Help bring back proper open/close and lock/unlock operation to your cargo door with the Dorman door latch assembly, part number 940-691, an OE FIX upgrade built with stronger cable ends than the original latch. It fits many Ford vans, among them the 1992-2002 Ford E-150 Econoline, 1992-2000 Ford E-350 Econoline and 2002-2009 Ford E-150, and installs in the left side upper cargo door position.
When the left upper cargo door latch on certain Ford E-Series vans malfunctions or fails, it is often because one or more of the four internal cable ends in the original latch have broken. The dealer repair reuses that same original design, which invites a similar failure later on. This Dorman OE FIX part is engineered to install and operate like the factory latch while adding stronger cable ends, aimed at a more permanent repair.
- Improved design: Built to work like the original, with cable ends stronger than those in the factory part, intended to give a more permanent repair.
- Restores functionality: Engineered to help restore proper open/close and lock/unlock operation when the original latch is malfunctioning or has failed.
- Position-specific: Designed for the left side upper cargo door on the listed Ford vans.
- Trustworthy quality: Supported by a U.S.-based team of product experts and more than a century of automotive experience.
