  Q: How to install a new door lock cylinder and ignition lock cylinder as a set on Ford E-250?

  A:

  A new door lock cylinder installation requires both door lock cylinder and Ignition Lock Cylinder as a set to prevent dealing with a separate key that functions only on one lock. A metal tag with the new key code number gets attached to the key after using a new key. Customers who want to fix a single lock cylinder must dispose of the defective component while creating a new one using repair packages including step-by-step guidelines for aligning the lock with current key code specifications. The first step involves removing door trim if the vehicle includes this feature before proceeding to remove the lock cylinder from all door locations. Detach the lock cylinder actuating rod and peel off the retainer together with the door lock cylinder. To access the door lock cylinder on side doors with E-Guard Cargo Protection you should first view it from below where two tabs exist that need release before removing the retainer and door lock cylinder. The procedure for rear door lock cylinder removal involves disconnection of the license plate housing screws followed by housing relocation and removal of the actuating rod and door latch cable before extracting the retainer and lock cylinder. You should follow the same procedure to replace the rear doors when the E-Guard Cargo Protection System is present but disconnect the interior door latch actuating cable and remove the door lock cylinder cover. The door installation process requires removing the speaker by disassembling its four screws then unplugging the speaker electrical connector before taking out the lock cylinder rod and its retainer and cylinder. After the removal process, follow the opposite steps to put the new lock cylinder into place.
