  Q: How to Install a New Door Lock Cylinder and Ensure All Locks Match the Same Key on Ford Explorer Sport?

  A: The proper installation of new lock cylinders requires you to substitute both door lock cylinders together with liftgate lock cylinders and tailgate and ignition locks as an integrated set to prevent acquiring an additional key that operates only one lock mechanism. The new key requires adding its code number to a metal tag which attaches to the key. The lock cylinder repair packages contain building instructions to create new cylinders that match the current key codes of the vehicle. Discard malfunctioning cylinders before starting construction. First dismantle the front door trim panel then raise the window to its maximum position. The first step involves pushing the watershield to the side before disconnecting the lock cylinder rod then removing the retaining clip to take out the door lock cylinder. The locking process should be performed by reversing the uninstallation sequence.
