Ignition Lock Cylinder - Functional: Removal

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford RV Cutaway, 2004 Ford Econoline, 2004 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2004 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: When a new lock cylinder is installed, the door lock cylinder and ignition lock cylinder should be installed as a set. This eliminates carrying and extra key which will fit only one lock. If a new key is used, the new key code number is stamped on a metal tag attached to the key.
  1. Disconnect the battery. For additional information, refer to BATTERY, MOUNTING AND CABLES .
  2. Remove the ignition switch lock cylinder.
    1. Turn the ignition to the ON position.
