Agreed when they are affordable (case in point: FPDM was $316, had to be special ordered at the Ford dealer, was $15 at the junkyard...think I'm taking a chance there)..remember this was a $1300 dollar car...
- I was desperate and paid the price. One would think a company could make something as simple as an ignition switch! (I suggest More beatings, less water breaks at the Far east sweat shop where they made that one.)
I did spray the old switch as best I could with electronics cleaner, tried to get inside the box and let it dry thoroughly. That may have helped.
