• Q: How to Service and Repair a Non-Functional Ignition Lock Cylinder on 2009 Ford E-250?

  A: The servicing and repair of a non-functional ignition switch lock cylinder requires installation of both door lock cylinder and ignition lock cylinder together because using separate keys will result in unnecessary inconvenience. When a fresh key gets introduced into the system technicians will place the key code number on a metal tag which gets fastened to the key. Start the procedure by taking away the steering wheel followed by removing the ignition lock cylinder cap. Use a 1/8-inch diameter drill bit to remove the lock cylinder retaining pin after which a 3/8-inch diameter drill bit should penetrate the center of the ignition lock key slot until the ignition lock cylinder separates from its mount. The ignition lock cylinder should be thrown away separately from all drill shavings that developed during the steering column procedure. After removal of the bearing retainer check that all drill shavings are completely cleaned off the steering column before inspecting the column for damage and extracting the bearing together with the gear. After reversing the removal steps place a new ignition lock cylinder into the system to test the functioning of the ignition switch lock cylinder.
