So, that means you have voltage on one side of the switch when the pedal is up, but none when the pedal is depressed, right?

Why is it that there's seldom time to fix it right the first time, but there's always time to fix it right the second time???

That's not an oil leak :nono: That's SWEAT from all that HORSEPOWER!! :thup:

The switch is still available from your Ford dealer, part number DOTZ-13341-B. Be sure to take that part number with you, as their computers don't go back that far and they can't look it up by vehicle. Probably wise to replace both horn carbons as well while you have wheel off. I replaced mine last year, details here http://www.fordification.com/forum/view ... a&start=15 .
