Ignition Lock Cylinder: Removal
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Lincoln MKX and 2014 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Individual lock cylinders are repaired by discarding the inoperative cylinder and rebuilding a new lock cylinder using the appropriate lock repair package. The lock repair package includes a detailed instruction sheet to build the new lock to match the key cut pattern for the vehicle, thus allowing for single point replacement without needing to replace or reprogram other locks or keys.
- Remove the Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) transceiver. For additional information, refer to ANTI THEFT - PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (PATS) .
- Insert the ignition key and position the lock cylinder to the ACC position.
- Using a pick tool, press the ignition lock cylinder release pin on the underside of the ignition lock cylinder housing, while pulling the ignition key outward.
