Well, got a postcard and a call from Ford. I went to Ford on Friday and Monday the part was in? Must be the "Kit". The postcard came thursday and says Kit on it. So they are going to try the kit. (Big Jim was right as usual)

I suspect they are going to "Foul" (substitute a different 4 letter word here) it up royally. But I can't get a new dash unless I go through the gauntlet of car in shop..repair...car back in shop, repair, car back in shop, repair.

Every time I have dealer work done, it goes the same way. Ny Mercury Villager had a bad connection on the AirBag wiring (under wtty). The replaced the computer twice, replaced all the sensors, and the fourth time, the they gave it to a competent mechanic who cleaned all the connections and it has been fine since.

Having dealer work done is only one step up from having a colonoscopy eek . Or maybe not... eek

:p :p
