Turn the key counter-clockwise, then clockwise just until the pin retracts. Slide the cylinder into the column until it doesn't go in any farther, then while pushing inward, turn the key until it locks into place. I don't remember the direction, but if it doesn't work by turning it one way, then turn it the other.

How is fuel injection different from spark ignition?

Diesel fuel injection injects fuel into air that is hot enough to ignite the fuel. Spark ignition takes a fuel air mixture mixed and then drawn into the cylinder before ignition, then ignites with an electric spark.

I believe that the switch is located in the ignition cylinder (which you can get from any auto parts store). Unfortunately you'll need a steering wheel puller and a tilt removal mechanism before you can start with that.


How do you program the remote key fob on a 2005 Buick Rendezvous?

How do you remove the key cylinder from the ignition switch on a 1965 Chevy?

Notice a very small hole in the chrome face of the key cylinder, insert the key and turn to the ignition on position, insert a paper clip or similar object into the small hole and gently push in as you turn the key to the start position. This will release the cylinder and allow you to pull it straight out. Disconnect the negative battery post before you try this. The above answer is wrong! Put ignition key into cylinder, turn the cylinder as far counter clock wise as possible. Install a straightened paper clip into the small hole on the chrome face of the key cylinder. Push the paper clip into the cylinder. (You will feel as "SPRING LOAD") Keep pressure against the spring load & turn cylinder slightly some more counter clock wise. While holding counter clock wise pressure remove the paper clip & turn cylinder counter clock wise until it will go no furthur. At this point pull the ignition cylinder out. BINGO!


Why would you have a hard time turning the key in the ignition in a 1996 Camry 4 cylinder?

The parts inside the ignition can be corroding. Solution Spray some WD-40 in there if that doesn't work you may need a new ignition. Keys can wear down and cause this problem, you may want to try a new key before replacing the ignition switch.


Is the ignition switch or cylinder bad on a 1988 Continental when you need to push the key past the on position to keep the digital dash lights on?

Impossible to say for sure until you look but I'd guess it's the lock cylinder. I am not familiar with your Continental, BUT have worked on Ford products for over fifty years. It is very possible that the problem is simply a misadjustment of the linkage between the lock cylinder and the ignition switch itself. Unsually on Ford products, the ignition switch is NOT located AT the lock cylinder, but instead is mounted on the top side of the steering column below and behind the instrument panel, just above the brake pedal. The linkage between the lock cylinder and the ignition switch is a small diameter metal rod, and the relationship of the two is adjusted by loosening two screws on the ignition switch itself, and moving it closer to, or farther away from, the lock cylinder. I would check and readjust before attempting to replace [expensive] either the ignition switch or the lock cylinder.j3h
