ouch, i feel for you, I had a similar problem occur last year. You can get a new pigtail set and replace the stock one with a simple solder job. Unfortunately I don't have time to give you a hand but it should be relatively easy if you've soldered before.

where do i got to get a new pigtale set dealership?

and i have not soldered before...

yeah, I had the same problem when I got my car. The PO had just painted ( ) over the warning light. You just go to the dealership, get a new pigtail, and solder it in. It doesn't take long. If I weren't so far away, I'd help, but...

yeah i think i should be ok the only problem is no dealerships open...so ill have to give steve a call in the morning sometime and go and pick on up

Well, with the ford pigtails, they give you some nice chunks of heat shrink tubing, the stuff with glue in it, so, if you can't solder, you just twist them together really good and heat the heatshrink.

will i need a heat gun for the shrink tube or is a lighter ok like ive seen other people use?

You can use a lighter, just don't get too close or hold it in 1 spot too long...just make sure you get it nice and even all the way around the heat shrink...

well its fixed, called steve today he had the pigtails i picked em up and my baby is as good as new!!

Good to hear, did you end up doing it yourself?

WOW that just sucked.... glad u got that fixed...
