Door Locks Question:

[rypp77]

I have a 1996 Ford Ranger (No powerlocks). My ignition works with my key but it won't lock my doors anymore. What do I need to do to get it to work?

I can order new lock for the door, but which models are interchangable.

Try some graphite spray in the locks first, if that doesn't help, go get a new key cut. If both doors are doing it I'd guess the key is probably worn out.

The ignition lock isn't quite as picky.

I don't know how late the door cylinders will fit, but I know that door cylinders for a 1993-94 won't work in a 1995 up.

Frankly I'd go looking at "new arrivals" in your local u-pull-it and try to get a complete lockset.

they are all relatively easy to get out...

If you have the key and a Craftsman T-20 torx driver (NOT the magnetic bit kind)
you can get the ignition cylinder out of a 1995 up in about 5seconds.

the door cylinders require a big screwdriver (to use as a prybar) and or a pair of channel locks to get the sheet metal clip that retains them in the door...
