Notice my rear side marker light was out. While pulling out bulb from housing....guess what? Wires broke off in my hand. Insulation on wire cracked, brittle and dried out. I really have to wonder wtf Ford is using for their insulation on the wiring? Way too many wires rotted and broken on a 10 yr old vehicle.
 






I had a Throttle Position sensor code come up and made my ride die. I looked to the sensor to replace it and found the insulation on the wires was the issue. I cut out the bad and put in new. Works like new!
 






I have a catalog of 50 pages of pigtail connectors for Ford. It's in PDF format but I don't know how to post it here. Any advice?
 






You should be able to post it to scribd here and then post a link to the location once it's uploaded.
