Anyone have a good go-to for obsolete parts? I'm looking for an ignition switch for a 96 ford Escort wagon, 1.9/5spd manual, LX model. The kicker is the manuf date. My car was built 01/96. Everything I've found is only good until 12/01/95.
Contacted local ford dealer and he had nothing showing anywhere. Motorcraft number is SW5154. Doesn't have to have the lockset, but if it has the right switch I'm willing to go that route. My understanding is that the one I need has a 2 and 4 prong connector, while the one that's readily available in both motorcraft and aftermarket has a 2 and 6 prong connector.
The 96 escort is a red headed step child, as apparently this switch was only on about six months of production. The 97 model is completely different and won't work.
