2004 Explorer XLT Ignition cylinder replacement

[cbexplore]

I’m trying to replace my ignition cylinder but can’t find any videos specific to the 04 for replacing it. No little hole under the starting column. I have the key and a programmable new cylinder with no key.
I have the column cover off but the PATS covers the cylinder removal hole and I don’t want to damage it trying to remove it.
The PATS is unplugged but goes into a fairly large wiring harness covering the bottom of the cylinder access.
Any help is appreciated.

Pretty sure you have to remove the PATS module enough to gain access to the release nub, which may be slightly forward (towards seat) of straight downward facing.

Thanks I figured out I had to disconnect the PATS wiring loom to get to the the release hole.
