How do you change an ignition switch on 92 ford ranger?

Answer 1

Hopefully you have the key for the ignition switch still. If you do you need to start by dissabling the air bag by pulling the fuse if your truck is equipped with one. After that you will need a very small screw driver or a stiff piece of wire ( like a coat hanger ). Put your key in the ignition and look underneath of your steering colum right below the ign switch. There should be a small hole that you can put the screw driver up into. On the bottom of your switch is a small spring loaded button that you have to carefully fish around in there until you depress. When you think you got it, gently turn your key forward and backwards while pulling out on the whole switch. sometimes it's easier if you have someone else working the switch while you try to hit the button. When you get everything just right the whole assembley should slide out. To reinstall you should'NT have to push the button in, just make sure the square male end of your new switch is turned to match up with the female notch that's in the colum.
