• Replaces Original Exactly
• Fits 1978-1979 Ford Truck

Your Ford Truck's ignition switch allows the battery to send a powerful surge of electricity to the starter when the truck is being started. Without this switch in good working order, you are dead in the water…or the parking lot. It also allows you to control many of the car's accessories when the car is parked while preventing accessories from running down the battery. Sometimes located on the dash or steering column, replacement can be easy with basic mechanical knowledge, hand tools and afternoon. Always reference your service shop manual before tackling an electrical project like this. Nothing is worse then a dead truck. Breathe some new life into your baby with a high quality, new ignition switch from MAC's.

HINT: For Automatic Transmission, If the engine will not crank with the car in park, push down the brake pedal and try cranking the engine with the car in neutral. If it starts, your ignition switch is good and most likely your neutral safety switch is bad.  This test is bypassing the park position in the switch and now is using the little used neutral circuit. If in neutral the engine starts the neutral safety switch is probably bad. We have the widest selection of neutral safety and back-up switches in the industry to get you back on the road.

1978-1979 Ford F100-F350 Truck ignition switch replaces the faulty original restoring the current flow necessary to start the engine.
