Steering Column replacement

Asked by Jqp00002 Jan 27, 2019 at 06:37 PM about the 2000 Mercury Sable LS Sedan FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My 2000 Mercury Sable actuator rod broke. I found a car at
the local pap yard. If I change the columns out will this
interfere with the anti theft system?

1 Answer

If you remove the original lock cylinder and pats sensor ring from your column and install it on the replacement column, the anti theft system will not be affected. If a different lock cylinder and key must be used, you will have to have the new key programmed into the pats module by a dealer.
