What is this!?

Autozone said they can not help me. Dude said contact Ford. How am I supposed to contact them if I have no clue what the part name even is?

Looking for the little lever thingy that goes in the square hole

New ignition is is but the key won’t come out of the cylinder with out jiggling the broken plastic piece above the ignition.


Other side. I can not tell if it’s supposed to tilt or not.

The one above the key cylinder is most likely called something similar to a "Key Cylinder Release Lever" You have to press it, to move the key cylinder lock position, and take the key out of the ignition. The one that is missing on the Passenger side, below and closer to the dash from the Turn Signal Lever is the Column Tilt Lever (If it has a tilt column).

I doubt anybody is reproducing either of them, but you might get lucky, I highly doubt Ford is still producing them.

I’ve tried every Google combination of Key Cylinder Release Lever, ignition cylinder lever, steering column levers, ignition buttons, ignition key lever release. Reverse Google searches, just ordered a Haynes repair manual online.

If nothing eles give them a call and explain what you need. As said you need to lock release lever for a standard shift truck.

I believe you need F2TZ-3F527-A. Still available from Ford around $30.

Haynes is not going to help you with this. Too general.
