When I was doing my part out a few years ago, I finally ordered a pack of USPS flat rate game board boxes. They are free to order. I found those fit quite a few different parts without having to make a box, and they'd ship for the normal large flat rate box price.

That won't help you out in this case (unless you put two together, which USPS won't like), but they are very useful for shipping car parts in general.

Hi!! I just got a 2000 Limited. The dome light for the drivers side doesn't work... you push the button and there is no feedback, no click or anything. Just feels like it's hanging there. We haven't taken it in anywhere yet, it's a time and money thing. In your experience, do you think one of these switches would fix the issue? ( Obviously not a mechanic here... please forgive me!!)

Hi Marie, welcome to FTE. This is the best site to get help to fix your Ford. Unfortunately you posted in the free parts thread. Create a new thread with the problem you have with a good title so everyone can see it.

One of what switch? You didn't provide a link with your post so we have no clue what you're talking about. Plus, as Pitcrw6 stated, you've posted in the free parts thread. You need to start a new thread describing your problem completely so we can address your issue and provide you with tech help.

Maybe she is referring to the #13 post on page 1 of this thread, assuming that those switches are what she needs.

I'm of the same mind (that post has been aged out now, BTW, but you can see my reference to it in the current post #2), but I don't like to assume, so I post what the problem is and let the user sort out their miscommunication.

It's not crazy, it's pruning.

Just FYI, that info and all other information relevant for this thread can be found in the first post.
