Lightbulb TFI ignition module

I hear some people keep an extra ignition module with them, just in case it dies on them in the middle of knowhere. I was thinking of buying another one, can't hurt to have I figure, but it's almost $75. That's kind of an expensive thing to take up half my glove box just incase I may need it. Any opinions on the idea? thanks!

Next time you visit the junkyard, look around for one there. Just test it before you leave. You'll need a special tool to get to the screws, but it's not expensive.

That's a good idea! I think I have the tool, too. Now, how the heck do you test one of these things?

I got the biggest piece of crap EVER from Autozone...$4.99 and it has a lifetime warrenty.....needless to say it stripped out the HEX part and broke the aluminum..I took it back and got another...that one was broken from the factory...junk junk junk!

Anyway..there are 2 bolts inside the module..there is a clearance hole on the upper right and the lower left of the module.

Buy a new one,(not from FORD), install it and keep the old one as a spare.

most of the ones sitting in junkyards are perfectly fine, i would go to a you-pull-it parts junkyard....couldn't be more than 10 bucks. The best way to test it is to hook it up.
