Where did you get the wrong cable and does it have a part number? What's wrong with it? Too long? Wrong end? Aftermarket parts tend to be wrong, and everyone sells the same wrong part.

Wrong cable

The cable i got i believe on ebay is Ford DOHZ-18552-A. Both ends are have to mounting plastic ends. Plus is about 18” to short. Ill try and figure what it goes to and try to find the right cable.
