Ohio... you can buy it separate, and mine did not some with the clock spring on my 97. I've always been able to find them via searching "key chime switch". I have an actual Ford one in a bag, somewhere. Mine needs replaced too.

Found one on Ebay.

Hell... maybe mine did come with one. I certainly don't remember replacing that part of it, but it's not like it's hard. I did it in 2016, so my memory could be a little behind.



Original clock spring:



New Juan.

Just switched from Malwarebytes to Bitdefender... got a waaaaaay better deal. Might have mentioned that before, but anyway - when I've been logging into the forum lately, I get this message:



Which then says:


So I found this in the cookies and blocked it, and I'll let you know if that fixes it.

Ouch! Thanks, White. That's the one, but for that price, I might just pay closer attention.

Thanks, COS. That eBay link shows the part I need.

I just got done plowing my driveway and the neighbor's. It is *cold* out there, but the gear kept me warm. Electric socks, polypropylene long johns, snowmobile pants, Columbia jacket, and boots, full-face helmet and gloves. Grip/thumb warmers help dramatically as well. The only things cold are my tush and my cheeks. (Can't keep the helmet visor closed or it frosts up).



EDIT: I'm glad I didn't have to be up and outside a couple of hours ago!

Anyone know what consumables I'm gonna need to pull the front driveshaft (drivers side one to the 4wd). Trying to pull the downpipes to "clean" them since the header is off from being welded. Are the u joints the same part number as the main, because I have two already, and I assume there's a shaft seal or two involved. These haven't been off since factory, as I had to cut off factory exhaust clamps to get the downpipes loose.

So I returned my laptop to Dell after the $88 non-fix. After a week of no follow-up, called them to find out they haven't even touched it because "somehow they missed it". This whole experience has been one incomprehensible SNAFU after another and I'm about to snap.

I don't know what happened to Dell, but they are an absolute ****show of a company.
