  Q: How to install a new door lock cylinder and ignition lock cylinder as a set on Ford E-150?

  A: It is important to install the door lock cylinder together with the Ignition Lock Cylinder as a set to prevent the need for an extra key that opens only one lock. When using a new key the key code number receives a stamp on a metal tag which joins the key. Repairs of individual lock cylinders require users to discard defective parts while following the instruction sets in appropriate lock repair packages to match new components to present key codes. All lock cylinder removal starts with dismantling the door trim panel if present. You need to detach the rod that controls the cylinder lock before removing both the retainer and the door lock cylinder. When handling door lock cylinders with E-Guard Cargo Protection it is essential to view the cover from below while releasing the two tabs on the top then sliding off the cover before disassembling the retainer and cylinder. When changing a rear door lock cylinder first reverse the four screws securing the license plate housing before moving the housing out of the door path to disconnect both rods and cables followed by retainer and cylinder removal. When changing door lock components in vehicles equipped with E-Guard Cargo Protection System rear doors you must disconnect the interior door latch actuating cable first before proceeding to remove the retainer and the door lock cylinder. The speaker maintenance for sliding doors requires removal of four screws to disconnect the electrical connector of the speaker next to removing the actuating rod followed by retainer and lock cylinder removal. The installation process requires following the opposite steps of removal.
