    The ignition switches on your era Ford were recalled for some models - they would short out while the car was sitting in the garage with the car off and burn peoples houses down.

    Here is an example of the switch and what would happen to them. Mine was just like this when I found it wasn't working.

    Your absolutely right Pennyman, though I don't think mine was on the list. I did find something about the dash cluster being replaced though on the door jam on a sticker.
