If the switch you need is the one Scott linked don't waste money on Ebay or at a specialty parts house, that is Dorman 901-017. I just used one to repair the power window switches on my Ford f250.

I think all the manufactures used the same design or looking switch but the difference is in the plug in or the pins.

Right, I had to modify the pins on the Dorman 901-017 to fit the Ford plug. Nothing 10 minutes with a Dremel couldn't fix.
