Removal and Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
When a new lock cylinder is installed, the tailgate lock cylinder, door lock cylinders and the ignition lock cylinder should be installed as a set. This eliminates carrying an extra key which fits only 1 lock. If a new key is to be used, the new key code is attached to a tag.
NOTE:
The Individual door lock cylinders are repaired by discarding the inoperative lock cylinder and building a new lock cylinder using the appropriate lock repair package. The lock repair package includes a detailed instruction sheet to build a new lock cylinder to the current key code of the vehicle.
- Remove the tailgate release handle. For additional information, refer to TAILGATE RELEASE HANDLE .
- Remove retaining clip and the tailgate lock cylinder.
- To install, reverse the removal procedure.
