Howdy!!! Heres a little about myself. Im VERY new to cars and trucks, but im an expert with antique farm equiptment, 1930s and 1940s. Im 15 and this is my 94 ranger, my beloved purple truck. When i got it it was pretty screwed up, but im working out the kinks.

Im a wanna be mechanic and i decided to start documenting everything i do to post to youtube for all those like me who know nothing about these great little veichles and want to learn.

I started today with my ignition switch replacement. Gonna be fun. Instructions simply said to depress release button. So i looked at the one other colum type it had and said to remove steering wheel and this and that. Really spsific. Really Nice.

The video pretty much documents what i did today, and where i am. It is the beginning of my how-to video i'll post to youtube when the new switch is in. Please help me out here.

Heres the link to my video. Thanks in advance.

My '92 ranger has the 'poke hole' so your '94 should. The hole is more or less from the bottom and about 1/8th in. diameter. If you didn't see a poke hole, why didn't you pull the steering wheel instead of using the BFH??
