are you refering to a cable to open the door if the battery goes dead? if you leave the passenger side stock and battery goes dead all you will need is the key to open the truck. the stock door latches are really a poor design. i remember the door of a 53' i was riding in as a kid flying open and being tossed out,thank god we were in a field and other than having to ride home in the back because i was covered in animal crap i wasn't hurt. were talking about a 2 ton truck with 14,000 miles on it. never leaned against a door ever again.
