Well after a few months of living with the problem. Finally got around to buying a switch and installing. Motivation was fact that local ford's were asking 90$ for part, scored new one on ebay for 19.99$ plus 9$ shipping. Was a steal, no one else bid. Part # 98AZ-11572-A or SW-6343.
The Problem i was having, was that every time i hit a large bump or pothole (and god knows we have our share of those here in Quebec) the interior lights would come on. I would have to wiggle my key to get lights to go off. Even just hitting the steering column would trigger it. All good now.
Here are a few pic. This was a really simple job.
First off. Disconnect the battery for about 15mins to discharge the SRS system
Switch and instructions
remove these 2 screws
Remove these 3 screws
Here is the faulty switch
Remove connecter on side. Then push in the two tabs one on top other bottem of switch and pull out to remove.
Removed
Part number already posted above
New switch installed and pluged back in
reinstall cover in reverse order of removal
Hope this helps someone
