How do you change the ignition in a 1993 Ford Explorer with no keys?

I'm wondering if a locksmith would be capable of rotating your ignition lock cylinder to the on/run position so that the release can be depressed to remove the lock cylinder, or if a locksmith can make a key for the existing ignition lock cylinder ? This year I paid $30.00 and taxes for a locksmith to open my doorknob lock on my house, but I don't know what they would charge for something like that. Worth checking out.

How do you change the key lock cylinder on 1991 Chevy Corsica?

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.

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.
