I have a broken Ignition actuator can anyone tell me how to replace? I have a non tilt steering column (1989 Ford F-250)

 

Hello rjcutch, I'll move this thread to the proper Chapter so you get an answer to your question, it will be right here: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum28/

In that Chapter you can post any questions about your ride, there are plenty of knowledgeable guys in there regarding you truck model (and I'm around there too, so that's a BIG bonus , hehehe...). Welcome to FTE!.

 

Are you referring to your ignition lock cylinder (where your key goes)?

 

Here is another thread about this, the good stuff starts with post #3....

I just replaced both the ignition switch and the lock cylinder in my 1989 F250 ( I did not have to replace the actuator rod that connects them )

I found these instructions very useful:

Turned out to be pretty easy for both.

 

this is a good writeup on how to do it.

since you do not have tilt, just skip the part about removing the tilt pins.

i do not remove the ignition switch, ignition lock/key cylinder, or lock cylinder gear.
i can do an actuator in 2 hours these days.
