2004 Ford Ranger Ignition Lock Cylinder Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service a non-functional Ignition Lock Cylinder on 2004 Ford Ranger?

  A: Begin your service of a non-functional ignition switch lock cylinder by first placing front wheels directly ahead before removing the steering wheel assembly while following all safety cautions. You should start by removing the ignition lock cylinder cap. The inoperative lock cylinder requires disposal while technicians should use the lock repair package (F85Z-11582-AA) to construct a new cylinder according to the specific key code of the vehicle. Drill out both the 1/8-inch diameter retaining pin and 3/8-inch diameter hole through the ignition key slot until the cylinder comes loose from its mount. The procedure requires replacing the old ignition lock cylinder while also cleaning drill shavings from the steering column. Cutoff the bearing retainer and separate the bearing and gear after you remove every drill shaving from the steering column while inspecting for any signs of damage. Installation of the new ignition lock cylinder should be performed by following removal steps backward while testing the cylinder's operation afterward.
