Online at RockAuto you can get one shipping included for about $64 but you would be out of business for a few days. Replaced mine in January, no problems yet. Look it up and print out the page then take it to Ford to show the service manager how much he is ripping you off by. They should give you a replacement
Before you replace it, look on the outside of the frame under the drivers door and there is a plastic splash guard "protecting" a couple of wiring harnesses. remove it and see how much wet gravel is collected inside of it. Mine was full to the top and one of those wire harnesses goes directly to the FPDM! Really I was shocked by how much wet soil and gravel was in there, probably weighed about 8 pounds!

I know, right? I had like 10 lbs of road gravel in there and the only reason I took it off was to relieve the fuel pressure in the lines to change my fuel filter! I've been meening to bend some sheet metal to make a cap for it.
