Buy the replacement here to fix it the right way amzn.to/3CmBbGL.
This year focus is a 2008, but many fords including the escape will be very similar, and use this same key switch. You get electric power and all dash lights come on but no crank engine. This is a quick and cheap fix to get you going again. Obviously the "right" way would be to replace the lock cylinder but it runs about $80 online depending on where you look. This should be noted that it’s just a temporary fix. Ford PN: SW6285

The size of the nuts under the steering column are *** 5.5 MM ***...he doesn't bother to mention that...good video nonetheless.

LOL I'm pretty sure the video is about how to temporarily solve the 80% of Ford focus not starting mystery , the size of socket or what type of pliers, tape etc to use that should be the least of your worries

I tried this and it worked PERFECTLY!! This is an old car with who knows how little life it has left otherwise so we weren’t wanting to invest in replacement parts for the ignition. What a golden nugget you gave us here. The hardest part was fighting with the casing to get it off without breaking anything. Otherwise, easy peasy! Thanks!

You saved me. After putting in a $54.00 switch assy on the left of the column, that didn/t fix the no crank, I found your vid. It was easy to get to and taking the tumbler assy out by turning the key to the release position. I used heat shrink tubing two layers. Bingo, worked right away. Find it hard to believe that the cam must have worn just a very small amount to cause the problem. I could start the car with the remote start but not with the key. Thanks for saving me big bucks.

Have a 08 Focus which I bought 4 years ago, had a problem with the ignition switch since I got it, would have to push in really hard to get it to start, sometimes several times before it would contact. Watched this video, what the heck, worth a try. Did it and now it works perfectly, Thanks for solving this problem for me. Another option was to install a push-button start. decided to use this option first. Great video saved a lot of grief.

Thank you so much for this hack! Praise God it worked on my 2010 Mariner. The backstory - 7 years ago I replaced the ignition switch and it fixed the problem. Fast forward to a year ago - the problem reappeared but this time replacing the ignition switch didn't fix the problem. Saw your post and gave it a try. Now it's starting on the first try. You saved me $200. I was thinking of installing a remote start to bypass the ignition.

After not putting on enough tape the first time, and looking into what it would take to replace some parts, I figured I'd put more tape on first. Second time around it was about 2" extra I had added on that I removed and voila, started perfect. Moral of the story - start with more than you think and then just trim down if you can't get it to fit back in. Thank you very much!

My car was having the exact same issue, I would turn the key, the electronics and the air would start up, but nothing, no engine no spark. I did some research and eventually I came across this video, I figured it wouldn't hurt to try so I told my dad about it. We tried everything we could think of, seeing if it was the electronics, the security code, the lock cylinder itself, and still it wouldn't start, all while I patiently waited and hoped it would work, yet still insisting that we try the tape trick I'd learned from this video. He finally went and got the electrical tape and, lo and behold, it worked like a charm! I know it's not a permanent fix and that I'll have to replace it at some point but at least my car will start on the first try now!!! Thank you so much for the information!!! It has saved me about $100, at least for now.

this is hands down best method. my Ford Escape 2009 had this issue too for a while, and it would turn on by luck for months, but it came to a point where you’d sit there for 30 min trying to turn over the engine. I changed the ignition switch, and that didn’t work. I think the only solution is to buy a new ignition switch cylinder with a new key. But if u cant buy that just yet, this will work like a charm for suuurree💯💯
