Just in case I purchased a complete ignition assy - your solid explanation of how to R&R made it simply easy. Without your guidance I would never had located those hidden screws, nor had the confidence to separate the assy from the plastic housing - for fear of not knowing the breaking point - total time 1.5 hrs - THANK YOU!
Great video, thanks for manufacturing that rebuilt kit. I love when parts can be salvaged by just replacing a component, small effort to avoid waste, and helps the environment. There is definitely a trick to get the new component lined up in the lock assembly and fit with the back metal piece which connects to the ignition switch, it took some struggle but finally figured it out.
Thank you so much for posting this! It literally saved me so much headaches. I ended up buying a whole new assembly but i could not find a video of anyone putting one on/off. I thought it was way more complicated only for ya to show me this was not the case!! Again thank yall!
Sorry to inform you, the first time they did it, they simply added tape to the end of your key cylinder. It is a wide known temporary fix. This is the real fix or to buy a new assembly.
Muchas Gracias ( I heard spanish in the background ) mine is a 2009 Mazda Tribute with the same exactly problem , Super explanatory video Thanks Again . ✋🏼
Thank you guys, I just got my parts last night and this video helped me TREMENDOUSLY!! I have removed everything now I need to get my ass back in there and install the new one..BUT IT IS SOOO DAMN HOT OVER HERE!!! SEND THE RAIN HERE TO PORTERVILLE, CALIFORNIA POR PLEASE!! LOL!
Nice, thanks for the informative video.. I'm so irritated with this thing I'm half tempted to pull the whole thing off to bypass it lol. But this vid helps thank you.
My escape has the problem as well or similar problem. It’s gotten very bad though and it works when I do the tape trick and wrap electrical tape around the end of the lock cylinder but it’s so bad now that it makes my car stall. I don’t have a lot of money but I’m probably just going to replace the lock cylinder and hope that it works.
I've 2016 Focus Se 2.0L Flex fuel engine and this mechanic say to check if switch is bad jump starter at its terminals ? so starter is mounted and connected just hit positive big main terminal with lil positive terminal ( which is next to it ) just like how'd you bench test it ? If it cranks it must be switch ? Doing it this way you bypass switch ? What it's been doing is weakly trying to start but almost like it just spins weakly . And yes I took it off took it to that mechanic and he bench tsted it looked good told me to put it back on try it . I did and it's not turning over . Brand new battery
I know this is late but do you Still sell these parts. Because I'm having the exact same problem. And I don't want to have to replace the whole assembly if I don't have to
Diane Kramer absolutely and thank you our website www.autosmarthouston.com any way next to the description where it says focus mariner etc there is a little down arrow
Richard Schweitzer yes the name it’s key housing actuator we send the top and the bottom part you can buy it thru our website you can go directly from here from your smartphone there’s an arrow on the right hand side and it opens the website or from desktop more info it will open the website
@@autosmarthouston5629 the actuator I see on the website... I don't mean to be dense, but I want to be clear before I purchase, I'm talking about that bolt that goes through the U shaped clamp into the cylinder housing. In other videos I've seen the head of this bolt has to be broken or chiseled off, so you can't use it again.
we don"t have any part number but if you go to our website from here there's a link it wil open directly to the part or our website www.autosmarthouston.com and go to key and accesories and you will find it thank you
Sorry for the late reply, in that case disconnect the electrical ignition switch from the back of housing and turn it back of with a screwdriver or something fits in it and if the car shut off that way , might be something inside the housing not working properly
Just FYI. They don't use a standard hex head bolts to secure the ignition assembly to the wheel column. Its a security bolt that snaps the head off while fighting it. You're forced to snap the head off or the rest of the covers will not fit. You need to use a chisel to loosen it up.
