The instructions are helpful but I suggest watching some online videos.

Glass and parts came in original packaging with instructions and lithium grease. The instructions are useful, but I recommend watching a few videos on the web to understand how to assemble the inserts, not including springs for installation. Final assembly is done AFTER the key/insert code has been cleared. But the key worked perfectly after assembling it and inserting it into the car's ignition switch.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Out of fashion

Motorcraft Ignition Replacement Engine Review

The instructions were a bit misleading and the packaging sucked. Revane or someone else would crush the box of saran and wrap it in a piece of flat cardboard so that the entire contents came out and floated around the larger shipping box. After all the parts were in place I basically just used the instructions as an overview and figured it out myself. It took about an hour to get all 7 correct cups in place with lots of test fittings. After the final assembly everything worked perfectly. A…

Great for switches and relays

I would give this 5 stars but the instructions provided were a bit confusing and I had to watch a couple of Ford Focus Ignition Tumbler tutorials on YouTube to figure out how the plates are supposed to work. placed in a cup. Took me about 90 minutes from start to finish (including the time to remove the old cylinder and install the new one). The dealer asked for 397 dollars. (Note that Amazon offers equivalent products at a lower price - I just went with the Motorcraft part because I figured if

Easier than I thought.

This turned out to be a lot easier than I thought. The kit included four springs with five different depths of cut and eight springs. The manual includes a diagram showing how to measure the key and select the correct switch for each station on the key. This is where a digital caliper comes into play. The only other tool that would have made assembly easier was snap ring pliers for the retaining clip. I managed to get by with a bench vise, a flathead screwdriver, and another screwdriver as a…

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure

Ignition switch won't stick (2003 Ford Focus)

Well this problem crept up on me 6 months ago but it only happened once and hasn't left me alone until last week. Last week the old switch started sticking and after disconnecting it 2 times I decided I didn't want to drill this thing so I left the key in, unhooked the battery and ordered it from Amazon in a day. Delivery. I then removed the old lock cylinder which PO replaced as it was not a car brand. It was very easy to do after receiving it. Installing the various tumblers until they were…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Concise instructions

2000-2004 Ford Focus Factory Replacement IC

This is what you need if you have an older Ford Focus with a misaligned ignition keyhole. Mine started behaving and after a thorough Google search and some searches on a few Ford Focus websites I found that this was a common problem. This ignition cylinder is the solution and I would say do it now even if you have no problem. At some point the key just won't turn anymore. You don't want to wait until then. It requires drilling to remove and is primarily made of hardened steel. Not an easy or…

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Ugly Packaging

Replaced by a 2002 Ford Focus ZX3

My 2002 Ford Focus ZX3 had a common problem with a stuck ignition switch. This kit allows you to reuse an existing key. Other kits give you a new key but then you have to reprogram your car's security system to recognize the chip in your new key and you have different keys for the doors and ignition. So with this set the effort is much less. There is a video on YouTube showing how to do it. Note that if the ignition is currently locked, you can only remove the old cylinder if you can turn the…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Can't remember
