Usually, what happens is the plastic end of the cable housing breaks and the cable can't pull the latch. Don't buy the replacement cables from Ford. You'll be wasting your money because they will break again.

Watch this video about how to repair cheaply.

This is what I used

These guys will fix the broken ends. The first door takes about 20 minutes. The second one takes about 10.
