Thank you. alot of the other ford videos show how to remove the key cylinder (1/2 the battle) but don't show how 2 install a new one. Thanks for showing the entire process.
I have an 87 ford and I swear it’s not going back in all the way. Someone broke into my truck and tried to steal it and ripped out my ignition. I have the new one and it looks just like the one you have, but when I try to put it in, it’s like it’s too long to fit
Sorry to hear that, if someone ripped out the ignition there might be internal damage that wouldn’t allow everything to line up properly. You might need to investigate further into the steering column. Hope it works out for you👍
Well I’m not exactly sure what the problem would be since I can’t see it, but I’d recommend you make sure the corresponding groves in the lock cylinder line up with the ignition housing just right. If you’ve done all that double check that the detent is fully depressed and if need be clean out any old factory grease that might be there. Hope that helps👍😀
I wouldn’t force anything that would end up breaking more parts in the steering column. I hate to state the obvious but if something is bound up inside you can try using some wd-40 or whatever you’d like and try inserting the key and try rotating the lock back and forth to try and unlock whatever’s bound up. Other than that you risk doing more harm than good.
Hi, I’ve never worked on a Cadillac before so I couldn’t tell you for sure, but even if the steps aren’t the same It should be the same principle. If you need more help I’m sure there’s a video out there. Good luck😀👍
I would clean out the lock cylinder the best you can. Old grease can gum things up. I would also make sure the new lock cylinder is clocked the proper way, and lined up. Hope that helps👍
Interesting, sorry to hear that. I would try to make sure there isn’t any obstructions, and if that still doesn’t work maybe it’s a defective part? Hope you figure out the problem😀👍
@zack-uq9fe so 1 you gotta hold it forward at the actuator rod with needle nose pliers that alone might work if not use a rotatory tool and file down the slots inner edges for a bit try bit by bit and eventually should go in!
So I tried this with my wife, 88 Ford XLT, F150, lariat and the cylinder didn’t go into the hole is easily and then I tried to force it in so the key broke off in the cylinder and now nothing so I gotta dig that one out and take it back is it is it supposed to slide in easily?
Sorry for the bad luck! Yup the new lock cylinder should slide right in as long as the lock cylinder lines up with everything in the lock housing. You gotta somehow remove it without damaging anything and replace it with a new one. Or if you can somehow get the old key out with some pliers perhaps that would be ideal.
That’s a tough one. You might have to end up drilling the old lock out if you cant find a way to turn the lock enough to press the lock cylinder detent.
It becomes a lot harder. You have to find a way to get the lock cylinder out without damaging the surrounding steering column. Good luck let me know how it turns out with your truck😀👍
I would take it back out and recheck everything. Make sure the detent is pressed in, and double check to see if the whole lock cylinder is oriented in the right position.
It’s possible that the lock cylinder is internally damaged, but it sounds like something else might be goin on inside the vehicle that would keep it from cranking. Hope the problem is an easy fix😀👍
Sometimes the lock just needs to be shimmied/jiggled a little before it will line back up with all the slots in the ignition. Could be that the lock cylinder itself needs to be turned ever so slightly even though the pin is already depressed. If you’d tried all that and it still won’t work it’s possible the aftermarket lock you bought could be faulty right out of the box. Good luck with it let me know how it turns out😀👍
@@myobmyob2215 yes the lock cylinder needs to be in the right position with the detent pressed in in-order to have enough clearance to fit in the ignition. Hope that helps. Let me know how it works out.👍
That’s a tough one. Unless you can unlock the key cylinder somehow you might just have to carefully drill it out so you can install a new lock cylinder in your truck
It's not your switch that's causing that, it's the rack and pinion which probably just needs some grease. That, or your actual electrical switch further down on the column is sticking or coming apart.
@@TheGooglyMan If you’re not sure where to go from there, take a second, go slow, and even watch a few other lock cylinder replacement videos just to cross your “t” and dot “i” before you move forward. You’ll get it. Good luck and let me know how it turns out.👍
Hi, it could be that the lock cylinder itself hasn’t been turned enough in the right position in order for the button to be depressed. Everything in the lock as well as the ignition has to line up just right in order to work. So try that first if it simply doesn’t work it could be that you have a factory defective part. Thanks for watching and I hope that helps. Let me know how it turns out

same problem with me like it's too big, seemingly no damage to steering column no break in shits weird as hell
My 88 ford literally doesn't have the hole to push a pick in 😂
Is it a ford truck?
@ydocproductions5593 it is, turns out I had to pull the steering wheel to access it
I can’t get my new one to slid into place all the way. Any help?
Well I’m not exactly sure what the problem would be since I can’t see it, but I’d recommend you make sure the corresponding groves in the lock cylinder line up with the ignition housing just right. If you’ve done all that double check that the detent is fully depressed and if need be clean out any old factory grease that might be there. Hope that helps👍😀
Any idea if this will interchange with other older ford/lincoln/mercury models?
I have no experience with the older models but I’m sure the same principle applies👍
@@ydocproductions5593 👍
Any good way with getting a cylinder unstuck without ripping the head off it 😅
I wouldn’t force anything that would end up breaking more parts in the steering column.

Thanks I need to do this on my 1990 F250
Glad I could help😀👍
Well I replaced that and that didn't fix the problem
Does this work for my 1990 cadillac seville?
Hi, I’ve never worked on a Cadillac before so I couldn’t tell you for sure, but even if the steps aren’t the same It should be the same principle. If you need more help I’m sure there’s a video out there. Good luck😀👍
My new one on my 89 keeps jamming and not wanting to go in all the way, any advice?
I would clean out the lock cylinder the best you can. Old grease can gum things up. I would also make sure the new lock cylinder is clocked the proper way, and lined up. Hope that helps👍
What if there is something stuck in it
I hope it works for my 1989 Ford
If it’s an “f-series” truck it should work. They make those trucks from 1987-1991. Hope it works out for ya👍
Does this work on a 84 Cadillac?
I’m not sure. Being an older vehicle the process might be similar. However don’t expect it to be an exact step per step swap like in the video.
You got the part number for that cylinder? I need that on mine and I want to make sure I got the proper part
I don’t have the part number, however you can cross reference part numbers from your local parts store👍
Mine for whatever resson willnot go in all the way even though everything seems lined up
Interesting, sorry to hear that. I would try to make sure there isn’t any obstructions, and if that still doesn’t work maybe it’s a defective part? Hope you figure out the problem😀👍
Maybe the wrong part?
How did you fix this mines doing the same
@zack-uq9fe so 1 you gotta hold it forward at the actuator rod with needle nose pliers that alone might work if not use a rotatory tool and file down the slots inner edges for a bit try bit by bit and eventually should go in!

What do I do if my key is broken I don't have the key to put in the lock cylinder but I have a new lock cylinder and keys to replace it with
That’s a tough one. You might have to end up drilling the old lock out if you cant find a way to turn the lock enough to press the lock cylinder detent.
😩 u make it look so easy. I’m just an old lady who doesn’t know cars lol. Mine won’t come out
Sometimes there is old grease gumming things up. Sometimes you also have to wiggle the lock cylinder back and forth gently to get it to come out.
@@ydocproductions5593 I did it!!! Thank u so much. My brother fixed the cylinder & now I can return the part for $250 refund. You’re the best.
Was just doing this exact thing, the new one is doing the exact same thing and I can't get it back out, it's stuck.
Interesting. It might be because of your trucks age that your lock receptacle is out of alignment with the lock cylinder.
I have this problem and had to grind down the new one to make it fit
@@TankEngineReviewsI figured that
Nice
Thank you!
I cant find the detent on mine
What make/year of vehicle is it?
will this work on a 91 F150
Yes it will. Those ford trucks from 87-91 were the same body style. Thanks for watching and good luck with your truck😀👍
Perfect example of what you do if part goes bad...what happens if you don't have the original key?
It becomes a lot harder. You have to find a way to get the lock cylinder out without damaging the surrounding steering column. Good luck let me know how it turns out with your truck😀👍
th-cam.com/video/PWG_eT1XG54/w-d-xo.html
On my new one it won't turn back to lock it into place? What do I do?
I would take it back out and recheck everything. Make sure the detent is pressed in, and double check to see if the whole lock cylinder is oriented in the right position.
I took it back out and double checked everything. Could something in the main steering column be sticking?
@@user-ot1id2iy4j It’s possible. Sometimes the grease they put in there from the factory can get gummed up and would just require a cleaning.
Would a bad one keep my car from cranking?
It’s possible that the lock cylinder is internally damaged, but it sounds like something else might be goin on inside the vehicle that would keep it from cranking. Hope the problem is an easy fix😀👍
The new one won't go in it's very tight
If it’s the right part for the truck I would clean out the ignition cylinder of any old grease that might be binding things up.
I took my old one out and now my new one won’t go back in it’s the same lock cylinder and I have the pin pushed in
Sometimes the lock just needs to be shimmied/jiggled a little before it will line back up with all the slots in the ignition. Could be that the lock cylinder itself needs to be turned ever so slightly even though the pin is already depressed.
If you’d tried all that and it still won’t work it’s possible the aftermarket lock you bought could be faulty right out of the box. Good luck with it let me know how it turns out😀👍
Did you manage to get it in?
Did you need to switch the key to run position and press the detent or was there more to it Thanks
@@myobmyob2215 yes the lock cylinder needs to be in the right position with the detent pressed in in-order to have enough clearance to fit in the ignition. Hope that helps. Let me know how it works out.👍
I don’t have the keys tho I had to get a whole new colum from the junk yard how do I do this
That’s a tough one. Unless you can unlock the key cylinder somehow you might just have to carefully drill it out so you can install a new lock cylinder in your truck
It ain't like this on today's vehicles. Some (most?) new vehicles require a dealer scanner reset just to replace a failed starting battery.
I’m glad it’s so easy to fix on my truck! Just did another one on my 97 Powerstroke the other day. Pretty easy fix👍!
Will this work on a 2001 ford f150 xlt?
Might take a little more work but it should be a similar process. Good luck😀👍
Does it work in a Lincoln town car 98?
I’m not sure, but I bet the same principle applies to your vehicle. Just go slow and take your time👍
Im not exactly sure, but I’m sure the same principle applies to your vehicle. Just go slow and take your time👍

It's not your switch that's causing that, it's the rack and pinion which probably just needs some grease. That, or your actual electrical switch further down on the column is sticking or coming apart.
You are correct inside the steering column was some old grease making the lock system all gummed up. Once I cleaned it out it worked so much better
That’s exactly what my 90 f-150 is doing
What do I do if it’s coming apart
What type of grease do you recommend using?
@@Crypto4x I used wheel bearing grease but there might be a better grease out there that would work better👍
Now do it for when you’ve lost your key.. it’s a lot harder haha
Hahaha🤣
How am I supposed to do it? Currently stuck

Are you sure you ain’t started that truck it’s dead
Turned out the internal ignition switch was all gummed up with old grease. A new ignition lock cylinder and a cleaning did the trick
Mine is stuck and won't insert all the way
The key or the lock cylinder?
@@ydocproductions5593 I was inserting a new key lock cylinder and it wouldn't go all the way in so I bumped it in now I can crank my truck

@@motorebel1674 my new cylinder won’t slide in as easy as shown in the video either, did you have to muscle it in then?

No, since you need the original key to get the first cylinder out
@@NCLIIIor a simple drill unfortunately just drill out the tumblers and a s crewdriver will start it
Hey any idea why My detent won't depress on the new lock cylinder
Hi, it could be that the lock cylinder itself hasn’t been turned enough in the right position in order for the button to be depressed. Everything in the lock as well as the ignition has to line up just right in order to work. So try that first if it simply doesn’t work it could be that you have a factory defective part. Thanks for watching and I hope that helps. Let me know how it turns out
Will this work on a 1990 Isuzu pickup
I’m not quite sure. You might want to look up a few more videos before tearing into it. The process might be similar however.
