2008-2011 Ford Focus/ Escape/ Mariner No Crank No Start

In this video I go over a common cause of a "no crank/ no start" symptom on some 2008-2011 Ford Focus, Escape and Mercury Mariner vehicles. This common cause is a failed ignition lock housing. This is the part that goes between the ignition lock cylinder (the part you insert the key into) and the ignition switch. The way in which this part fails is that it does not transfer the rotation of the key to the ignition switch thus causing a no crank/ no start symptom. Typically, when the ignition lock housing is at fault, you can push the key into the tumbler and then rotate it to get the vehicle to start.

Note: I do not guarantee that this part is the cause of your "no crank/ no start" symptom. I'm only sharing a common cause of this symptom. I always suggest having your vehicle properly diagnosed to ensure that the proper parts are replaced for repair. Also, I may be off a year, plus or minus, concerning the vehicles that are affected by this common issue. Verify by doing your own research. Also, I do believe that Mazda Tributes may be affected by this as well. However, I have not had experience with this vehicle in regards to this issue.

This is the link to the part shown in the video. Please verify that this part is the correct one for your vehicle. Parts may differ from year to year and by application. This on is for an 09 Focus. There will be a bar at the top of the screen that you can verify fitment.
