This is the video I've seen so far, comparing to others

Thanks for a great video. My friend had a 2009 Focus with a bad ignition housing. I was able to get the ignition housing/switch with a new security bolt for $46.00 on Amazon and had it installed in 45 minutes. You saved me a lot of money. I really appreciate the time you put into these videos. Thank you

Great! Thank you for posting you comment. Well done fixing the ignition

[@eliezerreyes-xi5dc]

Bro I got a question did you have to reprogram with the new housing or no

[@tkshouse3547]

Excellent tutorial. Thanks for making this video. I was able to get my 2010 running again.

Thanks for the very good video! I replaced old housing with the Dorman 989-019 Ignition Lock Cylinder Housing Compatible with Ford Focus 2010. Funny thing, had a hell of a time getting the housing to meet up flush around the column. Also had a hell of time getting old key cylinder into new housing. I even checked another auto parts Whse. To make sure had correct part, and I did. Anyway, thanks again!

I have the same replacement part just making sure if you recommend using it or just trying another brand.

[@miker.2148]

Don’t know. Why it was hard to get flush, can’t say. My experience didn’t match the ease of the video. Good luck!@@mytwocents4892

I found out the hard way that you need to put those steering column bezels back on before you test drive it. The steering wheel position sensor requires a dark environment because it uses infrared sensors to operate. With all the daylight, the sensor won't work properly and your ABS and traction control will start to freak out.

[@Prophecy23JC]

What brand replacement part did you go with? Thanks for the video.

[@gqautodiagnostics]

Hello! Thank you for asking your question. I believe it was a dorman brand from AutoZone. Let me know if you have any other questions

[@Prophecy23JC]

@@gqautodiagnostics Thanks. I ordered that one from Amazon last night. I didnt want chance the no-namers for half the price.

[@HankBadon]

U have 2 bypass stwich,that's what I had 2 do 2 mine

[@Prophecy23JC]

Do I need to unhook the battery before doing this? (If Im not taking off the steering wheel)

[@gqautodiagnostics]

You can disconnect the battery to prevent any accident. Let me know if you have any other questions.

[@Prophecy23JC]

@@gqautodiagnostics I didnt disconnect it. It took me forever to get the key cylinder back in. After I figured out it wasnt bad to turn the d shaped cylinder from the other side, I felt like an idiot. I just figured it shouldn’t have to be turned.

[@jefferyneitzke2474]

Did the key need reprogrammed?

[@gqautodiagnostics]

Excellent question! No it did not. Keep me posted.

[@snowwhite6882]

Where u located lol fix mine

[@bullionbouncer5080]

How did you figure out if it was the ignition or a bad starter, my wife's focus is having this same no start issue, after about 8 times of flicking the key over it will start, she says it's the starter I say it's the hosuing and I don't want to waste any money so how can I be sure?

[@mitchlane92]

Bridge the relay with a wire. If it starts immediately its the housing. If it doesn't its starter/solenoid
