Car Forum / Ford / Ford Trucks / June 2007'93 F-150 ignition lock problem
Hi all, finally bought a truck, it's a '93 F-150. A friend has a similar truck and it has the exact same problem, so I am assuming that this is a common issue. When you remove the key from the ignition, the little chrome piece with the "ears" is free to rotate independently of the lock cylinder, and if you don't align it exactly with the lock cylinder, the buzzer will sound whenever a door is open. This isn't a huge deal, but it's very annoying (and shrill) so I was wondering if there's an easy fix? thanks, nate > Hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > nate Replace the lock assembly Whitelightning On Jun 26, 4:10 pm, "Whitelightning" <white.lightni...@verizon.net> wrote: > > finally bought a truck, it's a '93 F-150.

I just bought the truck last night and haven't had a chance to get any service manuals, are any of the "aftermarket" ones any good? I consider myself a capable DIYer although I'm spoiled by working on too many Studebakers (have a full set of parts books and manuals for everything 1955-64) nate >On Jun 26, 4:10 pm, "Whitelightning" <white.lightni...@verizon.net> >wrote: [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > >nate The cylinder is easy to replace. Get your new cylinder key matched or keyed so it will match yours doors. Once you get that, the cylinder takes 5 min to chang. Turn the switch to the "ON" position. Use a small punch or phillips screwdriver and push up on the cylinder lock pin thru the access hole in the bottom of the column under the lock. Once you push the pin in, the cylinder pulls righ out. Turn the new one to the same position, slip it in the hole and turn it off - job done. Lugnut takes about 32 seconds if you know where to poke the screwdriver. If you don't, then it takes about 5 minutes.  SignatureSteve Barker > Is this an easy job, or enough of a PITA that it's worth learning to > live with it?

Since he asked, I 'sumed he's a virgin on where to poke this one without no fur.
