I have a 1999 ford e150 cargo van. The cable bracket for the exterior door handle has come loose (bracket looks to have a broken spot weld on it) and the cable (with bracket still attached) is dangling in the door cavity. I cannot find where the bracket would have been mounted, nor where the cable's ball end would connect. I intend to bore out weld and put bolt in it's place, if I can find where it does attach. I went to the Ford dealership (who volunteered to give me a copy of the diagram for the assembly) but found I had the wrong diagram when I got home.

Here is picture of what I can get for you. The ball goes in the latch which is shown and the other piece may have broken off the latch you'll have to pull it off to see. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
