To change out the ignition switch (key lock): I found you can follow the instructions in Haynes, autozone.com, etc. up to the point of the release pin. Instead of approaching from the bottom with the punch or awl - you won't find any hole, you need about 8 - 10 inches of wire like bailing wire (stiff, about 3/32" diameter). Look down from above at the key/lock housing. At about the middle of the housing you will see a cylindrical shape in the housing that will be pointing toward the driver's seat. This contains the channel to reach the release pin. You will be able to see (still looking from above) a rectangular slot where you can reach the channel. Take the wire and bend in a "L" shape with a gentle arch so the shortest end has about 1 1/2" straight wire. Insert the short end in the opening to find the pin and push it in to release the lock mechanism. I have a 94 Ford Ranger XLT v6 4L that this description fits exactly!! I even took my old door key with the new ignition key to a locksmith and had them finish cutting the new ignition key for the old door locks. Total costs for me to do the change ~$35.00 the local Ford dealership wanted $325.00. Total time including install, buying part, getting keys cut 1.5 hours. This site is great!
