im wrapping up my 5 lug swap and finally installing the parking brake components and low and behold i cant find the parking brake switch. i know its not necessary for the fucntion but my question is: will a switch from a 94 work? i found one on rockauto for the 94 and later cars but nothing for the foxes.

i dont remember what the fox one looks like, so i was hoping to just use this one. it looks like it would work. ill check the dealers this week. thanks for the help.

Well, that looks like it, but I haven't seen a fox switch in 2-3 years so not very sure

Worse case scenario you could always put a sensor in the brake line like I did. I had to when I raised the pivot point on my brake pedal.

i ordered the piece from the second link, after a trip to the yard yielded no mustangs. i guess thats a good thing in a way. the ford dealer said its a discontinued piece.
