Dorman 989 019 Ignition Housing Mercury - Efficient Replacement Part Review

I bought it thinking it was a problem with my ignition, I do it myself. When I started the demolition I noticed everything was new, I bought a car from one Relatives but I never asked if this kind of work had ever been done, well not even a year and a half before the whole ignition and switch were replaced (common problem on Escape/Focus models). couldn't read the key code so the car wouldn't start, replaced this part and it worked perfectly. I contacted Revain to have the new part returned and

This item comes with a new ignition switch installed. Installation can be problematic and frustrating. Limited space to work. Requires special tools: 1/4" drive, 5.5mm short socket and 1/4" swivel.

It got better for a while but the problem never went away and after a few months it was just as bad as before. After watching several YouTube videos on the subject, I ordered this part and crossed my fingers. She…

The first impression is good, then I start installing it. I'm a site manager and have been installing toilets and seating for over 30 years. You can't top-tighten it and it's a nice design because it stays clean except for a few mistakes. This damn nut is too small, so if you finger tighten her, you can't grab her enough to really tighten her. The nut is so short it's a nightmare and it took me 30 minutes to tighten. If you don't have much access to the bolt to clamp it with a vise, it will be…
