Hi. I'm Mike Green. I'm one of the owners of 1A Auto. I want to help you save time and money repairing and maintaining your vehicle. I'm going to use my 20 plus years experience restoring and repairing cars and trucks like this to show you the correct way to install parts from 1A Auto.com. The right parts installed correctly. That's going to save you time and money. Thank you and enjoy the video.
In this video we're going to replace the ignition switch on this 1996 Ford Ranger. The process is exactly the same for any 95-97 and very similar 98 and up trucks. Tools you will need are an adjustable wrench, 7 mm and 8 mm sockets with ratchet and extension and a T-30 Torx driver as well.
Use the adjustable wrench and loosen this nut on the battery cable. Then turn the battery cable and disconnect your negative cable. Start out, you are going to remove four 7 mm bolts. One there. There's two underneath your hood latch here. Pull it out, right there. And then another one right over here. We're going to use a 7 mm socket with an extension and a ratchet. Once those bolts are off you actually pull down and forward or actually backwards on this panel. Just pull it out. There are two pins that hold it right there.
I'm now using an 8 mm socket. You're going to remove six bolts that hold this plate on. You can bear with me a minute as I just fast forward through removing those six 8 mm bolts. Now right up in here is your ignition switch. You are going to use a 7 mm socket and ratchet and unbolt the connection. I'm fast forwarding here again. I kind of use a socket to unbolt it. Then I do pull that grey cover off and then use my socket and ratchet again to turn it counter clockwise to loosen that nut. There's your switch. Now you want a T-30 Torx driver and two screws holding the switch in place, one there and then one over here. Fast forward a little bit as I'm removing those two T-30 Torx screws. There's your switch out.
The original switch and new switch from 1AAuto. Just make sure these are basically in the same general position. Put this in place on the screw. Remember you want the connector facing the driver's door. Put the pin back into place. Make sure everything goes in correctly. Tighten that screw kind of by hand. Make sure this one goes into place OK.
I'll speed it up here as I get that 7 mm bolt going that holds the junction block together and then use my socket and ratchet to tighten it up. Then finally put the grey protector over it. At this point you can reconnect the battery and test your switch out. Here I'm showing you just in fast forward putting that plate back underneath there and then using the six 8 mm bolts and tightening them up, getting that plate in place. What I do is get most of them in place first and then I tighten them up afterwards. Then on, the last thing is to put the lower panel in place, the trim panel and tighten those four 7 mm bolts that hold that in place. Last but not least, if you haven't done so already, reconnect your negative battery cable and you should be all set.

Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace an ignition switch on this 2001 Ford Taurus. It's the same part and similar process on these Tauruses from 1990 to 2005. The items you'll need for this are a new ignition switch from 1AAuto.com, 7mm and 8mm socket and ratchet, and a T30 Torx driver or bit.
Start off by removing these two 8mm bolts. We'll just fast forward as Don does this. Now, just pull out on this panel, and it will pull free. Then, remove this 7mm bolt right here. Now, pull this harness down and out and remove these two T30 Torx bolts. Now your ignition switch will pull free.
On the left is the old ignition switch. On the right is the new one from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical, and they'll fit exactly the same. Ours also comes with a new adapter if you would like to replace that as well. The adapter is located right here. You would just pry that one out and push your new one in. You want to make sure that on your new ignition switch you have the switch lined up in the exact same spot as it is on your old one.
Then, you want to feed the switch right up into here. Just push it into place and replace those two T30 bolts. We'll fast forward as Don does this and then tightens them up. Reconnect this harness. Then tighten up that 7mm bolt. Line up the clips and push this panel back into place. Replace those two 8mm bolts at the bottom. Once you've tightened those up, you're all set.

This is an EXACT replacement part! The swap-out was a smooth procedure, the old one was out, and the new one in, in less than an hour.
Fixed my issue of turn signals and blower motor not working.
Exact replacement, easy install.
easy to follow instructions really helped
do not have to remove master cyclnder
Simple to order. Great online videos to show how to install. I have used competitors online auto parts store and very disappointed in their customer service and delays in delivery. 1A Auto is a great company and the part is guaranteed to fit. I would highly recommend 1A Auto.
Did not work the right way when turned to start nothing happened.
I needed a ignition switch for my 96 f150 and this one is a perfect match to the OE ignition switch. Simple to change out and if your not sure you can watch the 1a auto video on YouTube.
Fit the car my schedule and my budget....will do business again
