1990 E350 overdrive switch replacement
Looking to buy a camper van. The OD switch is broken (as in multiple pieces). Is the switch assembly still available from Ford parts counters? Found used ones online but would rather have new. Need to make a decision on this before the dealers open on Monday. If you know a part number that would be a plus. This is the dash mounted switch to the left of the steering column. TIA.

I have no idea, but if not, the switch itself is nothing special. It is just a normally open momentary contact switch. Anywhere that sells electronic parts would have one of those for dirt cheap.

Can you describe what it looks like, does it have a light, is it rectangle shaped?
Scan through these pics..

Here are some others, does it look like one of these? Often on ebay the parts might be listed for a Bronco or F series but and not E series but will fit..

I am familiar with this switch. It is just to the left of the steering column and has an amber light. This is a dealer only item and it's not obsolete! Call your local Ford dealer parts department and ask for it.

Switch from an 87-91 bronco would work. Same switch, slightly different mounting system. Van version has metal spring tabs on side, bronco version has two ears with screw holes and it screws in from the back. You can get creative with the mounting or transfer the new switch into the old switch housing (basically just need to reuse back half of the old switch housing).

Any trunk release or fuel door release switch you find at a junkyard would work
I would just plug that number into ebay and google and find a NOS switch (wrong)
ebay item # 185640848925 is a NOS F350 OD cancel switch seal similar to the one you need for your van
Be Spock and mind meld it into your van
It's a E9TZ-A in Houston free shipping 69.99
