Yes, replace it now. Don't delay, don't drive it until you do. In fact, you should disconnect the battery until you do. Your car is at extreme risk to catch fire right now.

After replacing the Defective ignition switch and most likely the connector. Dont forget to replace the connector. SLAVE IT OUT> Or the FORD gremlins will return at a later DATE!!!!! You can count on that. Trust me on this one!!!!
