If it's a '88 & hasn't been already replaced under the recall, Ford will do it for free...

To replace it you take apart the plastic covering the steering column. The you take out the two  bolts holding the switch onto the column. Then you unplug it. Then you plug in the new one bolt it down. Install the plastic your done. I do believe the new switch comes set in the on position. You can pick one up at any parts store. I tell you to spring for one with a lifetime warranty that way if you need to replace it again you are covered. Then also make sure you look over the pigtail/plug in closely. Those can get old, brunt, broken and cause you many problems. Easy to replace while you have things apart.

Do you just walk in and have them pull up the records?  Im sure theyll say they dont keep that far back.

Is this true? Do they honor recalls that far back? Hell it's worth a shot.
