Dorman 989-019 Ignition Lock Cylinder Housing Compatible with Select Ford/Mazda/Mercury Models (OE FIX)

Excellent replacement for my 2010 Ford Escape. Dorman clames they beefed up the parts that wear out on the factory switch. Just a few things that may help. You can change it with out removing the steering wheel and air bag. Used a dremel with a small reinforced cutoff wheel to cut a small notch in the steering column lock bolt. It does not need to be very deep at all.Then used a flat screwdriver to remove. They usually come right out very easily. You need a small 1/4" ratchet with a 5.5 mm socket to get the bolts out that hold the lock cylinder. Had to use a 5.5 ignition wrench to finish getting the one bolt out of the one in front of the lock cylinder because the ratchet gets binded up after a few turns. If you have a really small 1/4" ratchet you can get it out without the wrench. Take time to align the notch on the steering column with the one on the lock cylinder. If its right there should not be hardly any gap when the latch is shut. This uses your old lock cylinder so you don't have to re-key.Fixed all my issues. No more pushing in and jiggling the key.

09 Ford Focus Automatic Fixed my issue of sometimes being able to start the car and sometimes not neing able to. Matched OEM deaign perfectly. Decently easy to install with some Tube tutorials. Came with a new snap off security bolt. The hardest part was removing the snapped off security bolt to remove the old part. But even then it wasn't hard. I cut a deep slot in it and used a flat head screwdriver and twisted it out. Reused the old lock cylinder as well as the old ignition switch and original key. There was no re-programing needed. Now it starts everytime i turn my key.

Surprisingly came with the ignition switch which I wasn’t expecting, so I kept the OEM just in case. Easy to install and came with the security bolt that the others don’t. Car starts right up without having to shove the key in until it does.

I purchased and installed the Dorman 989-019 Ignition Lock Housing and the Dorman 924-710 Ignition Lock Cylinder. Recently purchased 2008 Ford Escape. Within a week, the dreadded (and common) ignition switch problem developed (the ignition switch can be turned but the vehicle won't turn over). Apparently, this had been a problem for the previous owner as I discovered that the ignition lock cylinder was glued into the original ignition lock housing. It became impossible to merely replace the ignition lock cylinder. I contacted a dealer regarding the cost remedy this problem and was given an estimate of $1500 so I decided to replace the lock housing unit and ignition lock cylinder myself. I chose the Dorman units because they actually have a YouTube channel with plenty of videos (showed me a commitment engage their customers) and thereviews were good. The ignition lock housing unit itself came complete with the security bolt. The new ignition lock cylinder fit easily into the new housing unit. It took a little patience to wiggle the original housing unit from the streering column (the toughest part involved removing the original security bolt - I cut a slot into the top of it then used a screw driver) but I was able to without removing the steering wheel. I simply reversed those steps to install the new housing unit onto the steering column. The new ignition housing unit, combined with a new ignition lock cylinder, works like new and I have had zero reoccurences of the problem. The only criticism I have is of the instructions that came with the ignition lock cylinder because the photos were very dark - virtually useless. This could be easily remedied. Overall, I saved a significant sum of money completing this project on my own and would recommend this/these products.

Good part. I purchased one 4 years ago for my 2008 Escape, and it's still going strong. Now I had to buy another one for my 2012 Escape, and YES, IT FITS THE 2012 MODEL TOO. I bought the more expensive Dorman because of too many complaints about the poor quality of the cheaper competing switches assemblies. No need to take off the steering wheel. Watch the youtube videos on how to do it. 30-60 minute job with the right tools

The 5mm screw hole on my unit was not tapped, so attaching the turn signal housing proved difficult. Other than that, the unit works great and fixes the dreaded ignition issue. This was also the perfect time to install a new steering wheel as our leather wrapped OEM was dingy. I swapped for a vinyl OEM that can easily be cleaned. Note - the cruise control controls on my old steering wheel were opposite of the new one. Just popped out the old controls and swapped the new ones. Try doing that on a new vehicle! These older hybrids are gold. Easy to work on and parts are cheap.

Diagnosed an increasingly more frequent starting issue with our car. Reliable starting got so iffy that could not start the car at all; luckily, I got the car started (one last time) without requiring a tow. After diagnosis and some help from the Tube, decided to order this replacement part. The repair/replacement took longer than I thought; but, more due to trim removal / reinstall than this part. All said and done; starting issue is solved, starts each and every time. This part was an exact replacement to the OEM discontinued part. Next day delivery from Amazon was great!

Fit perfectly for an oem replacement. Only took about 30 minutes to replace. Installed on 2010 Escape XLT.

Came quick fit fits well and cheap thank you make sure that you guys when you're looking don't buy the cheapest thing cuz some parts may not fit this one fit perfect just like to review said

Llevaba tiempo buscando esta pieza para sustituirla en mi Escape, hasta que vi este producto y la verdad el precio es realmente bueno, ya se cambió y funciona a la perfección. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Sigue funcionando muy bien

For some reason local auto shops were $100 more for the exact same part and brand. 30 to 50 minutes to install yourself assuming you do not take apart the steering wheel/airbag. Lots of good videos on YouTube Just did the install but so far works perfectly.

This is a good quality part! It was a simple job if you know how to remove it, and have done special tools :)
