This document is an exploded parts diagram of a Ford steering column and ignition lock cylinder assembly. It illustrates the upper cover casting (3D505), steering wheel locking pin (3E718), turn signal switch, hazard flasher switch, key warning buzzer terminal and wire harness, snap rings (3C610), bearing (3E700), spring clip (3E701), drive gear (3E717), upper actuator (3E723), lower actuator (3E715), ignition rod (11A599), lock cylinder (11582), Allen screw retainer assembly (3499, 3 required), and quick coupler. Fastener quantities are noted: 2 mounting screws for one bracket, 4 cover casting mounting screws, 1 mounting screw for the buzzer terminal, and 3 Allen screws in the retainer assembly. Two important service notes are included: an inset detail stating that the last tooth on the drive gear must engage the last notch on the actuator for correct installation, and instructions that to release the lock cylinder, a wire pin must be inserted in the hole with the key in the ON position and the shift lever in Park. This diagram is useful for anyone disassembling or reassembling a Ford tilt/steering column, replacing an ignition lock cylinder, or repairing the turn signal, hazard, or key warning buzzer switches, as it identifies part relationships and Ford base part numbers.
