2005 Ford F-150 Ignition Lock Cylinder Parts Q&A

• Q: Is it essential to replace the tailgate lock cylinder and door lock cylinders simultaneously when installing a new ignition lock cylinder on 2005 Ford F-150?

  A: The process of replacing the ignition lock cylinder requires installing new tailgate and door lock cylinders because using different keys causes unpleasant inconvenience. A new key requires the attachment of its key code onto a designated tag. The inoperative ignition lock cylinder requires removal while a new ignition lock cylinder can be assembled according to the appropriate repair package that guides the current key code integration. Proceed with the procedure by taking out the steering wheel and lower steering column shroud securing bolt. Start the procedure by moving away the ignition lock cylinder cover then detach the PATS transceiver electrical connector and eliminate the screw that anchors the PATS transceiver. A suitable tool should be used while the ignition switch is set to ON to press the locking pin which allows removal of the ignition lock cylinder. The reverse steps from removal will finish the installation process.
