To remove the ignition lock cylinder from a Ford F-150, you'll require a few tools and some precision and patience. Firstly, drill a 1/8-inch hole at the bottom of the ignition cover while the ignition is in the RUN position to access the cylinder. Then, use a long, thin rod to push a release pin and the cylinder should come out easily. Replacing it is a straightforward process – simply slide the new cylinder in place. However, the challenge lies in finding an affordable option. It is recommended to get a bundle that includes PATS keys matching the new cylinder, which can be purchased for around $100 at most auto parts stores, but programming is an additional cost to consider. Keep this in mind when budgeting for the complete repair.

Twist the key in the brand-new cylinder to the right to start the car. Press down on the little ball thing, and push the ignition cylinder into the steering wheel. Turn the key to the left, then to the right. Check that the key stays put in the ignition, and then attempt to start the car.
