Ford Ranger More than two decades ago, the Ford Ranger debuted as an answer to various compact pickup trucks being made available by Japanese automakers. The Ranger was cleanly styled and offered with a choice of a 6-foot or 7-foot bed. Ford boasted that the Ranger had more interior room than the best-selling imports and that 4-by-8-foot construction material could be carried in the bed.

Red face Ignition switch replacement?

Hello all

Got my brother-in-law's 97 Ranger back together after changing the timing belt, moved the truck to the front of the house and promptly lost the only key he had! Amazingly enough I had a spare Festiva key in the garage that opened the door but I had no luck with the ignition.

Does anyone here have any experience changing the whole ignition lock on these things? I've found a couple of videos showing the ignition switch being changed out but they all use the old key.

I'm heading to PnP in the morning to see if I can find a Ranger with keys in it and pull the entire lock assembly if possible along with the door locks.

There are thousands of fasteners used on a car but the one that causes the most problems is the nut that attaches the steering wheel to the front seat
