2008 Ford Ranger Door Lock Cylinder Parts Q&A

• Q: How to install a new door lock cylinder and ensure it matches the key code on 2008 Ford Ranger?

  A: Both door lock and ignition lock cylinders need to be replaced together because failing to do so will result in the inconvenience of possessing a key that operates exclusively one lock type. A new key code number receives a stamp placed on a metal tag which gets attached to the key. When repairing single lock cylinders you should dispose of the failed equipment while creating a new unit using a specific lock repair kit that provides step-by-step guidelines for the replacement. Start the door lock cylinder replacement process by lifting the front window before you remove the front door trim panel and position away the watershield. Begin with disconnecting the front door lock cylinder actuating rod from the door lock cylinder lever followed by removing the door lock cylinder retainer before taking out the door lock cylinder. Finish the lock installation by doing the installation process in the opposite direction of removal.
