- 1995 XLT
I have a 1995 XLT and just replaced the ignition lock cylinder with one from Auto Zone and it obviously is not a correct match. 1) Always chimes when the drivers door is opened after the key is removed. 2) Does not always start when turned and seems to take extra effort. 3) After sitting overnight, when starting, the door locks all lock and unlock or vice/versa.
I plan to return it, but am not sure which alternative to pick for a correct fit. FordPartsOnline sells one but it is $117 because my truck was made before May 1995. I saw another one at http://www.autopartsdeal.com/catalo...der_and_switch&brand_name=motorcraft&s=1&my=1 for $41 that claims to be Motorcraft. It matches the VIN on my truck, with the "X". This is more in my price range, but I do not want to get another one that does not work correctly. Has anyone experience with this issue? Finally, does the Key description, No. 1 Cut letter A or No. 3 Cut letter C make any difference?; Thanks, I just joined last week, but have had the Explorer about 6 years.
