Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to remove and replace the stock speaker in this 2005 Ford F150 and, if you are putting in aftermarket speakers, you may have to do a few extra steps. The items you'll need for this are a 6mm, 8mm and 10mm socket and ratchet with an extension; flat blade screwdriver; and a 5 1/2mm or a 7/32 socket.
Pry out on this small panel behind the door handle and then pry up on this panel. Just pull it forward, lift it up, and then push the tab on this harness and disconnect it. Pull out on this panel and pull it free, and it helps to use the flat blade screwdriver. Just kind of pry it free. Remove this 6mm bolt, these two 8mm bolts, this 10mm bolt and then these two 6mm bolts down here. We'll just fast forward as Mike does that.
Now, lift the door panel up and pull it out and then you want to pull out your door handle cable and it's easiest with a flat blade screwdriver. Just pry it out and unclip it from the door handle and your door panel is free.
Now, just remove these four 5 1/2mm or 7/32"? bolts. We'll just fast forward as Mike does that. Pull your speaker forward and out, push the tab on the harness, and disconnect it.
To replace a stock speaker or aftermarket replacement of the stock speaker, that has the same harness, just connect it, fit it back into place, and replace those four screws. To replace your door panel, just reclip the door handle cable into the door handle and then push it back into place. Make sure these clips stay into the door, and then line up the tabs on the back, and make sure the lock rod goes up the door panel, and let your harness for your window switch com up in that door panel, and then push the door panel down into place. We'll fast forward as Mike replaces all of those bolts.
Now, replace the small panel behind the door handle, reconnect your window switch, push those tabs into place and push the panel back down. Line this panel up, slide it down into the door panel and push those two clips back into place. You're all set.
