quick and clean, very well done video. The "pin" is called a detent, and a small drill bit that fits in the hole (using the flat end) was what I found to work very well.
great video, just recovered my F350 back from a theft. They used the same screwdriver to open the driver's door then to pop the ignition and start the truck. I'm going with the Jimmi' Jammer on all 4 doors and the Ravelco plug to prevent this from happening again (hopefully). This should help keep the honest crooks away. I can replace the ignition switch and door keys now after watching this, great video.
I'm going to have to look into those products. Apparently older trucks are the thing to steal these days. And if you have the 7.3, it's an even hotter item to have stolen.
Had the exact same thing happen to me just last week on my 2000 f350, they even left the screwdriver they used in the drivers seat. Will be replacing all my locks and ignition switch tomorrow.
Outstanding tutorial. Just found out some POS broke into my '06 Ford e150 cargo van and tried to steal it. Going to buy the ignition switch and door lock cylinder and replace them myself.
Just had an attempted theft on my 7.3 in Orlando, Fl. There are some worthless souls out there.. I’ll have to replace the key cylinder and doors locks plus add a security system of some sort. Thanks!
:( It sometimes it is a very sad world. There use to be a system that helped prevent breaking into the doors called Jimmi Jammer plate, but I think a crook will still figure out how to get in.
The door weep holes need to be cleaned out and spray the interior of the door with rust killer if needed. One thing that will save the life of your window motor is using a silicon track lube, I've seen the friction from the verticle guide rubber on the edge of windows kill a brand new window motor. Also getting the plastic back on the door correctly before replacing the door panel will save you on road noise and drafts.
Personally I would use jigglers to get it to turn. They are a lock picking tool set that are pretty easy to use. I ordered all of my picks from Southord online.
I know that Fords (in your year and mine) use a key that has a chip in the head of the key that acts as a theft deterrent device. Will this system be affected by installing a new ignition lock cylinder and using the new keys that come with it?
Mine doesn't have the chip. I think superdutys were excluded. Not sure if the computer would need to be reprogrammed or you can just get by with replacing the mechanics.
So I lost the key to my truck including the spare....is this a cheap solution to getting new keys??? Or do you have to have key and have it turned to on position to get ignition lock out
Pretty sure the key needs to be in the on position before it can be removed. Maybe there is another way to remove it rather than the built in release mechanism.
Drilling out the cylinder is the other way. It is tedious and requires cobalt bits (3/8" and 1/2" are what I needed). Don't go deeper than the length of the key, or you will have to replace the bearings in the housing that hold the gear for the actuator.

Thank you! Short and sweet. Detailed!!
great video, short sweet and to the point and very helpful!
What if I can't get the key to turn to run postion 03 f350

Thanks sir, the great video! 👏
What if you cannot turn it to the on position how do you replace it
Do you have a kit for a 2002 Dodge Durango and for the slt models?
Super helpful video! Thank You!
You know what size socket was used to remove the nuts holding the door handle in?
Do they make that kit but for 4 door ?
So i followed the steps and the new key won't come out the ignition.. help
What if you don't have your keys anymore?
Just curious did you do any preventive maintenance items inside that door when you had it open such as oiling the tracks or anything
I did not, but it would of been a really good idea. I have to replace both power lock motors next, maybe I will do some preventive maintenance then.
1D10CRACY on mine it wasn't the lock actuators but the switches that were causing too much voltage drop

Thank you very much for the video and God bless you
Can you still replace it if you lost the key
Personally I would use jigglers to get it to turn. They are a lock picking tool set that are pretty easy to use. I ordered all of my picks from Southord online.

Do you have to disconnect battery negative cable first? I saw another video where they did
I did not, but probably wouldn't be a bad idea.
Thank you
He's more clarification on disassembly and more clarification on Rio assembly
Search part 707624 you can get an ignition lock cylinder set you can pin to fit your current key, should take less time and less than half the cost.
Wow that was easy enough.
I did exactly what u did and all it does is cranck it doesnt start
You need to program your new keys
That’s a lock and tumbler not an ignition switch. ;-)
LOL you are correct! But if I referred to it as a tumbler, you would of been the only viewer who understood. :D
That's an ignition cylinder not a ignition switch
Yes sir! You are correct!
