[QUOTE="antny024, post: 1040097, member: 75533"] The ignition lock cylinder is most likely going bad. The tumblers get worn down much like a key does. 1st if you have one key that is less worn than the other, try using that key. If it continues to happen the lock cylinder will need to be replaced. It's common on older Fords. I replaced mine after 17 years. It's a relatively easy job to do. ONLY use a Motorcraft part! DO NOT buy an aftermarket part... (I've been doing this for a LONG time. Aftermarket isn't worth the hassle) I had to wait a few days to get one from my local dealer, aftermarket either won't work at all or only last a short time.
