FordTechMakuloco this is amazing!
Do these same parts go into a 2009 mariner aswell? Thanks. Did this on my 08 escape and starts perfect now!
FordTechMakuloco I just want to verify the part number. When I enter it into amazon with the garage feature it says that the part does not work with my 2008 Ford Hybrid Escape By the way your video and explanation are awesome
Is this ignition lock module the same for a 08 merc. Mariner?
I followed your link to Amazon for a module for my 2010 Escape 2.5 XLT, but the fit test on the webpage the part is a wrong for my car. please help me to find the correct part. thx.
After a $900 + parts quote from a dealer, and $300 + parts quote from an independent garage, being on a fixed income I decided to do it myself. The part cost about $100 online (OEM Ford exact match). Took me about 2.5 hours, but it all went well. Not bad for this 78 year old! This video and this gentleman are great....far better than any of the other videos or mechanics I found. Thank you for doing this and posting really good, detailed videos!
May I ask where at online did you buy it.
I would like to say by no means am I a mechanic rather I’m a building person don’t matter what it is I can build or rebuild but mechanic total mental block. Out of all the videos by far this was the most absolute detailed one I saw.
Thank you
Mike
Once again THANK YOU! For such easy to follow and understandable video content.
Invaluable to those of us who can wrench but do not earn a living at it but, want to enact our own vehicle maintenance and repair.
Few people realize the ability to fix your own stuff was one of the secret weapons that America possessed during WW2.
Most of our fighting men were rural and knew their way around a piece of equipment (Tractor, car, farm equipment) .
The Germans would just get out and walk away from equipment that simply needed the spark plugs replaced or a clogged fuel line fixed.
Not our boys.
How this skill set ever became anything to be ashamed of is beyond me.
City thinking ruins most good things it seems.
Take Care and God Bless.
I just really want to thank you! This exact part failed on me in my 2010 Escape, and I found your video. I ordered the parts you linked, and followed your video, and everything went smoothly. This video was a God-send. Thank you so much!
This is an EXCELLENT video!!! My wife's car is a 2011 Ford Escape with the exact same problem as describe in the video. To start the car, we have to perform the same procedure, again, as described in the video to start the car. A check with the local dealership for replacement cost was over $800. This video is simply priceless! Thanks to your video, I am confident that I can perform the replacement myself successfully. BIG thanks for the video. I am a fan.
I didn't know what was wrong with my 08 Escape hybrid until saw this video. I ordered the part off eBay eight months ago but I didn't install it until today.
It took me eight months to install because of this video. I learned how to start my car perfectly every time so, there was not rush. It just worked.
I installed it myself without removing the steering wheel. Once all the connections and screws are removed, turn the device to the left instead of just pulling back and part will fall off. Make sure you have a shallow 5.5 mm socket and a Dremel tool for that bolt.
Thank you for this video. After not doing much work on cars the last few years after my heart give out in 2002 and 2 years ago I fell and crushed a vertebra in my back and dont have the money to pay big amounts like they been telling me. So I got out my tools cause you never get rid of those and with Gods help just got mine done. I hurt so bad but yeah I did it. Thanks again so much you've helped me with other projects to. Oh I'm like one other comment getting the air bag out was a pain lol.
After watching your video I was able to replace my ignition switch in about 10 min. I took our 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid to the Ford Dealers Service Dept. and they had no Idea what was wrong because they couldn't replicate the no-crank no-start problem and they needed a code. I then took it to a local repair shop and they couldn't diagnose it either even though it wouldn't start in colder weather. A drop of 4 degrees from 66 to 62 would result in a no-crank no-start scenario. Being an old school mechanic, I knew I could figure it out. So after some thought about the temp making the difference I began to suspect that the sun coming in the window after a cold night was somehow affecting the ignition switch on the steering column by allowing it to expand and contract in and out of tolerance. I did a UA-cam Ford Escape Ignition Switch replacement search and found your video. I had it done in 10 minutes. Problem Solved! Thank You
Hey Archtops. What part did you use? The part this video recommends is showing incorrect by Amazon and my local parts store for my 2009 Escape Hybrid. Thanks!
@@scottburns8305 I used this part: 9L8Z-3511-A...See link to amazon below.
This is great, my neighbors car was doing exactly this I watched less than 2 minutes walked down and BAM it started right up. Showed her how it works and she's ecstatic.. Thanks for the video..
Thank you again for an excellent video tutorial. You was "bang on" as usual. Followed your instructions to a "T". What l think should have taken me 2hrs tops, took me nearly 3hrs because two things.
1. Getting the Airbag off using that "blasted" hole was a nightmare so what l did was to enlarge the hole slightly, turn the steering wheel with the hole to the right, looked into hole to locate the bar and used a larger diameter allan key to push it in and it "worked like a charm" snapped out immediately.
2. Whilst attempting to remove the steering wheel using the puller the nut kept on turning as well when i tightened it down. So i found a flat piece of metal placed it betwen the nut and the puller tigtening screw and it popped out immediately. All in all was a great job.
Thanks again for helping us poor people save so much money. Cheers!!!.
Thanks for the great How to on this one. I'm doing this to the wife's '08 Escape right now. I'm just waiting on the parts to get here to replace.
I greatly appreciate the step by step on this one. I've not had to do steering column work on the vehicle since my 1987 Chevy and there's been a ton of "New Tech" added to a steering wheel since then.
Edit: One of the easiest jobs I've had to do to the wife's 08 Escape. Only took me about 2 hours to do and part of that was, stopping to get this tool, or that tool and I also spent a good deal of time scrubbing the nasty off the steering wheel while it was off, so, maybe just over an hour of actual work time. AND, nobody in the neighborhood learned any new words...........
Thanks again for a very well put together video.
I was able to do this repair on our ‘08 today because of your hard work. Thanks so much for sharing your skills with us.
Mine starts but stays in crank mode sounding like a MOPAR starting. What's up?
This video was very helpful to my husband. He was able to follow this step by step and it fixed the problem for our Ford Escape. Thank you very much for putting the video together!!!!!
Well done video, two thumbs up 👍 👍. Shame on Ford for putting out an ignition lock module that doesn't last longer than 10 years. It's videos like this that make it possible for the rest of us to accomplish jobs that we wouldn't otherwise know how to tackle, and save ourselves hundreds of dollars at the same time. I followed the instructions on the video and accomplished this job in less than 1 1/2 hrs (The longest part was figuring out the airbag removal and how to set up the wheel puller). The recommended parts with links to amazon was a plus! I checked out the steering wheel puller from Autozone too (free).
Just changed my ignition lock module, by my self , thanks to this video. Thank you for your nice explanations of the little things that can make the diffrence in an easy job and wtf. Lol
This video was awesome! This made the job easy. Saved a lot of money from taking it to the Ford dealership. $75 lock ignition housing on Amazon.
Most thorough video I've watched on here in a long time. Very helpful knowledge. Thank you!
Thank you so much. Huge help. Took an hour. Cost less than $100. Works great.
As usual Brian is the go too on anything Ford and many other things! Just watched and ready to tackle my 09 Focus!!
Thank you soooo much!!!!! I am so thankful I found this most amazing and easy to follow instructions...My Mazda has been fiving me this trouble for a while and 2 days before I have to travel to go for a funeral 700 KMs away it stops working all together. Your instructions helped us change out the part in no time. starts like a dream.... Now we can make the trip to say goodbye and it is all thanks to your easy instructions. .... Thank you.
Thank you sir! Followed your instructions step by step, and it worked out. My daughter is a happy camper.
A great thoughtful and informative video. I really appreciated you calling out all the tools by size that were needed for the job - that a huge time saver for me. I was able to fix my 2009 Escape as well as my sister-in-law's 2010 Escape. Unfortunately, not before the dealer sold her an ignition switch that didn't fix the problem. It's amazing how little many dealers really know about the common problems with their own vehicles!
Dealers are incompetent this is such a common problem too. Never trust these dealers if you’re out of warranty.
Thank you for posting this video! I would not have known how to start this project. Replaced the module successfully and got the vehicle back on the road!!
Excellent video. Every step was correct. Big help getting the job done right and done once!
I appreciate you more than you know!!!
You have helped me numerous times through your UA-cam videos.
You've done it once again!
🍻
Great and extremely helpful video! I agree with many of the comments here - this is a fantastic video!
The most frustrating part - is getting the air bag off. I kept trying to imagine what I was working with behind the air bag. Imagine a 3-sided square-shaped spring. Starting from the upper left - the wire travels down about 2 to 3 inches - across the bottom to the right - and up the right side. The spring itself is made of round wire a little bit bigger around than a coat hanger. At 6:41 in the video - you can see the top left and top right corners of the spring. At 6:42 and 7:11 in the video - you can see the full spring. The airbag / horn piece is hooked on the top left - top right - and at the bottom. On the bottom hook - there is a hole for you put your push tool thru but you need to make sure you are square on the wire. If you see the horn/air bag moving - you are likely not in the hole but pushing on the hook. At 6:43 - you can see one of the air-bag hooks. At 6:53 and 7:04 - you can see the bottom hook. With a blunt push tool (rounded makes it harder) - you want to pop the spring straight up. Before success - several times I could get one side loose but not both. In frustration - I gave my 4mm tool a good solid hit and the airbag popped free. But it was the solid pop on the spring that moved the whole spring up enough for all 3 points to come loose. I did not have to pull on the airbag at all. Once the spring was pushed up for a brief second - the airbag popped free. I hope this helps! Good luck.
I don't have to do this yet, but I will. Thank you. You have helped me repair my Escape a few times already and I am sure I'll be back for more!
Great job. Now I can do it myself. You saved me a bundle. Plus I won't have to get the vehicle towed.
Really appreciated this video. The Escape Limited steering column came apart and went back together as demonstrated. Hopefully my daughter will have fewer issues starting her car. Thank you.
Thank You! I followed step by step and it worked out perfectly. Thank you for clear and excellent instructions! This saved me a lot of time and money!
Awesome video, my 15 y/o son watched the video and changed it out all by himself, thanks!
That is awesome!
Ford tech makuloco everything was just as easy as you described.
Did the entire job in 30 minutes.
Everything works great now
Thanks
This was probably the best DIY video I have ever seen. The entire job took me about an hour. Thank you for taking the time to post this!!!
Thanks for making this one of my cars had been down until today because of this
You video was excellent got it done in about 24 minutes awesome thanks for your incite used a chisel to remove the bolt a couple light hits with the hammer screw came lose enough to manually unscrew
I appreciate you posting this. It is very helpful, I am going to have to replace it myself very soon.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
This tutorial just saved me a lot of time, money, and headache! Super easy to follow and very detailed steps. You’re awesome!
Excelente tutorial,practico y muy profesional, saludos desde Tehuacán Puebla México.
Very concise and detailed, great work Brian.
TY! I encountered this issue on my 2012 Escape and your video was perfect.
My daughters 2008 Ford Escape does that. But this video is so damn good and shows you every little thing on what to do I could probably fix it my damn self. I got a little mechanic experience not much
Great video and definitely helped verify some things for this repair. Like some others, I left the wheel on. Just used vise grips on that strange bolt which surprised me that it loosened. Thank you!
How did you do it without removing the steering wheel? On top of the part itself, there is small rounded protrusion that prevents the part from swinging open...
Great video! I had some trouble getting the airbag off blindly- if you look at 7:10 or so on the video, you can see the release mechanism you are aiming for at the bottom of the screen- you have to push up pretty hard on that bar.
Thanks bro, now I'm back on the road!
This is a very good informative video! The only thing that I would change is that this is a hybrid model and not the basic can I see model Is in the title.
I don't really comment but this video was A LIFE SAVER!!! After a 1500$ quote parts and labor. Watched this video a couple times just to be sure! 180$ for part and about 3 hours of my time it fires up perfectly!!! Thank you!!!!
I was able to change one today on my daughter's 2009 Escape without pulling off steering wheel. Turning the steering to a about 90 degrees from center will give you access to the 5.5 bolt head that appears to be inaccessible. Ordered the part from ebay for $136
Wouldn't you need to removing the turning signal stock to remove the lock module
Very good video. Detailed and accurate.
I just changed the module in my '11 Escape. I'm not a mechanic, and it only took about an hour, without removing the steering wheel OR slotting the bolt. It came out with needle nose vice grips.
Mike MacEachern thank you I did the exact same thing No need to take airbag and steering wheel off👍
Can you guys help me I have the same problem but don’t want to take off all that
There’s more than one way to skin a cat and I would do it without taking the steering wheel off as well.
@@cheddaonthekeys I just done this on my 2009 Ford Escape. I did not have to take the steering wheel off. I just took the covers off and all the wires, and the Ignition switch guard thing off. There are 3 screws that hold the lock cylinder into place. I unscrewed those with a 7/32 millimeter socket and a small ratchett. There is one on top of the Steering wheel, one on the bottom, and one on the right side...That is the only hard one but you can do it. After that you can pry The Ignition column switch part away from the turn signal part at the top where the screw was at on the top of the steering wheel. I had to keep trying but I eventually got it off. Hope this helps.
Excellent, excellent job on this video. Thank you!!!
Frequent DIYer here. This video is by far one of the best I have ever come across to get the job done. I struggled a bit with the airbag pushspring, and also my wheel was on so tight my puller stripped the threads, but i got it off with some wiggling. Otherwise everything else was spot on. Seriously great video. 👍
puller stripped the threads ? omg. you sure the steering wheel is going to stay on? that doesn't sound good at all
@@HoodHandyman Yeah as in stripped the puller mounting threads. I think you are mistaking that I stripped the splines on the column, which can't strip because they are splines, and if I left the center bolt in the wheel would never come off.....
This is exactly what my Escape is doing. After testing I now KNOW this is the problem. Ford should have taken care of this with a recall. I don't plan to fix it myself but it's nice to know what I thought the problem was is, in fact, the problem. This could be really pricey if you have a mechanic that wants to do more extreme repairs than needed.
This was the issue on a 2010 Ford Escape XLT 3.0 that is my Company Vehicle. First time we had to replace the Module on the driver side of the column, second time we replaced the entire Ignition Switch and Module. All Ford Parts, and they seem to last about 2 years before I start having issues.
I know when it is having issues when I have to shove the key/cylinder in to start it.
Perfectly executed diy video. Many thanks 😊
Thank you so much, i just replaced mine today, works like a charm now. So thank you for your great video.
Thanks for the video. Saved me $300
Thank you so much! Other than the steering wheel puller I have everything need! 🙏🏾
Great and very helpful video. Just wondering why not take the wheel off first ? I realized on reassembly that it was easier to reinstall all the plastic crap without the wheel in the way
6 years later and you're still helping people to this day. Congratulations on a very well made and successful video, I know it takes a lot of effort to put something like this together and I'm glad the fruits of your labor has paid off over the years!
Thank you for this video. Great quality and very thorough. I appreciate the step by step and details down to screw size. I wonder how much I saved doing to myself. This has been an issue for years I just dealt with until it finally wouldn’t start until 50 turns of key.
Subscribing and liking this video
Thank you🇺🇸
Thank you so much for posting this. It's going to save me using some language (swearing) and tools (crowbars & hammers) that I would have otherwise used.
Thank you for the great information you provide on your site.
Great video ,my Escape ignition switch is getting old , thanks again for the repair lesson .👍
i don't know why some people doesn't like your video
This guy is awesome, videos are spot on. Has saved me thousands over the years. For him to share his knowledge with us garage guys and the time it takes to make these videos is incredible.. Super big thank you !!
I love your channel!
Great video easy to follow.
Love your videos very informative easy to understand
Thank you FORDTECHMAKULCO! Tools and information was spot on, I could have done it whit my eyes closed, it was that good. You are giving DIY people confidence and saving Sir.
I tried your test. Trying to start it then pushing in on the key. Still nothing. Does this still mean it's the module or maybe just the ignition switch and/or the lock cylinder?
Any update on your problem? That trick didn’t work for me either
Had to replace mine in my 2009 Escape.
@@barbiraderstorf813 what did you replace?
enjoyed your expertise and willing to to share
Your videos are impressive my man. Thanks for the help.
Hey brother. If you use a small turbo socket/ rounded bolt remover with a impact screw driver to take off the security bolt you dont have to cut a slot on it. On toyotas the bolt is recessed no room to cut a slot. Comes off in about 2 hits.
Great video. Had no problem following and the job was relatively quickly done. Only slightly tricky thing, and I can offer a bit of advice here, was getting that dang spring release pushed to disengage the airbag module. It felt weird to be reaching in blindly with a tool and apply pretty heavy force without knowing you were properly engaged on the right area. What worked best for me was to use a cheap allen wrench (square end is better than the nice ball end type) and make a mark at about 3.4cm from the long end (I had a spare steering assembly so was able to measure exactly) with a sharpie. Then strongly clamp some locking pliers, preferably with a comfort handle, to the angle and short end to give you a better grip. Insert the long end and feel around until you hit something at 3.4cm. Then push straight and hard. Took three tries (first two only one side released) and about 30 seconds once I had this makeshift tool made.
Excellent video.
Just a word of thanks for this video. Incredibly well done ! Clear, concise helpful instructions. Saved me several hundred dollars. Turning the wheel over was a big help.
I found it easier to remove the air-bag by wedging a large screw driver between the steering wheel and the trim piece behind it. Pry it up enough to shine a small flashlight into
the area where the retainer spring has the coil and just pushing the coil part down towards the bottom of the wheel. Takes much less pressure and you can pop out each side of the airbag separately.
The air bag tip was a time saver! Thank you
Good vid. Looks like a conventional shouldered 6mm-1.0mm x 20mm bolt w/ blue loctite torqued to 96 in lbs would be just fine.
indeed works for us Thanks
This video was excellent , thank you .
Great video! Saved me a lot of money!
Wow. I did not know The little push in trick. That should help in the mean time…. Mine has gotten worse over the last several weeks and now takes 5 to 10 turns to start sometimes.
outstanding job!
Great video just did it today. Thanks for posting I’ve owned many ford cars and trucks and have watched tons of your videos.... keep up the good work
What size bolt is required for the puller (thread and length)? I have pullers, just need the correct bolt size to fit the steering wheel female thread.
Thanks for the video. I have the same problem in my 2011 Escape.
I've been complaining about this to the Dealership for years but they act like they have no idea what it is. They have a faulty part. They should have changed it when it was under warranty.
Thank you! This video was perfect, and got me through the job successfully. (As a bonus, I had the excuse to buy new tools - 5.5mm and pulling tool.
Excellent video....Thank You
I have an Allen head machine screw that fits where the break-off bolt goes. Can I use that instead of buying a new break-off bolt? THANKS. GREAT VIDEO!
Late to the party but the break off bolt is used for security reasons. If you use a Allen bolt, a thief can easily remove the housing
I just did this repair. Thanks for the great video. Gives me piece of mind that my pregnant wife won't be stranded somewhere at least until we buy a new car this year. For those doing it, a 5.5 mm socket is a 7/32 in standard/imperial. If you have that no need to buy a special socket, or borrow one. Also to cut a notch in the special fastener you can use a dremmel/rotary tool with a cutting disk. Worked perfect for me especially since I had one already. If you don't you can get one at Harbor Freight for $6-7.
Great presentation! 5 stars
This video was absolutely SPOT ON!! Everything went EXACTLY as described. Thank you for the EXPERT advice.
Thank you so much for making this video. We have been having this issue both on and off for about 2 years. Took it to 3 different dealerships and sometimes even twice to the same dealer. Found your video two days ago and change it out today in 1.5 hrs. Our Escape starts up perfectly and the video was spot on about every detail.
Great video! I found that I did not have to pull the steering wheel off to change out the Ignition Lock Module though and I used a screwdriver and hammer to loosen up the bolt that you took the grinder to.. Great step by step instructions helped me to do this myself. The part only cost me $45 on Amazon compared to the big box store price of $189.
This is exactly my issue! Thanks for making this, I'm looking forward to fixing it myself and saving $600 from the shop's quote.
Nice video to be watch everydays
Thank you thank you thank you thank you! My car was sitting for weeks because I couldn't afford to fix it but thanks this step by step I did it in under an hour!
Helped immensely ty vm
Great video, I had that problem about 3 months ago ,and when I took my ford escape hybrid to the mechanic, he fucked real good, first he told a bunch of BS, then $756,00 and $200.00 for programming, I don't know what, I got it Done in west carteret nj,so now when I pass by, I'm gonna look at the name of that place, and post it here, so nobody else can get fucked by them, again!
