I thought about the magnet, but my local dealer would have to order it and it was $30. I need to get this car back on the road. Besides, it has survived 180,000 miles just fine without a magnet.

I'm optimistic that my issue will be fixed.
I put the magnet in my 96 and when I got it I realized it was the same magnet that was in my 93 Ford Taurus. I'm sure its cheaper from Ford.
