It's been two tanks so far. So, I guess, I'll have to wait some more....

Alas, there really are momentary switches in the two front outside door
handles. And, yes, the wiring from the switches goes to the light delay
module.

When I was working inside the front doors dealing with those #$ %&
inaccessible electric lock motors (rivited), I noticed that the light
switch wiring inside the door isn't secured, and can easily get mauled
by a frustrated person trying to work on the $#I(R$& lock mechanism.
Remember that any door light switch can set off that computer and can
therefore run down the battery from an intermittant make/break contact
caused by an abraded wire or mis-aligned pin switch.

I do not know what they use for brains at Ford.

The automatic transmission in my '88 Bronco II died with a loud BANG! The
motor still runs, but nothing happens in any gear, not even any unusual
noises. Being the kind of person I am, and knowing nothing about
....
