How do I install the rear door rods to fix the in side door latch on a 2008 crown victoria

there should be the rods and clips inside the door if not you must go to the junk yard for the rods and the you must take off the door panel unscrew the lock mechanism at back of the door and fit the rods into the lock and the door handle then reassemble it ?????? did you check to make sure the child safety locks are not on ??? also your car may have the dark out system activated and you have to go to the dealer for that so they can reprogram the lighting control module to get the interior lights working

The location of the fuse panels should be in the owners manual.
Look under the dash on the drivers side as well as the side wall in front of the door. Some cars have another fuse panel in the engine bay.

I thought someone might have moved gas tank so I removed skid plate

...Look up "Crownvic.net" on the internet. This site is specifically for fans of the Crown Vic, and has all kinds of easy to navigate repair info. You may also type in your question and you'll probably find answers to your issues and even photos from those who have accomplished the project you have in mind. You also should check out a local auto salvage yard that has a few of your car models. Take your tools...and explore! Take off a rear door panel of The Crown P-71. Take a look at how the door control rods operate...and use your wrench to become familiar with removal and installation of parts. This is a dirt cheap education! Have fun.

the power lock in that door may have broke the rod. remove the door panel to inspect its operation and replace the necessary part. hope this helps

you need to strip off the inner door cover to see the lock its likely to be the rod that moves the lock just fell off,,,its an easy fix i bet all the parts are in the bottom of the door?
