Replacing the ingnition switch on my Ford F100 and I can not get the lock into the housing any help?

Hi,some times you have to have the key in the ignition barrel and switched on the first setting,
what I would try to do is put barrel in with key in as you push it in its housing turn key while still pushing the barrel in to its first setting entry as you push the barrel in to move the key from left to right and see if it will slide into its housing.
please let me know how you got on,or maybe youve already tried it.best of luck.

2001 Ford Taurus replaced fuel pump and filter. Engine turns but no crank. Inertia switch was down.. Turn key and hear pump makes running sounds.... No crank. Popped switch out..turned key and no sounds...

Could be a bad switch. Use a ohm meter to check each switch position. Use fuel pressure gauge to test for correct pressure. Use noid light to check for injector pulse. Check for ingnition spark.

95 Buick Riviera Died on the highway. 95 buick riviera was making a clanking sound, then I felt a big **** and everything shut off now car won't start, or do anything. what does this problem sound

Your flywheel may have broke or the crank could have broke. If the crank broke the engine is done. Try to turn the engine over by hand. You can put a socket on the crank pully bolt and try to turn it.make sure the key is off and out of the ignition. Sorry for your loss.

97 cavalier was running but just stopped.

Question:
Did you replace the ignition switch or the KEY AND CYLINDER?

These are the only 2 things that can make your engine turn off when you release the ignition switch after starting the engine.

I hope this helps you.

Key in ingnition will not turn steering whelel

Push in the key, while turning at the same time. If it still does not turn freely. Try wiggling the wheel a little bit. Do not put too much force, the key may break inside the switch. If that does not work, make sure the car or truck is level . Preassure on the wheels places preassure on the sterring wheel also.Then try again.
