Hi, I’m Mike Green, one of the owners of 1AAuto.
I want to help you save time and money repairing and maintaining your vehicle.
I’m going to use my twenty plus years of experience restoring and repairing cars and
trucks like this to show you the correct way to install parts from 1AAuto.com.
The right parts installed correctly.
That’s going to save you time and money.
Thank you and enjoy the video.
In this video we are going to replace the ignition lock cylinder and key on this ‘97
Intrepid.
The only tools you’ll need are T30 and T15 torque drivers.
If you replace this, you will need to keep the new key that comes with the ignition lock
cylinder as well as your old key to work the doors.
10mm wrench and disconnect your battery cable.
To remove this, first thing, T30 torque bit.
Up underneath here, there’s a screw to remove the tilt lever.
Up and underneath, there is, I see two T15 screws there, another one there.
There’s one way up in that hole there.
Way up in that hole there and then way up in that hole there.
You’re going to tilt.
While we’re going, you can kind of reach in there with your finger and pull and still
tilt.
Make sure it’s tilted all the way up.
We’ll fast forward as I just I remove those six T15 torque screws.
You can see the silver ones that are at the bottom are shorter and the others you have
to reach up into the holes or the cavities are longer screws.
On the bottom one you kind of pull down and out.
Over the key cylinder reach in, lift down and this one comes up and out.
Once you have all the trim off, go right underneath the lock cylinder here and there’s a little
square button right there.
That’s where you put the key in.
you want to turn it to the run position.
Okay.
Flip that button.
Shoot up with your torque driver and pull it right out.
This is a lock from 1AAuto.
I just want to make sure this O ring kind of slid down.
The O ring belongs right into that groove there.
Make sure you have your button down.
Close it down.
Place our top panel down in first.
Put it back up.
I’m putting the bottom panel in.
We’re going to start the small bottom screws first.
I’m not going to make you watch me put all those screws in in real time.
We’ll fast forward it here.
You start the bottom screws.
Leave them kind of loose so you can move things around a little bit.
Get the top in place.
Start those three longer screws.
Once you have them started, go back around and tighten them up.
You tighten them…they need to be tightened lightly.
You want to make sure you don’t strip any of the plastic or anything like that.
Okay.
Once you’ve done that, put the tilt lever back on and reconnect your battery.
Reconnect the battery cable.
We hope this helps you out.
