thank you for that detail at the end, 9 years later and youre helping focus owners like my friend everyday
Some guy in Missouri posted a video pulling the airbag and steering wheel on a obs f150 to change the lock cylinder. We spent a year one night in Misery on our way to Arizona. Thanks for posting FordTech!
Just did this today. This really works ! At first this key would not turn to the on position. It finally loosened after i sprayed WD-40 into the lock assembly. Thank you.
Once again, I have to thank you for this channel and your expertise! I PROUDLY still own my 1996 decked out, one of a kind, Conversion Ford Explorer! It’s wonderful knowing that I can check here for pointers that a Haynes manual doesn’t tell you regarding idiosyncrasies between the different years! It has over 250K miles on it and I wish I had kept it as a Collecter car. If I could find another, I’d buy it in a heartbeat! It’s interesting that when ordering the key cylinder replacement, they needed to know the exact month and date it was manufactured. Please keep posting anything else for anyone else who owns these Fords and follows you or for those who might still find your EXCELLENT shared experience and advice!🙏👏😎💕🙏❤️😎🤠!
Conversion ford explorer?? Van or truck?? I am in a 94 ford e150 conversion van 5.8L all leather absolutely mint picked up in 2017 with 18,800 miles on it. 45,000 now. I absolutely love this van.
Thank you soooooo much!!! I have a 2001 Ford Excursion and only took me 15mins and I have no experience in the automotive field! Thank you for your honesty!!!
Thanks for having a very clear, precise video. Good sound quality makes a huge difference especially when it comes to giving instructions.
I can't believe it... I just can't believe it... too many years looking and looking, spending some nice bucks on the Haynes service guide... and literally is this easy... lol!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Thank you for keeping it short and simple! You really helped me out man
Had an indicator wire break in the column and this was the key I needed to get that top half of the shroud off. Thank you!
Thanks for a short but great video! Little tips help a lot!!
your tips are very helpful, I'm a ford man from way back. I just drive it, keep up the oil changes and have very good luck with them! don't care what you drive, you take care of your car, it will take care of you! thanks for the videos!
Just want to say thank you I have literally rebuilt my 93 ford e350 completely off your videos as you as my teacher you are appreciated sir👍

Excellent video...knowing what you're trying to depress inside the access hole makes all the difference. thanks. Worked great. e
Thank you so much! You made that incredibly easy by explaining and showing the ball mechanism release. Popped right out!
TH-cam is a great source of information. you saved the day . ty for posting
Wow! What a pro, thanks for the professional easy install video!
Love your channel. I was able to fix my own passenger airbag switch that had been dinging and dinging and chiming and dinging...well you get the idea. A guy wanted 100.00 to change it out for me, but I watched your video and did it myself!! And Im just a GIRL!!! lol Thanks!!
This doesn't apply to a 1988 Ford E350 but this is a great video and I'm thankful for you putting them online for us.
I know this is an old video got dude thank you so much I’ve been trying to find a good explanation video, I had to replace the ignition switch in my 89 Marquis and had no idea what to do. Thanks so much appreciate it
Thanks for your clear & easy to understand videos, keep up the time saving good work....5 stars...
Excellent tutorial! Keep em coming.
Hey Brian - thanks for this very useful information, I will save this video since I own a Ford Windstar -
Thank you very much I love your explanations on how to do things! I don’t mean to complain but there’s too many videos out there of people giving you the full history of their truck before they show you how to do what you’re looking for! In my defense I’m an old bitter crabby old man with no patience and I don’t care to hear about everybody’s personal history on that truck !!
Being a Ford guy and owning 4 of them, I really like knowing your on TH-cam posting these great informative videos. I've learned a lot of tips and things to look out for by watching your videos and appreciate it. Keep them coming I enjoy watching them and learning from them even if I don't own the model your posting a video about.
Thanks man! it's the little stuff that makes it so much eayer!
Last time I was in there I broke my tab off to kill the ding.. this time I said I bet I don't need to take these screws out and here you are! Thanks for the 3 minute fix, I'm going back to doing nothing!
Great platform with the quick tips saved me a lot of time as it reminded me of how to do this. Which gave me time to leave a like, a comment and a thank you. As I'm not frustrated and bouncing from video to video looking for the needed info. Again, Thank You!
Thx Brian, video saved me money always helpful.
Love this. You rock.🤘😝 My boyfriend was about to rip apart the whole steering column!! Saved me from hearing all the cussing. Lol
Thank you bro u always break it down and make r life easier 💯 🙏
Thank a lot. This is exactly what I was looking for.
thanks man love videos like these.
Outstanding! Thanks for doing this little video!
Can you help I've got a a you falcon that I've got foreign objects stuck in the ignition barrel and I can't get the key in all the way,
how do I pull the ignition barrel out
Line it back up the way it came out,it only goes in one way,like a puzzle piece,put everything back together,great. But what do you do if you have no keys to turn the switch?
Drill it out and turn it with a screwdriver
Take a pocket knife and a pair of plyers and twist the ignition. You can put a screw drive run along the side to pop the ignition and install and new ignition lock cylinder they come with keys. Depending on the security your key may need programed or you can use a wire on your starter fuse under the hood.
What if you don't have a key and you lost it how do you get to switch out if you don't have a key to turn it on
How do you get the ignition switch out if you lost the key anybody know
Love the quick tips!
Seems like your the one that can explain it simply enuff.
Thanks.
Thank you Ford Man. You saved me a lot of time. You have many good vids. Don't go anywhere, we need ya!!!
Dude, you're a life saver! I work on MINI and everything is completely different. These little tips are critical in saving time for guys like me. Thank you for your knowledge. Best!
Hey, we've got a 98 Windstar and we're working on replacing the ignition lock cylinder and I have a question: the instructions we got with our cylinder say that for some models you have to detach an alarm wire from the old cylinder and attach it to the new one. Is the Windstar one of them, and am I right in that we'd have to remove the shroud on the steering column to attach that wire? Thanks in advance!
There is a little key in sense wire on there most years and a orange switch on the lock cylinder itself. If the lock is not broken the wire will stay in play while the lock cylinder is being removed.
dear sir..thanks for the nice video... i have an 2012 ford edge... and once the climate is hot.. ignition doesnt crank at all... have to wait untill its pleasent weather.... whats the problem..many thanks in advance
The best tech advice. Thanks
If my truck has an anti-theft system, is there anything I should know before I remove the ignition lock? Will something get screwed up if I remove it?
07 explorer, my seat moves back while driving, as if I pulled the key out. Wiggling the key usually makes the seat move forward again. Would a new cylinder fix this?
I had a question I'm doing this same job on my 07 crown Victoria I have the new ignition with the key but I lost my old key and I'm not able to get into the run position is there another way to get it into the room position without a key maybe using a screwdriver to turn it over to the on just so I can get the ignition out I appreciate your advice in advance
How do i disable my anti theft system on my 95 mustang cobra? I used an after market ignition cylinder and had no problems other than the chime constantly on whenever i open my door without the key in the ignition, until i changed the neg battery terminal and now i have to go thru a sequence to start it every time. thanks
Thanks! I have a 2012 F350 and would appreciate your insight on changing mine out.
Bought a 2003 crown Victoria from a tow yard with no key, I want to change the ignition how would you go about changing it in the lock position?
Any tips on removing lock cylinder from 2008 fusion? No keys are available and I would like to prevent damage to wafers. I would like to be able to re key the new ignition cylinder so the door keys will be the same. Thank you for your videos!
Thanks it helped me out, I have a 96 E150, Took me not even 5 minutes.
Many thank's Feel good saving a few Bucks doing it myself. LOL "The Job went like Clock Work"
Thanks for the update, keep up the goog work
I bought a new ignition cylinder for 1994 Ford Ranger. As I was taking it out of box 2 little pins fell out. Do you know where they go?
Thanks so much! Helped a ton!
Thank you! I have a 1987 Turbo Coupe that is being more of a Thunderturd than a Thunderbird, and you’ve helped save me a bunch of time and money!
To the Thunderbird Guy.
I can’t help but tell you the WONDERFUL MEMORIES your comments brought me back to my 1977 Thunderbird that was Playboy’s
Car of The Year! I bought it off the showroom floor in 1978. Mine was one of only 7 built at the factory that were termed “Continental“ Styling! It was SO LUXURIOUS AND people loved it and gave me many compliments and questions. It had a 351 Windsor, 4 barrel carb, and was a bullet!!! But wasn’t terrible on gas, which amazed me!
I restored it and was going to keep it off the road as a collector. Several years later I fell in love with a 40 ft 4 horse living quarters, 3 axel horse trailer that was one of a kind and fit my immediate needs, so I sold it.
A year or 2 later, I was notified that the buyer never transferred the title and it was in the impound lot. I proved my bill of sale and they said it had been trashed and headed for the crusher! It broke my heart! Thanks for helping me remember all the WONDERFUL TIMES I had with that show stopper, I never should have let go of!❤️💕♥️
See my reply to you Thunderbird Guy!
@@sheilasmith1109 up til the impound part, it’s wonderful! The 77 was a big beautiful car, and amazing to be one of only seven made that way!
I know my Turbocoupe is one of a handful with its particular options, but certainly more than one of seven…and no 351 to scoot it along. The horse trailer probably/hopefully brought you many wonderful memories as well ❤️
@@sheilasmith1109 and thank you for sharing your story, it’s nice hearing there are other car lovers out there who enjoy the quirkier facts and such :)
I have a 96 Ford f150 same like your video but my cylinder lock turns easy to the first and second decision for when it comes to starting a car it's kind of stiffy but turns the car on easily. I never had a problem turning the car on but the key on the final turn is very stiff. How can I fix this can you help me? Thank you
thank you for the video. looks simple.
Thank you this was a great video.
My ignition switch on my 11’ Ranger isn’t staying in the accessory position. Can I swap a new switch for my old one that seem late worn or broken?
What if you do not have the keys for the Ford that you are working on.
I might be buying a 1989 Ford ranger from a friend but the keys were recently stolen in a home invasion. What would be that process that I would need to follow to rekey the ignition and doors?
That was great......Is it that easy for a 2001 Ford Escape? Do I need some special scanner?
Very nice videos. Detailed and informative. I have subscribed. Thank YouI have a 2007 Ford Escape XLT 2.4 Cylinder. Home Burglarized and they also stole my ONLY Car Key. They did not Steal the car because I removed the Battery and it was in the Garage on a Trickle Charger. However I do not have ANY keys to the Car. I can get into the Car because the Doors are unlocked. I ordered from Ebay two spare PATS Keys. If I do remove the entire Key Cylinder and Purchase a New one from AutoZone, how do you get a Blank Key to Work on a New Cylinder? This part confuses me.
Hello sir. Great video. The ignition on my 02 f350 SD Diesel suddenly became really stiff to turn. I replaced the ignition cylinder with a new one, but it is still really stiff when turning the cylinder to start the truck...., Any suggestions?
Hello great video, I was able to get the lock cylinder out but the tab on the end of it broke off inside the steering column. Causing it to be stuck in run position even when the key is in the off, acc position and with the key out. So my question is how do I get the broken piece out so I can Install the new one?
Did you get an answer on how to remove that tip I've tried a magnet and it's not working
Hey my crown Vic ignition fuse blows as soon as I try to turn engine "on" I can jump start the starter but the key won't turn over the car any ideas?
Hello! what to do when key don't turn? 2000 ford focus LX sohc.
Thanks for the video. Is there anything you could do for a 2004 F 150 ignition switch? Can't find anything on that specific year and pickup models switch. Would really appreciate any help or advice and guidance. Thanks so much again. Kevin
so glad to see this vid - was at the gas station last night and the key just got stuck in the ignition, wheel wouldn't turn... i pulled the 'girl in distress' card (which by the way, i hate doing) and a gentleman at the next pump, as luck would have it, had had the same issue and did the brake, pull the wheel, jiggle jiggle which at least got me home... so assuming i need another of these, which will have to be ordered, is there a way i can keep the many key/remotes i have?? also, can i give it a couple shots of something like a dry lubricant to at least keep it going until i get a replacement?
quick question, Ive got a 99 super duty and blinkers are not woking???. hazards work, brake lights work, everything works besides turn signals? fuses are good, wires in the column are good, relay is good and clicking. any advice besides buying a Chevy would be greatly appreciated! !
Hi i got a question i have a 1995 e350 i change the key cylinder and my truck still won't turn of
I feel im doing something wrong
So what do ya do when the key doesn't want to go all the way in? My key sometimes will not fit properly and it takes time and many retries to finally hear 'something' clunk in the ignition and key slide in properly. Replace just the what....?
Great video dude..
I need a video to do this on the 2009 V6 Ford Escape. I tried this on my Escape but the 2009 Escape but it is built different, there is not a ball to press on it.
i have a 95 mustang base that the key tip has broken off inside the tumbler, and now the ignition switch just turns free, and i cannot even get the switch to the run position in order to push the little ball release mechanism to change out the cylinder. any advise? remove the entire housing? plz advise and thank you in advance of your help. JPW
So, I've got a 99 Expedition. My problem here is that the key just free turns, it won't go into any of the key positions, such as run, start, acc....can I still get the cylinder out properly without messing anything else up? Any help here would be greatly appreciated
My door locks needed replacing so I got a complete new set of door lock cylinders and new ignition cyclinder with matching keys. However, the new ignition key will not start my 2007 Ranger.. Anti-theft (car with lock indicator flashes and stays on). Now I'm using 2 different keys....one for doors and one for ignition. Anyone know how to overcome this issue?
What if I cannot turn the key into the run position? Is there a way to remove that cylinder without turning the key in the run position?
Thanks for your detailed video
new to us truck, 1995 powerstroke, ignition doesnt need key to start!,,, so does this work by just moving the key housing to run position? Can't seem to find little button to push in and cyclinder will not come loose
I lost my ford ranger keys to the ignition switch so I used a screw driver and break the lock and wasn't really able to turn it so I drilled the pinball out and that worked now I've got underneath is a bigger hole than the original pinball so it's bigger 😅 I'm wondering 🤔 if I could use jb weld? To fill in it or maybe a bolt ? Would a bolt interfere with anything like the electronics lmk
I have a 86 Ford. Is it the same method to replacing the key ignition? Or do I have to take the steering wheel off? Thanks in advance.
I am trying to replace the lock cylinder on a 1999 ford ranger. I rekeyed a new lock cylinder and when it is not in the car, it turns fine and the key works. As soon as i put in the car, however, it turns and works but i cant turn it back to the off position and release the key. any advice?
I have a question I'm having problems with this but my car is a 2008 Ford escape and it only starts with remote start but not a key could this be a bad lock cylinder or a bad ignition switch also sometimes my car will either not shutoff when the keys out or it will continue to start after I remote started it and turned it off
I have a 94 ford aerostar. The steering wheel locked in park.
My key twist when inserted. Wont turn.
Like the ignition cylinder is out of alignment. Engine runs if i can align keep once again.
TY. I have a question. My windshield wipers will on work if I am giggling the ignition lock cylinder (unless I find "the sweet spot"), does that mean the whole thing is loose? (something is loose the way I can wiggle it).
Could you please do a video on replacing a different part of ignitionine won't turn off without pulling fuel pump fuse I already replaced the cylander
Thanks very much for your video, it was great.
1996 Ford Bronco I am restoring, I did this in the process of replacing upper bearing in steering column. I get it in and then the key is basically stuck in the cylinder. It turns to all the positions except counter clockwise enough for me to remove the key.... any ideas?
I have a 1998 Mustang where when I turn over the ignition the car won't turn over. I'm not sure if it's the tumbler or ignition switch or perhaps a fuse. When I turned over the key the headlights will stay on but my windshield wipers will stop so that tells me it's not the battery or starter. Could someone tell me if it would be the tumbler or ignition switch? Thank you
What if the cam accidentally goes in backwards and you need to get it out to fix it would you turn it the opposite way then like for accessory?
Good video. I always seem to forget the pin on the cylinder lock mechanism.
Too easy , Thank You Brian !
hi I'm hoping you can help me. 98 contour. ignition lock cylinder stuck. won't turn over to ON position to remove. Do I have to replace the housing?
how do u change the battery on that particular key that's for the theft not really a remote but has a battery in it?
This helps, but my lock cylinder on my ‘98 ranger will not turn to the run position. I move the steering wheel back and forth, but she is temperamental. Any tips on how to fix that so I can replace the lock cylinder?
My ex tried to steal my expedition and damaged what I've seen referred to as the halo around the ignition that reads the chip in the key. Is there a way to bypass this problem? If I replace it will it still recognize my original key?
How about removing the ignition switch on a 1989 ford ranger, my truck got broken into, and they destroyed my switch and im having problems try to remove it so i can replace the new one
I’m curious if a locked steering wheel on a 2011 F150 but the key does turn and start the truck. Cylinder is very loose sloppy. Is that a mechanism in the cylinder that lets the steering wheel unlock. Weird thing I have had where with the key in and the Truck shut off I could move the steering wheel left right. It wasn’t locked
Thanks, I was lost on that 😅 all fixed up now
my 98 club wagon van key wont turn. The kid at the parts store is tellin me that the steering wheel has to come off to replace the ignition lock cylinder. Any thoughts would greatly be appreciated.
