How to install a new ignition lock cylinder along with the luggage compartment lid lock cylinder and door lock cylinder on Ford Thunderbird?

An installation of a new ignition lock cylinder should include the replacement of both the luggage compartment lid lock cylinder and the door lock cylinder to prevent the need to carry a single-use spare key. The signal from the new key leads to stamping the key code number on a metal tag fastened to the key. When performing individual lock cylinder maintenance, workers should dispose of the faulty unit then construct a new cylinder following the directions provided in the repair package. The package includes an instruction sheet that allows technicians to create a lock cylinder matching the current key code. You must disconnect the battery ground cable before waiting one minute to let the restraint system back up power drain. The next step involves removing the steering column opening cover before eliminating the components according to their specified order. A car owner should activate the ON position on the ignition key to remove it from the vehicle. Users should employ a tiny flat-bladed screwdriver to press the ignition lock cylinder tab. Finish the installation by executing the opposite removal process.
