New video, Very informative. Just had my column tube replaced and now me 02 f250 won’t start. Skinny key no chip. Is there a wrong way to put the ignition cylinder in? Like upside down? I’m getting a crank no anti theft blinking lights.
Someone tried stealing my Excursion and distroed the ignition switch so I am unable to turn it to the on position to remove to old one. Do you have any thoughts on how to remove the bad one?
Can you remove the lock and not leave the power on? Example: remove the lock, use screwdriver to turn vehicle off, go to a parts store the next morning, get a new lock, and come back to replace? Could a screwdriver do that? And start the vehicle (without PATS) too?
I don't believe you can. The ignition has to be "on" to remove it and you obviously can't move it back to "off" after it is removed. Of course you can simply disconnect your batteries negative cable and that will kill the power to the truck to prevent the batteries from being drawn down.
Good video. Someone tried to steal my 2001 F250 super-duty and tore-up my ignition switch but failed to steal it. I’ve been trying to install a new switch but every time I install the new one the key will not release. It starts and turns off but the stays Locked in the cylinder. The new cylinder came with a “caution” warning not to rotate the key clockwise until the lock cylinder is installed into the steering column”. There is no way to insert the new cylinder without Turning the key to “ on “ position the new cylinder. Has anyone had this problem and found a solution ?
This is a good video. Did you make the programming video for this truck? I have a F-250 with a bad cylinder switch. I gotta put a new one in but don't understand how to program the truck after that to the new keys.
@@christophercostas02 I ended up drilling it out completely. If you take the top plastic off there's a cylinder about the size of a pencil, if you can pop that to come straight up, you can get the steering wheel to move but you might have to drill a bit.
I ordered a new cylinder from ford for my 03 excursion there going to rekey it with my key I already have for the truck so will it need reprogrammed or will I just be able to slap it in and start it or will they have to program it
there is a small wire that is semi circular that fits into the top of the lock sleeve. it appear to be loose and creates a battery draining short. would you know if i might be missing a containing ring to hold this wire and electrical contact in the cylinder and sleeve ?
So take off battery cable Turn in run position Press button and pull out ignition Put in new ignition in run position Replace batt cable Hope you dont need transponder programming? Any way to know about whether I need one or not before this project? 91 Lincoln Town Car Thanks
So if i ordered a lock cylinder that doesnt have a chip, your saying it should work? Or how did you reprogram a key with no chip so you truck could read it
a friend of mine started his with no key in it and now we can't get the key cylinder back in. how do you get disk in bottom of cylinder tube to realign to put new cylinder back in?
Love your video. I have a 2010 Madza 6. The ignition acts as if it has an intermittent short. When it is not working there is no power to head lights, radio, instrument panel, power locks or windows. Total electrical system shut down. Could this be the ignition switch? Help Jake from Portsmouth, VA
This video is replacing the ignition lock cylinder not the actual ignition switch. It does sound like you need an ignition switch though. Or even a loose/corroded battery cable end.
@@darlamuehlmann2263 You must force it over to ACC either by picking it over or forcing it over with a screw driver, unless you drill out the retainer pin
Sir I lost my key to my mustang 2000 and I need to move my car before they tow it for being parked long. So how do I start my car with out my key its not chiped
There shouldn’t be a pats transponder ring on a 2001. I had a 2000 Ford Excursion Limited Edition that had a chip / pats transponder ring. What model Ford do you have?
I guess you could say I didn't get the Tumblr out because I didn't remove it in one piece but I'll tell you right now whenever I was stuck in the woods and whenever a buggy pulled up I dropped the keys somewhere but before he could even bring them cuz he found them right where we got in the truck needless to say I done took a screwdriver but then barbed wire pliers and I beat that b****** guts out all I had to do was pop the very end off and then you could just push the thing forward with screwdriver
Hey man certified badass right here very helpful video for sure can you send me a link possibly to the one that you're speaking of at the end of this video that would be awesome I subscribed and liked smash that like button bro have a good one thank you
@@iPhone_tek mine ended up needing the key re coded. Something is still messed up, I took the plastic ring out of it, held on key on it and used the other key to turn the cylinder and start it. Still like that to this day, I have one key zip tied to the plastic piece under the dash
can tell by your reply that u ain’t play-n bout any title incorrectness!! The way u demanded the editing of this title and then capped off on that “NOT” like a boss should let any would be title incorrectivenessers in the future know that it ain’t happening. Thank you sir for your service and dedication to our correctiveness integrity.
@@markpuckett4880 It’s the least I can do for people looking for help and only coming up with the wrong information. It sucks dude. Disinformation. But don’t empathize with anyone whatever you do. I suppose I could do the same and I will try. Peace brother.
