A complete right rear cargo door latch assembly with cable and rod by Tutor Auto designed to replace worn or broken rear door locks on Ford E-150, E-250 and E-350 vans built between 1992 and 2019.

It’s engineered to match common OEM part numbers so you can restore proper operation without extensive modification.

How does this replacement restore door function?

The assembly replaces the mechanical latch, cable and rod that operate the rear right cargo door, resolving sticking, incomplete latching or failure to release. Replacing all three components at once eliminates mismatch wear and restores smooth, secure operation.

• Complete assembly includes latch mechanism, connecting cable and actuator rod for a unified repair.
• Durable metal components resist wear for longer service life compared with aged parts.
• Direct-fit design minimizes adjustment and reduces installation time for experienced DIYers or technicians.

What should I check before installation?

Confirm the vehicle side and the OEM part number on your original latch to ensure compatibility. Inspect the door alignment and striker condition; severe door damage or a warped striker can affect the new latch’s performance even after replacement.

• Verify the rear passenger-side (right) cargo door application for your van model and year.
• Compare the OEM part number stamped on the old latch to the listed replacements to ensure correct fitment.
• Check door alignment, striker plate, and mounting points for damage before installing the new assembly.

How easy is installation and what comes in the package?

The Tutor Auto kit arrives as a ready-to-install right rear latch assembly with the cable and rod included, so you replace all worn linkages in one service. Basic mechanical skill and common hand tools are usually sufficient; professional installation is recommended if you’re not comfortable with door hardware.

• Package includes: 1 x right rear door latch assembly, 1 x cable, and 1 x rod.
• Designed as a direct replacement for original mounting points and linkage connections.
• Typical tools needed: screwdrivers, socket set, trim panel tools, and possibly a torque wrench.

Who is this for: This Tutor Auto rear right door latch assembly is suited for fleet owners, mechanics and van owners who need a reliable, OEM-referenced replacement for a failing rear passenger-side cargo door on Ford E-150, E-250 or E-350 vans from the listed years. It’s a practical choice when the latch, cable or rod shows wear, the door won’t stay latched, or interior/exterior handles fail to operate the door properly.
