glow plug wiring
Hello I found a bad pin and melted connector at my valve cover and went to ford to get a new connector and terminals, they said I will have to buy the hole harness is there anyone that has part number from ford or a outside source for these parts? thanks

Welcome to FTE. Yes, you can fix things without wasting your money at the dealer. If you've got a burnt pin, you will need to closely inspect the harness connector both inside and outside the valve cover, as well as the pass thru connector in the valve cover gasket. Odds are you'll need to replace the valve cover gasket and put a pigtail on the harness. If it's the under valve cover harness, it might be worth just replacing the whole thing instead of worrying about splices being sprayed with oil.
You can probably order the parts from your local auto supply store. Dorman makes these products for the chain stores. You can also check with some of our sponsors as they sell the parts too.

The other side might be autolite GPs as well. You should think about changing those out before they mushroom and won't come out. Autolite GPs are known for that. Then you can check out the UVCH on that side and put in a quarter.
