brought to you by 1a auto calm your
source for quality replacement parts and
the best service on the Internet in this
video we show you how to replace the
ignition lock cylinder on this Ford
Ranger the only tool you'll need is some
type of a slender tool I use a lineup
tool or a Phillips screwdriver can work
for you the adjustable wrench loosen nut
on the battery cable
then turn the battery cable and
disconnect your negative cable okay in
our Ranger our problem is that our lock
cylinder is really not offering us a
whole lot of protection here you can see
that you can rotate it back and rotate
it forward without a key in there
sometimes what I'll have it also is a
little stick and as soon as you start
feeling that stickiness you want to
replace your wok cylinder because
eventually if that if that keeps going
your box loader could get stuck in place
to get your lock cylinder out rotate it
to the run position to go this is a
punch tool or you could use a you could
use a Philips screwdriver a Philips
screwdriver is a little tougher because
it doesn't have this kind of flat end
here let you put that wrapping in and
you're going through this smaller hole
here and you can kind of feel a little
pin you push it up and the lock cylinder
coming right out okay so here's our
original lock cylinder for this 96
Ranger we do offer two different lock
cylinders here's a new one this is the
early style which is the same as what's
in our truck so that's we know what we
want and there's also the later style so
it's pretty easy to tell the difference
there's a difference in this thumb area
so now let's take your new lock cylinder
you want to rotate it so you can push
that pin in that pin goes towards the
bottom
put your lock cylinder in okay and it
locks in place
okay now you can see truck is secure
again actually requires a key start it
up
you know I want to put your new keys
obviously on your keychain okay now
reconnect your negative battery cable
and tighten it up and you should be all
set
we hope this helps you out brought to
