waxonstudio Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I just bought a used 2011 Transit Connect, got it home, and realized the switch is missing between the reading lights above the dash. No switch, just a spring inside. Currently it must be switched to OFF because the cargo lights don't come on whether the doors are open or closed. I've searched the internet for a replacement but can't find one (so far). Anyone have any ideas? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waxonstudio Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 Thanks, mrtn. I see you're in the EU, I'm in the States, but maybe you can answer anyway: Tell me, how do I know if there's a Transit Connect of my year at a scrapyard ahead of time? What's the standard practice? Do I call ahead or just go out and wander around trying my luck? (Beginner question, I know) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtn Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I have used a website which is like a broker for scrapyards, I fill in my car make, model, year and the required part. They will make a query to all their partners and I will get and answer right away. It's a free service. If you don't have such a service in your area then it's better to give them a call or visit their websites, usually they list all cars the have available as parts.
