My drivers side window has been getting hard to operate and I have taken the switch assembly a part several times to times to clean it and it usually works. It is the gang of five switchs that includes the door lock. I was at the dealer to order the vacumm switch that mounts in the air cleaner for the EGR setup. I decided I would price the switch assemby and got a price of $52 so I figure oh what the hell and ordered it. Went to pick it up today and of course it was the wrong one. Parts guy says "I can get you the switch you need tomarrow but it $108". Needless to say I will be cleaning and repairing for the remainder of my ownership. Has any one found a source for these switchs? They are made by EATON (Ford) but I really haven't found a source for them. ;)

I hit the junkyards from time to time and I see the switches all over. The next time I go I'll just get some extra stuff and give you a holla...

I just picked up the drivers side switch assembly off ebay for 15 bucks including the trim piece.

Hi guys thanks for your responses. I have been working a lot of over time lately and not had much time to be here. I finally got the switches working but they are in need of replacement. After all this time does any one have any thing left I would be interested in purchasing a set. I currently don't have to time for the u-pullit route. It is the left side, drivers side with the door lock a total of five switches. Thanks
