I wish I was closer to try to help out man!
Anyhow not sure if it's smart taking the car 3000 miles To the shootout.
Definitely sounds like an ignition switch issue. Pull the trim down around the column and have a look at the switch, as well as the wiring. I had one fail before where the wiring was somewhat burnt up at the connector, and wouldn't make a good contact, and it caused all kinds of weird intermittent electrical gremlins.
That's what they made trailers for................
Yeah I got a motorcraft in order and got the warranty starter just in case. I hope this turns back on the parking lights but I don't see the wiring correlation other than it all failed at the same time.
Some of you are lucky to have them.
I can't be adding one with the frequency I would use it. Take that back I'd be needing it every day at this rate
Someone tell Ricardo he can still get a room.

Ricardo1 - Hey I'm new to the sccoa family. This is my second tbird, but my first time registering. Would you mind sharing with me what kind of front spoiler you have on your blue 94 SC? Ive checked Xenon and couple of others and no luck. I really like the body kit on your car and would love to purchase one for mine.
Respectfully Bro.,
I wasn't aware it had an alarm bro. yeah the alarm valet switch could be the culprit or a number of other things with an alarm. I never installed alarms back when i was doing stereo installs but i would completely disable it if you canWell tore the bottom of the dash apart, and just like magic things start to work as they should.
The lights never worked so I focused on it. Took out the 10amp fuse 3 times and it looked good. The ford dealer alarm made the lights work!!!! So it had to be the switch I though, then I decided to change the fuse for another one that had a different bridge design and I got my lights back. Before that I played with the ignition switch and all looks goo, went though all of the positions, I wanted to just replace the switch with the autozone onthat was in stock, But didn't like the way it was sliding it seems to bind, the ford one stops at each gate well. Going to bet it's the alarm system acting up, I will replace the switch with a motorcraft one for insurance, but I have a hunch the alarm jolted and did something to the parking lights and ignition kill relay. I think I will need to toss it and return all of the ignition wires to factory, it's a splice nightmare I think a 9yo kid was in charge of my installation back in 1994.
From the working window on the truck pulling the trailer.Add to the list power window switch is busted how will I grab toll tickets.
this car goes bad faster than I can address them.
You can install an app on your phone to check driveline angles.
Thank you Ira
Brian and Pat made sure I did. Got it booked, one less thing to worry about.
