How do you remove acuator switch
Do you want the ignition switch or the key tumbler?
your local ford dealer will usually print you out a diagram. busted my ignition to jump-start my f-150 and they were cool about it

do you want to know how to replace the ignition switch, which is not visible, and is the electrical part lower down on the column, or do you want to know how to replace the ignition lock cylinder, where you put the key in? *another thing to remember is that there was a recall on that part of an 89 f150. you can get it fixed for free at any ford dealership.
Look on the side of your distributor. It takes a special wrench to remove it if it is there.
you could have a bad ignition switch, it is the electrical piece behind the key inlet, you need to remove the steering column cover to remove it, cost about 70 to 150 dollars depending on brand, goodluck, let me know if this works.
I have an 89 f-150. There is a hole just underneath where you insert your key. Put your key in. Us a pin or something to press in the hole and the entire ignition switch will slide out. Beware that i found that tumblers weren't my problem. There is a metal rod that runs down the steering column that gets pushed as you turn the ignition. My rod was bent preventing the ignition from turning. Nothing wrong with my tumblers.
My guess would be yes. You won't know for sure until you remove them both. If they wiring is the same, then it will work.
