XG ignition barrel and door locks

[XTREME KARTS XF 1,212]

The ignition barrel in my XD ute is wornout (you can take the key out in ACC and ON postions) and i was woundering if the XG ignition barrel will fit the XD steering column? And will the XG door locks work with the XD-XF door mechanism's?

I need new locks and keys for my new xf. Xg may be the way to go

Door locks use different cam style to x series, the fit straight in but you cannot use them to open the doors.

The ign barrle fits and works but you need the xf style shroud. The low profile shroud wont fit ovee as the mechanisms body is larger

You can grind all the excess casting off and they fit nicely. Or use an XG column-auto shroud (look like XD/XE style)

Is it possible to use an XG column and ignition, but use the XF barrel, so that the smart lock works and the XF locks match the ignition.

This is for a XG into XF engine & driveline swap.

[Crazy2287 1,886]

IMO... Horrible idea. You do not want to keep the XF ign barrel if you have a choice. They are TOOOOOO easy to pick. Tibbi locks are a lot safer/harder to pick. Use the XG barrel.

To actually answer your Question, I have never done it. But if you can put an XG barrel on an XF column, then you should be able to fit an XF barrel to an XG column.

no wont work the key its self is part of the smart lock system

[XFute-1JZsoarer 140]

I know how bad they are, but don't really have a choice, the key I got with the XG ignition is stuffed, so doesn't work.

Besides, a kill switch is already installed for that reason (guess it works, it's been broken into, never taken though)

I found brand new XG ignition barrels (with 2 keys) on eBay for $44 shipped, but doesn't come with door locks

And I don't really want to change all the door locks to match a new key if I don't have too.

If smartlock is disabled with a J3 chip (ordering one this week), do you think it would work?

[Crazy2287 1,886]

Go to ford and get a new ign barrel + key. They are like $20 or something fkn cheap like that. I got both doors, boot and ign barrel with 2 keys as a kit for like... $70? Was ages ago but give that a try. If not go to a wreckers and get a second hand one for $10.

I'm not going to say how for obvious reasons, PM if you wanna know, but seriously. If you change the barrel to the X series barrel then there is about a 50/50 chance someone could get in and drive off with your car faster than you could using your actual key. It don't work with all of them but it did with all mine so mine both have Tibbi locks now.

[Tyler06 266]

100% obsolete now. We are still waiting on a new manufacturer.

[Crazy2287 1,886]

Well that's no fkn good. Disregard what i said about new ign barrels then. Is that right through ea-ef as well as i think they barrels are interchangeable?...

[Tyler06 266]

I only know that the xg/ h stuff is obsolete. Unsure on other barrels.

Don't want to sound negative but has someone previously said that xg locks won't work in xf doors as they have different internals? Not 100% sure but I thought I had read it on another thread. I have been caught out trying to fix an xg door internal latch as they are like an eb ed setup which I different to xf.

[Crazy2287 1,886]

That is correct. This is for the IGN barrel only.

Correct, a lot of fuckin around to make it work.

[XFute-1JZsoarer 140]

An ED barrel should go in shouldn't it?

I didn't think anything from ford would be that cheap! Lol

And how do I take the ignition off the column, it looks like it uses one of those break-away bolts?

(You know the ones where the bolt head snaps off when it's torqued up)

[Crazy2287 1,886]

Yes, You have to rig something up to get it undone

 

Sometimes you can hit the edge of the bolt head with a chisel and hammer to turn it. Or you gotta drill, cut or grind it or tack weld something to it and turn it out.
