Dorman 47510 Ignition Cylinder Actuator Compatible with Select Ford/Lincoln/Mercury Models

Fit perfect, exactly the same as the one that came out. It is a horrible job to replace, but the part was right and it worked perfectly

Works great, not the easiest piece to install. But works great.

Good quality, price. Functioned properly.

Se ve bien, pero el envío mediante pasarex es demasiado lento, las compras por aliexpress andan mas rápido, solo por eso le quito una estrella.

Worked well, fixed my useless rotating ignition cylinder

Perfect replacement if you're willing to do the labor

My 1999 F250 Super Duty pickup would not restart after stopping at a gas station. After researching possible causes, I ordered this ignition switch actuator rod. The actuating rod links the key cylinder to the ignition switch located under the dash on the steering column. In this case, the small steel pin at the end of the rod that fits into the ignition switch had fallen out and was not moving the switch. Its interesting how a twenty dollar part can shut down a vehicle and cause a hefty towing bill.The part itself arrived quickly and quality is equal to or better than Ford OEM. Replacing it yourself is not recommended if you do not have basic mechanical skills, but if you search Youtube there are several good videos available to give you the confidence you need to figure it out. I am a visual learner and find that the videos are a big help in deciding whether my skills are adaptable to a given repair project. As Mr. Eastwood says, "A man's got to know his limitations." Or you can fork over $1200.00 bucks to a mechanic.The steering column is a two piece arrangement and the replacement of the actuator can be done by taking off the top flange and leaving the bottom piece installed under the dash. ( See videos.) The one thing I learned on my project that would have made things easier, especially if you are doing it solo is this: Clamp some vise grips on the steering shaft under the hood near the firewall so that the shaft cannot move. It makes a HUGE difference when you are reinstalling the top flange. Trust me, it will save you much time and curse words.Hope this helps someone.

Perfect fit for my 99 lincoln towncar. Was back on the road quickly
