Gas Gauge is on the FRITZ!

Ok well I got the work done but ran into a little snag. The plug for the sending unit was disinegrated. I called Ford to see about getting a new fuel tank harness and they told me they discontinued it. WTF? :mad: :bang: :notnice:
I just had to make do with the wires and connectors.
Anyone else had this happen when trying to order a part?
