't know. You could "gently" start the sequence of steps outlined in the video. If what you see on your Ranger is inconsistent with what is shown in the video, stop, and put everything back the way it was.

I'm going to give it a shot on the passenger side first!

@@johnmark8576 Please let us know your results.

Julius Bankuti, thanks for sharing your opinion about WD40. My experiences with WD40 are a little different. WD40 did permit my locks to work temporary a few times, but as my video shows a combination of WD40 and graphite powder over time built up a gooey mess inside the lock mechanisms. That gooey mess is what caused the locks to eventually stop working altogether. WD40 and Liquid Wrench, plus some scrubbing with a toothbrush worked well to remore the majority of that goo from inside the lock mechanisms. These penetrating oils should then be completely removed with a solvent such as IPA or acetone. We agree WD40 (nor Liquid Wrench) should be used to lubricate a lock mechanism. My opinion, always subject to change, is nothing at all or a little dry graphite powder works best.

Thanks for kudos! The most important thing to remember about locked and unlocked is not getting locked out of your pickup while servicing the locks, which could have happened to me, but that's not your question. For the first few steps it does not matter whether the door is locked or unlocked. The lock/unlock position only helps when pulling the lock mechanism (with rod attached) out of the door and when reinstalling the lock mechanism after servicing it. My faint recollection is that I was trying to get the lock mechanism out of the door when I realized both doors were locked and both windows were rolled up. I thought to myself how irritated I would be if I got locked out of my own pickup, so I rolled down both windows and unlocked both doors. When I returned to my struggle with removing the lock mechanism, without dropping the rod down inside the door, the lock mechanism came out much more easily. That is, my recollection is that the lock mechanism is easier to remove and install when the door is in the unlocked position. It sounds as if you are going to give the process a try. Please post here your findings about which lock/unlock position(s) work best for lock mechanism removal and re-installation.

@@solarpoppop9398 I will surely post my findings. I am needing to do this for different reasons. My ranger was stolen and the passenger door and ignition cylinder were messed up. Mechanic replaced the ignition cylinder but now I have need 2 different keys , one for door, one for ignition. I "think" i may just take out the ignition cylinder and have it matched to a door key. However it does look like I will be needing to do some repair with the passenger door lock so I think this video and your direction will come in handy. It may take me a while before I am able to do this repair. but once I do I will post what i find. Thank you
