Be sure and watch the first video. Make sure you understand the mechanics of what you are trying to do, first. The first video link is on a Ford. Its not easy to do, but it can be cheap. Just don't slip up and drill too deep. Fortunately you will have the new cylinder to use as a guage for how deep too drill.
Now what I have done is determine where the pins are that actually lock the lock, and just drill those out. Then you can take a large screwdriver and turn the cylinder. Once turned, you can press the button they are talking about in the video and it will release the cylinder. Then just insert the new one in the same position.

Has to be the lock cylinder,moving the wheel usually is the cure.might try some wd-40 in the "key hole" and run the key in and out a few times. sounds like a stuck tumbler.If that does not work,the lock cylinder needs changed,A breeze job if the key turns on,yours does not,so you will have to simply drive the lock pin in with a punch.
1. Disconnect negative battery cable. 2. Remove lower steering column shroud 3. Turn key to RUN position and press lock cylinder release pin on bottom side of lock cylinder 4. Pull lock cylinder out of steering column. 5. Reverse procedure to install
This happened to to me with my ranger. I went and bought in ignition and a junk yard and no problems after that. That way your not out of a lot of money.
Insert the ignition key into the ignition switch lock cylinder and turn to the RUN position.
Push the ignition switch lock cylinder release tab with a punch while pulling out the ignition switch lock cylinder. It is the little hole in the side.

You will need a new lock cyl. which is best purchased from ford, the tumblers are the culpret in your situation, you shouldn't need to remove the steering wheel the cyl can be removed after taking the trim bessels off, also if yours has the big black plastic key you have a transponder antitheft system so it is best to us ford cyl and code it to your original key so no need to reprogram keys, IE aftermarket cyl w. new keys.
The cyl should be about 100+ depending where you live.
hard! there is a hole on the steering column near the lock cylinder. normally you can turn the key and stick a small screw driver in it to pull out the lock cylinder. in this case you can drill the pin through that hole then pull it out
Take the plastic cover from around the steering column. There's a small hole under the lock Inside the hole is a small button you need to push in on which should release the lock cylinder. The key has to be in the switch. If that doesn't work, theres a thin metal rod that goes into the electrical of swirch. You need to remove it than try to turn the key. Than push in on the little button while trying to remove the lock .
You mean the ignition lock cylinder? Turn key on, then look under the column, near the cylinder, there is a small hole, take a small screwdriver or rod and find the small hole about 2 inches from the key and depress the button, the cylinder should pull out.
Hi..
On 1993 Ford ranger to remove the ignition lock cylinder switch
You need to remove the Steering wheel.
Remove trim shrounds.
Set ignition switch to Run position.
If your vehicle is A/T trans. put the selector lever in Park.
You will see retaining pin. Push retaining pin inward and pull out the lock cylinder.
Unplug wire from lock cylinder.
To install reverse remove procedure.
NOTE'' If you don't have the key or the cylinder is locked.
Instead of push the retaining pin you will need to Drill with a
1/8 in ( 3.17mm) Bit to drill out the retaining pin.
Be careful DO NOT drill more than 1/2 in deep.
After you need a chisel to break away the cylinder cap.
You need a 3/8in (9.52mm) bit to Drill in center of the cylinder.
Drill aprox. 1 3/4 in( 44mm) Deep.
REmove metal shavings. And remove the cylinder.
Clean and lubricate the gear inside. and install the new cylinder.
OK............I hope this information work for you.
Thank's for use fixya.
