How to Service and Repair the Ignition Lock Cylinder on Ford Thunderbird?

The ignition lock cylinder repair process begins with disconnecting the battery ground cable and waiting for one minute to allow the restraint system back up power supply to exhaust. First detach the steering column opening cover through its bolt removal and then disconnect the electrical connector before removing the cover. First remove every bolt and the hood release handle assembly then remove the bolt which attaches the heater duct. The next step involves unbolting the steering column opening cover reinforcement. Place the ignition switch at RUN then push the tab on the ignition lock cylinder with a small flat-blade screwdriver to unlock the lock cylinder. Perform the installation by following the removal steps in reverse order while testing that the ignition lock cylinder works properly.
