Missing dome light switch! Replacement?

Postby waxonstudio » Sun Jul 23, 2017 11:45 pm

I just bought a used 2011 Transit Connect XLT Wagon, got it home, and realized the switch is missing between the reading lights above the dash. No switch, just a spring inside. Currently it must be switched to OFF because the cargo lights don't come on whether the doors are open or closed.

I've searched the internet for a replacement but can't find one (so far). Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Nope, I've never done that! Tell me, how do I know if there's a Transit Connect of my year at a scrapyard ahead of time? What's the standard practice? Do I call ahead or just go out and wander around trying my luck? (Beginner question, I know)

Rule of scrap yard,

Go in, find stuff that looks good (from any vehicle), buy it, go home and make the bugger fit your vehicle :wink:

You will probably find a few different fords use the same switch. N
