Hi everyone,I'm new to this forum and could really use some advice. Earlier today, someone tried to steal my truck, but thankfully, they weren't successful. The thief removed the lock cylinder, but I'm not sure what other parts I need to replace to get my truck back in working order.Any guidance on what I should look for or what parts I need to replace would be greatly appreciated. My truck is essential for me and my family, so I'm hoping to get this fixed as soon as possible.Thanks in advance for your help!

 

That part hanging down is the transceiver antenna ring. If it's damaged you'll need a new or good used one.

You'll need a lock cylinder, and it looks like the housing the cylinder goes into maybe pretty damaged.

If you still have your keys, the way to go in my opinion for the lock cylinder is getting the motorcraft one that comes with all the wafers and take the 15 minutes to key it to your old key so you don't have to mess with programming in new PATS keys.

 

Ive been looking for a ignition housing but im unable to find the right part number for my truck

 

I think the part you are after might be

F75Z-3511-AB

compare photos of them online with yours to see if they look the same

It looks like unforunately, it might be a lot of work to get it apart to replace that.

So I guess you could order it, or see if theres a local salvage yard type place that has one...

 

I found this part that matches with my truck on ebay

2004-2006 FORD F-150 Steering Column Shift W/KEY7L3Z-3C529-C OEM

 

Thief was stupid...you can't steal that without a PATS device.

 

You can also search for "F150 oem parts" and compare part diagrams to yours to help figure out what you'll need. Here is an example: https://www.fordpartsoem.com/v-2006-...-ignition-lock

 

Why don't you use your insurance?

 

Go to parts.ford.com Use your VIN to find parts specific to your truck.


At the very least, you need a new cylinder. I can't really tell from your photo what is damaged, and what still works. If you're lucky, you could find parts in a junk yard, which may or may not work. Your local dealership will be able to pull up the same parts diagram and hopefully get whatever you need.

 

The lock cylinders are available online, at over the counter parts stores, and dealerships. Instructions should be included. If you can wait for shipping, then pricing online is a lot lower.
