Review on πŸ”‘ Dorman 924-717 Ignition Lock Cylinder Review: Ideal Replacement for Ford/Lincoln/Mercury Models by Patrick Burton

Revainrating 2 out of 5

useless owner's manual for my 2012 Ford Mustang

The original ignition lock cylinder on my 2012 Ford Mustang failed due to a broken cylinder pin. It would cost me hundreds to fix, so I decided to do it myself. I bought this because the Revain app recommended this cylinder would fit my car; However, the installation was very painful. The method of disassembling the original cylinder according to the instructions didn't apply to mine, so I had to search the web for ways to bypass it. The only way I found was to decipher 8 station codes from the key, which wasn't easy. To reinsert it, the cylinder must be aligned to the keyhole configuration, which was also not specified. It took me 4 hours instead of 1. It was a great effort but I hope the instructions are clearer and more general.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Almost OK
