Key
Need more info, such as what cylinder you are asking about, wheel cylinder, key lock cylinder, engine cylinder and what year, make and model vehicle.
I think that Linus Yale Jr. was a lock manufacturer and patented the cylinder lock in 1861.
No. It either worked to start or it didn't.
That depends on which engine it is equipped with. The 2.5 liter has 4 cylinders, and the 3.1 & 3.3 Liter V6 have 6 cylinders. If you see 3 plug wires going to the engine that means it is a 6 cylinder. The other 3 are hidden on the back side of the engine. If you see 4, then you have a 4 cylinder. It also has two door lock cylinders and two real wheel cylinders. One trunk lock cylinder,one master cylinder and ign. cylinder.
Remove the retaining ring at the top of your Chevy S 10 ignition lock cylinder. Slide the ignition lock cylinder out. Remove the wiring harness from the back of the ignition lock cylinder. Reverse the process to install the new ignition lock cylinder.
If you are talking about the ignition lock cylinder, turn the key to the accessory position, insert a paper clip into the little hole on the face of the lock cylinder to release the lock pin, turn the key a little further in a counter clock-wise direction and the lock cylinder will pull out. If you are talking about a door lock cylinder, remove the door panel, roll the window all the way up, pop the little clip loose on the lock rod that is hooked to the back of the cylinder and remove the rod from the lock arm, then pull the 'C' clip out that is holding the lock cylinder in place and push the lock cylinder out.
Begin by removing the retaining ring at the top of your 1994 Ford ignition lock cylinder. The ignition lock cylinder will slide out. Remove the wiring harness from the end of the ignition lock cylinder. Reverse the process to install your new ignition lock cylinder.
If the water gets into the cylinder head, it could create rust on the valves, cylinder liner(s), piston(s) and piston rings, causing the engine to "lock up".
You turn a mortise cylinder lock slightly before removing to release it from the lock housing. There is an obstruction in the lock design to keep the cylinder more secure in the lock. After you remove the holding screw from the lock body you can turn the cylinder slightly to release it and remove from the lock housing. Not all mortise cylinders are designed this way. Some of the cylinders unscrew from the lock housing after releasing the cylinder retaining screw.
If you are talking about the ignition lock cylinder, the steering wheel must be removed and the column disassembled to access a lock screw which holds the ignition lock cylinder in the column. No key is required for this (unlike all other vehicle manufactures). If you are talking about the door lock cylinder, the door panel must be removed, and the lock cylinder retaining clip must be removed (again no key is needed, which is the same for all manufacturers). If you are talking about the trunk lock cylinder, it is easily accessible from inside the trunk. Those are the only types of lock cylinders in this type of vehicle. There is no specific lock cylinder named key lock cylinder.
Attach the wiring harness to the end of the ignition lock cylinder. Slide the ignition lock cylinder into the slot. Tighten the retaining ring at the top of the cylinder.
You will need to attach the wiring harness to the end of your 1984 Chevrolet Blazer ignition lock cylinder. Slide the cylinder into the cylinder slot. Secure the ignition lock cylinder with the retaining ring.
