Any help would be appreciated I recently purchased a 97 7.3 power stroke. Knew the lock cylinder was going, it broke before I could replace. Went in replaced it and the key is still turning back and forth with no/ little resistance. No lights nothing work. Is this an actuator rod ? I can see the rod barely and cannot tell if it is broken any idea how to tell? Any other ideas Ignition switch etc..

Do you have any idea why when I try inserting my new ignition switch it doesn't act correctly. It worked fine before it was just broke on the outside where you put your fingers to operate the switch. It would just spin so I always had to like it up for the key to go in. But the switch itself worked fine. Accessorie, off, on, resisted start if that makes sense. Any tips would be great. Do you think I should go to O'Reilly, napa, or a actual parts store? This switch I got is off Amazon. It looks the same but was cheap yk.

after installing new lock cyl, my 92 tilt wheel wouldn't lock with key off. Fixed it by seeing at 2:48 in video the gear position & pulled new lock cyl out again and mine was correct. Mine had a blue lock thin plastic washer type keeper that I had to twist to get out and the gear was under it. then got screwdriver and slid the yellowish/white plastic 'rack' TO THE LEFT (maybe one tooth) and reinstalled the gear + blue keeper + lock cyl and Now My Steering Wheel locks again with the key out! The GEAR POSITION AND THE RACK POSITION DEFINITELY CONTROL when the steering wheel locks. When I say 'the rack', it is the toothed piece that the gear engages with and when the key & gear turn, it pushes this rack down the column to activate the electrical switch. By MOVE TO LEFT I mean looking down into the lock cyl hole (move left and away from electrical switch /away from steering column base). Had to watch that section of your video 3 times, but eventually I got it on the first removal of lock cyl. yeah seems easy, but only after I watched a dozen other youtubes and googled for over an hour. thanks for the video and helping me STUMBLE ON TO THE FIX. Hope this helps someone.

I just forced mine. You will be replacing the cylinder anyway. Key in it would not turn cylinder, so I forced turned it with some channel locks. It sheared off the key in the cylinder but I was able to then turn/start vehicle then with a screw driver. I would just try and force/brake the lock this way with some channel locks. Try it first without the key in there if you don't want the key broke in half. YMMV

These years of trucks did not have NFC/RFID chips and sensors installed in the vehicle. So, programming is not required because that anti-theft feature was not available in these model years (1992-1997). For 1998+ I am not sure when they enabled that security feature.
