Idle validation switch
I need an idle validation switch. I know they are difficult to find. Would anyone have a source? I can DIY it if I need too?

...and as plentiful as unicorn milk. Good luck finding just the switch, seems to me it's been vapor for over 10 years. Perhaps a salvage yard?

The OEM switch is not the only contact switch made. Their are lots of them out there. They just require a little modding of the pedal bracket.
In my case, I already have the pedal assembly modded to fine tune each switch. Modding the pedal assembly to accept a slightly different switch is minor. But, I guess it's not for everyone.

Can that be done with no ill effects? I'm aware the TPS and IVS are separate units.

Several years ago, I searched and searched for the IVS part number. You can't find it by itself. Seems crazy that's the case and I didn't like buying the whole pedal assembly, but glad I did. If you can mod a switch to make it work that's great. For me, it was money well spent not having to deal with a dead pedal when you need to accelerate.

As you most likely know , the IVS is a throttle override switch . It tells the PCM that its you holding the pedal where it is and is not just stuck . Most any micro switch (NO IIRC) could be modified to work .

Ford invested resources into incorporating an IVS. I have de***ted many things on my truck. The IVS will not be one of them.
Thanks to all of you for your input and have a good weekend.
