Bumper music credit is "Fixing my Brain" by Brad Sucks, who gave me permission to use this song in a video all the way back in 2004. I finally got around to it.
Had this happen to my 2013 ford f 150 lariat. Went to a dealership and after receiving a call about a week later my truck was ready for pickup. Went to pick up my truck and was hit for a bill of $1267.00. Was told ignition key lock was bad and had to be replaced also the starter had to be replaced. Wow still in shock!
When it comes to most column work, a guy most likely needs a real mechanic. But given how Ford uses their center on the key position, a guy might get away with my fix-it. The overarching takeaway is don’t hang any weight from the ignition key as replacing an ignition cylinder is better done with a mechanic’s skill set like mine.
@MinnesotaEric so you don't have to rekey the new tumbler
Thanks for the video. Excellent information and exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks for watching!
Sometimes it’s not that key housing it’s the ignition switch on the opposite side will do the same seeing they are connected..
Just FYI, you can buy a replacement cylinder from ford (Motorcraft SW-6991 for an 09-14 F150). If you have a pair of vernier calipers, it includes instructions in the kit of how to measure your key to get the code, and then assemble using the provided springs and tumblers. A bit intricate, but very easy to do. I just did mine yesterday in less than 30 minutes. Unfortunately for me, it didn't solve my problem of a constant key-in door chime whenever I open the driver door. I'll probably have to tackle the actual ignition switch next, which looks to be really easy.
I was getting this code also. All I did was remove the ignition lock cylinder and use a screwdriver to push the 4 tabs inward that hold the outer metal ring onto the face so it is a bit tighter. It was loose and this was causing the problem. No need for any new parts.
Do you mind me asking what it was doing? Our F150 we turn the key and it stays in the cranking position still trying to crank even though it won't and normally that springs back but it doesn't now.
@@BrandiWL That sounds like a different issue. The issue described here has to do with the sensor that detects if the key is inserted or not.
Oh ok thanks. Yeah it takes our key still.
Was my exact problem. Thank you!
Awesome. I did this and it solved my problem.
Brad sucks is awesome and he's Canadian
I remember buying his first CD off of his website for $10 bucks or whatever it went for back in '03 or '04 or something like that. Fun toe-tappers!
I have the same problem but no code. Did your battery also drain?
It may have. Right around the same time I needed to replace the OEM battery.
EVERY OTHER DAY OR ABOUT 3 DAYS, CRAZY RIGHT! FULL BATTERY ONE MINUTE THEN TO LOW TO CRANK. SAME THING WITH YOU?
@@mr.jose100 hi jose what was your problem?
@@BrandiWL HELLO, I replaced the battery and sold the car. Battery was bad.
@@mr.jose100 I appreciate it.
What if the key will not turn the cylinder? How do I remove the cylinder
Push the pin in from the bottom and rotate the key. If you can start your truck, you can turn the key.
so you need a new key as well or the original key worked with the new lock cylinder?
I had my local Ford dealer key the new lock cylinder to my existing key.
I've one for you I have a friend has 03 Ford excursion same style of Ignition lock What is the process to releasing the Ignition cylinder
I'd think it may be the same with a pushpin, but I'd need to look at it or look it up in a service manual.
Mine does the same thing now. No chime and code b10f1-14.
Let's hope you can sort your problem out by simply changing out the lock cylinder.
How do you get it out of the key won’t go in
Different problem this video is when you key to lock cylinder has excessive play which can affect remote start, door chime and in future get worse. You don't want a code set on dash that you know about then you won't be able to see if another code is being set.
If you don't mind me asking , what did the dealer charge you to do the tumbler ?
As I remember it was around $60 for the part and getting it keyed. I've heard some dealers don't do keying, which is bizarre.
Pues el dice que asi y asi y asi pero no mostró el momento en que se saca el cilindro eso es lo más importante .quitar los plásticos o cubiertas del cilindro es lo de menos como quiera ayudo un 50 %
I assume you know how to press a detent to release the lock cylinder after I explain what to expect. If not, next time hold the camera for me when I need two hands to work.
@MinnesotaEric you did a great job explaining and holding Camara at the same time. I don't quite get what he's actually referring to the covers to get to the cylinder which he states is the hardest part, if that's the case he shouldn't even attempt to work on a vehicle. Nice reply to whatever problem he had with video 👍 or maybe he wants you to go do it for him as well. 🍻 cheers Eric.
Is thereany way to get it out if the key won't turn forward at all?? Thanks
Not without forcibly breaking the cylinder with a heavy screwdriver and a wrench or by using a slide hammer. How do you start your truck without the key turning?
How long did it take them to get you a cylinder keyed in
As I recall, my local Ford dealer did it in one day. Thanks for watching.
@@MinnesotaEric Which dealer did you work with? Down in the cities somewhere? Or up north?
Ryan Maas one of my local dealers up north. Any Ford dealer’s parts department can key a lock cylinder for you if you provide them a key or your key code. Thanks for watching!
@@MinnesotaEric
Yeah I just called two dealers near me (I live down in the Southwest metro), and they basically told me to get bent - really not happy people at all. I asked one of the guys about this fix that you did, and he said, "I've literally never seen that fix this problem. Not even once"... I feel like I'm banging my head against a wall talking to these service techs. Then they want $169/hr to chase down the problem. SMDH.
@@ryanmaas4030 Wow. I remember going to five metro dealers trying to simply order a truck and not being able to. Try calling Wolf Motors in Jordan. They are Ford's best selling truck dealer in the state and where I got my last truck. Just tell them you want a new key barrel keyed to your existing key and if you can drop the key off. Report on your result.
Would the truck still start
With the code? In my experience, yes, but you will have the check engine light flagging.
@@MinnesotaEric I have this code and also the code b10f1:14 and the truck does not start f250
@@alexb01909 Same general issue as covered in this video and normally caused by the weight from a bunch of keys on your truck's keyring loosening the lock cylinder over time. Worse case, you need to replace the entire lock cylinder in which case I suggest you bring your truck into your local shop unless you have mechanical skills for steering column work. Best case, swapping out out the key cylinder itself will solve your problems. There are some obscure reasons like faults in the wiring harness or instrument cluster that can cause a no-start, but those issues are uncommon. I suggest you follow my video and begin by dropping off a kew at your local Ford dealer to pin a new key cylinder for you and swapping out your old key cylinder with a new, tighter key cylinder.

@@MinnesotaEric f150 continuously turns over but doesn't start and key doesn't Spring back when letting go after trying to crank. Plus vehicle not actually starting. Googled it and said this was the problem. What's your opinion? It stranded us at the gas station and we had to get a late night tow. Now trying to figure this mess out.
@@BrandiWL If the engine cranks, but does not fire, you have something else and maybe what I cover in this video going on. You can try wiggling the key upward and forward as you crank the engine, but seemingly, the ECU is giving the starter the command to crank and either you have no fuel, no spark, or are out of time, or some sensor is lying the the ECU. I'd pull codes and go from there.
I have this code, but all my functions work properly.
A key ring full of keys is what wears the lock cylinder. I now just use the Ford key only without a keyring.
@@MinnesotaEric this excatly what happend to me.. today the car doesnt start but i guess was batery issue i end up replaceing the baterry problem solve start w/o issue... but as you show in the video there is some play and chime sounds... w/o turning the key... i used blu driver scanner and said the same code but said replaced ignition switch.instead .. do you thing is the same issue as yours??? Or its the SW-6958 Ignition Starter Switch... or maybe both??? Thanks. Btw i have not engine ligth on my dashboard
@@jaandel1 Replacing the entire lock housing is a much bigger job. The idea behind just replacing the lock cylinder is to save money in the hopes that the lock cylinder itself will tighten up the tolerances so that everything will work properly. At the very least stop carrying anything but the Ford key on that keyring as it is the weight of the extra keys is wearing the lock cylinder out.
@@jaandel1you had battery issue as well and no start will set a ign switch code. I would clear the codes after writing them down and replacing battery then se which sets 1st.
If you can help an ol KY boy out. It didn't work for me i have fuel but no spark checked all fuse and relays , got a new pats key cut and programed still crank no start. My key cylinder is doing the same thing with door buzzer. Even replaced the module on other end cylinder housing. Crank crank crank. Either way thanks for the information Merry Christmas
If you have already replaced the key cylinder, can you wiggle the key in the lock and wake everything up intermittently? If so, the lock cyclinder (which is way more involved to replace) is bad. Also take all the weight off of your ignition key and don't carry it on a keyring which is what wears these things out. If wiggling the key in the switch does nothing, I'd look at the ignition switch. See this other guy's video on that since I have not made one coving this. th-cam.com/video/qQvVCyfmKyg/w-d-xo.html
the one point you needed to record and share and you did neither,
Neat. And being helpful, you didn’t share what that point was or read any of the comments that clarify what to do.
How much did you pay for it?
I cannot remember, but not much.
Were is the little hole
Directly on the bottom of the lock cylinder.
