Hey all,
I've searched the forums and there are quite a few posts related to this but they are a little old. My ignition switch is bad. No big deal there, the switches are pretty easy to find. What's not easy to find is the connector pigtail. The one on my car has some serious heat damage to it. The battery wire has the insulation melted off, and the plastic around the socket on the connector has been hot enough to melt (same with the switch). I visited my local Ford dealer yesterday. He knew exactly what I was looking for (rattled off the rest of the part number before I could finish). D1AZ-11572-C. Knew that part came with a pig-tail. Even looking it up in a old set of Ford books confirmed it was supposed to come with the pigtail. The one he had didn't have the pigtail. He called three other places; same deal. No pigtail.
I need the pigtail. Any ideas where to get one? I've searched the web and eBay. I have a few feelers out to eBay sellers, asking them if the pigtail is included. Still waiting to hear back. And, I'm still searching.
I'm not ready to replace that wiring harness yet.
