Thank you for this video, very detailed and easy for my husband to follow. He just replaced this part in our 2010 tonight.

Great news ! Glad he was able to fix it . I am sure it was much more cost effective and if you have the right tools and take your time this is an easy job :)

Thank you so much for mentioning that the cylinder housing needs to be adjusted in the new part before the cylinder will fit in correctly!!!! We were following another video for this repair and this is where we got stuck for like 30 minutes trying to figure out why the cylinder wouldn’t fit in the new part!!! Thank God we found your video!

I am so glad it was helpful ! I love getting positive comments like this that saved you time and money :) hope the rest of the repair went smoothly .

boy.....when you look at all the work to get to the module....you have to ask yourself, where is that dang engineer that dreamed this up!?

This worked for me! Thank you!!

Just had ignition switch housing replaced on 2010 ford escape replaced. Before replacing car would not crank or start. Car now cranks but no start. Battery and started had tested food. Any ideas?

12/18/23 - Good work on explaining tools needed, prep, etc. The sun was actually good for recording this, you didn't need extra lighting at all. I think I need this repair on my '10 Escape XLS. I have electric-assisted-steering-by-wire so the clockspring mechanism is critical on removing and positioning. Ford has a recall on these going bad. Did this Escape have electric-assisted-steering-by-wire or power steering hydraulics? The no crank problem happened to me, once about ago month ago. But it started with a jump pack attached. Not sure if that was what helped it. My battery was under warranty at autozone, so I immediately went there and they checked it out as good to go, not even 2 yrs old. Now it won't crank, and sounding like it's a bad starter motor (noise like a solenoid is chattering). Thanks in advance if you can reply.

I am very familiar with the steering for the by wire. I have on a Mariner (same part and job as escape) relaced the angle sensor. The cars wheel kept shaking left and right and ultimately I ended up replacing the steering angle sensor. super scary putting the key in the first time after replacing that! This escape I dont believe I remember having to mess with the angle sensor on the job in this video so it either didn't have it or its so far down the steering shaft it doesn't need to be touched for the job. Since the angle sensor is deeper down the steering wheel I don't think it changes the job with or without electronic but please dont quote me on that.

also for this issue on the escape no amount of power change with jump or jump pack changed how the key reacted. I wouldn't think its the same issue unless it was just lucky to work better. I would suspect as you did if the starter/solenoid is making unusual noises it may very well be on its way out. As always make sure all connections are clean power/ground on battery and on car/starter. As corrosion can cause tons of issues and have you doubting yourself.

Thanks for the quick reply! You're right, the part I was referring to is not involved for this fix. Just looked at a video for replacing PS Torque Sensor on an Escape. Now I'm thinking my problem is battery issue/wiring harness problem (bad ground or hot short) or charging system problem.@@JustFixinGarage

I use a small chisel to get those bolts loose and then turn them by hand..Hit the round bolt head on the edge smacking it counter clockwise

Hi, appreciate you vids. Can this issue also cause the dash warning lights to come on intermittently while driving?

The key cylinder shouldbt but multi function switch (the stick that you use to turn it on and off for wipers ) may be going bad . This same escape has had that replaced before

Hey do you have referral service In Cincinnati?

While doing this. My theft alarm system went on and I can’t get it off.

Is it possible the ring around the cylinder is unpluggged ? That plastic ring is what picks up the signal from the key. If it was damaged or unhooked it would likely cause that issue .

@@richardrandall35 this happened to me as well, but when the wired ring is placed back on the key ignition area it goes back to normal.

My ignition is acting up now. Gotta jiggle the key and push it in to start it.

Sounds like this may be the problem then . Or are you saying after changing it you have this issue ?

Just to confirm, I don't need to get a new key for this fix?
