Q: How to Service and Repair the Ignition Lock Cylinder on Mercury Cougar?
A: Service and repair of the ignition lock cylinder demands a starting point of steering column lower shroud removal. Customers need to purchase ignition lock cylinders from Ford/Lincoln Mercury Dealerships which correspond to their existing vehicle keys. The service begins with taking out the passive anti-theft system transceiver after disconnecting its electrical connector and securing screw. When removing the ignition lock cylinder, users must position the key to accessory mode (position 1) to depress the retainer before extracting the lock cylinder. The locking process for new lock cylinders follows the exact opposite steps compared to removal.

Q: How to Service and Repair a Non-Functional Ignition Lock Cylinder on Mercury Grand Marquis?
A: Your service of a non-functional ignition switch lock cylinder needs to start by removing the battery power source. The initial step is to take out the steering wheel before removing the tilt wheel handle and shank. The first step requires removing three screws that fix the lower steering column shroud while optionally placing the shift selector boot to the side. First, twist off the ignition lock cylinder cap followed by tab release to slide off the passive anti-theft system (PATS) transceiver from the steering column. Remove the PATS transceiver by disconnecting the electrical connector and then remove it from position. Drilling the lock cylinder retaining pin requires an 1/8-inch diameter drill bit while drilling down the ignition lock cylinder key slot needs a 3/8-inch diameter drill until it becomes loose. Following steering column debris removal discard the ignition lock cylinder and all drill waste and perform a complete cleaning of the area before checking for steering column damage. The installation process finishes after executing the reverse steps of uninstallation.
