How do you remove and install the ignition lock cylinder on Ford Explorer?

Remove the terminal end of the battery's negative wire, and in cars with air bags, the positive battery cable as well. Slide the key into the lock cylinder and rotate it to an anti-clockwise position, which corresponds to Run. Utilize a small scribe or punch and then push down on the retaining pin through the hole of the lower steering column cover and when doing so, apply a pulling force on the lock cylinder. If there is no hole in the lower steering column cover, then the cover has to be taken off. When installing the lock cylinder, one must press the retaining pin in and fit the lock cylinder over the steering column such that it fits properly and the retaining pin is engaged then turn the key to the lock position. As a last test, check the lock cylinder in each key position it should work properly.
