🔑 Dorman 924-703 Ignition Lock Cylinder for Compatible Vehicle Models Review

First of all, I ordered an automatic transmission encoder cylinder for my Jeep Wrangler. I ordered the device in an open box (to save a few bucks during this pandemic). Someone sent me a dirty old broken ignition cylinder! Really Revane👎👎? Luckily I can return it. I included a note with the return that it was garbage. Hope it doesn't fill up. I still needed an ignition cylinder and ordered a manually coded ignition. He arrived quickly. I pulled out my old ignition (very easy btw) and started…

If you enjoy tinkering and want your door and ignition key to match, this is a great value. Much easier if you buy a cylinder with any key. Disconnect the battery and allow the airbag to deflate while watching a YouTube video explaining how to remove the plastic cover from your steering wheel.

I had to tap the key multiple times to get the old cylinder to turn (my original problem and hence the need for this repair). Once…

This is a quality replacement part that is easy to replace. Our old ignition cylinder in my wife's jeep was so worn out that she was able to remove the key while driving.

Since my wife doesn't mind an additional key on the bunch of keys, I have decided not to change the key on the cylinder just yet. I can…

Some time after I was able to tap the key with a hammer to turn the ignition cylinder in my square Jeep Cherokee, the cylinder stopped hitting the key to turn all. If you can get the key in your cylinder to work, you can push out the old cylinder; However, my cylinder was completely stuck. While most manuals advise you to press the button on the bottom of the cylinder while holding the cylinder in place (as part of the key extraction process), I was able to pierce that very piece to break it…
