this is going to sound strange, but I would like to know if the 97 ranger has two keys, one for the ign iton and another for the doors. I have never used my key in the door of my truck and today I found out that they do not work. Maybe my key cylender has been changed by last owner. Just do not know
Thanks Steve

 

yea sounds like the ign cylinder was replaced...my car was like that and so is my moms saturn

 

Older fords had two. My 85 bronk was like that. Idk when then switched to one though.

 

i think they switched over in the early 90s

 

My 94 was like that.
but i changed it over. just went to the junkyard and took some out of an Exploder, doors and ign is the same.

 

Yea your 97 should use just 1 key

 

Thanks Guys, i will just take the locks to the key shop and have them rekeyed. Good thing I have a battery in my key fob, LOL

 

Oh wow... I completely forgot that older cars had two different keys. I remember my parent's cars having two.

Wow.

 

Old GMs were like that too. Their set up was different. Square key was to start the block. Round key unlocked the door. At least that's how I remembered it to get in and start my buick

 

my '96 only has 1
