Hi..
On 1993 Ford ranger to remove the ignition lock cylinder switch

You need to remove the Steering wheel.
Remove trim shrounds.
Set ignition switch to Run position.
If your vehicle is A/T trans. put the selector lever in Park.
You will see retaining pin. Push retaining pin inward and pull out the lock cylinder.
Unplug wire from lock cylinder.
To install reverse remove procedure.

NOTE'' If you don't have the key or the cylinder is locked.
Instead of push the retaining pin you will need to Drill with a
1/8 in ( 3.17mm) Bit to drill out the retaining pin.
Be careful DO NOT drill more than 1/2 in deep.
After you need a chisel to break away the cylinder cap.
You need a 3/8in (9.52mm) bit to Drill in center of the cylinder.
Drill aprox. 1 3/4 in( 44mm) Deep.
REmove metal shavings. And remove the cylinder.
Clean and lubricate the gear inside. and install the new cylinder.

OK............I hope this information work for you.
Thank's for use fixya.

SOURCE: Starting problem with a 1995 Ford Ranger 4 cylinder.

yes you need to replace the starter because most likely the seliniod is attached to the starter and you have to buy the whole thing

SOURCE: I need to remove the ignition switch from a Ford

no, you have to have the switch in the on position, you either have to drill the ignition out (1/2" drillbit) or chisel the tumblers out of the cylinder... using excessive force may break the column...which is definatly way more $ than a lock cylinder. to be safe i would just use the chisel method... if you drill too far you will ruin the column also

Sounds like you missed the ball socket inside the transmission housing. Remove the shifter and look closely. Remember pivoting will position the socket opposite the direction of movment of the shift lever. Insert the ball of the shifter correctly in the socket and you'll be all set.

1994 ford ranger, My stick wont go into fifth gear position.

When you put the Shift Handle back into the TOP of the transmission, there is a spring on the Top and it that comes loose, it would cause this.

BTW... it happened to me

Pull the Stick UP, Clean the Ball, make sure all the parts are there and that the spring that you push against is there and reinstall

I have an '89 Ford ranger stick shift that dosn't want to shift gears initally when it's like 20 degrees or so. Any way to fix this besides just letting it warm up? Thanks.

At very cold temperature the Transmission fluid becomes very dense, but it thins as it warms. Let the engine warm up, as your doing now is one way to work around the problem, but you may do better by taking it to a tranny repair place for a cleaning and adjustment.

'89 Ford Ranger will shift into 4X4 but will not shift out. Can change it to 2wd by hand but the motor will only shift it one way. Its push button shift. New shift motor.

Hi


Thank You for using FixYa. Kindly follow the instructions: Put the truck in neutral, have your foot on the brake, switch it out of 4LO and wait up to 10 seconds or so. If this doesn't work, put it in drive or reverse, move a foot or two, then put it back into neutral and try again. I bet it will work. If you're not in neutral, the drive train is still being torque by the engine. If your foot isn't on the brake, I think it electrically prevents the switch out of 4 LO from happening.

If it is stuck in, I might suggest you've got gearbox windup. Jacking up a front wheel might let it come undone.


If the actuator still sticks, I think there's an override on the transfer case. It has a dial with positions. You'll need a 1/2" Ratchet to work it, I think. I've got a 04 with a lever, but I've freed up the auto 4x4s for contractor buddies before.



Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or else revert for further assistance.


Thanks
