I just bought the haynes manual for it. i too have a 73 Mark Iv. id be glad to scan and post whichever diagram u need, its splits it up into different circuits. tell me wat u need. And if u know anything about the ignition switch in this car, it would be greatly apreciated, im soo screwed :(, i need to get this problem fixed as soon as possible. I cant turn the car back into the off position so i have to pull the coil everytime i wanna shut the car off. so i took apart the column, start pokin around and found that at teh end of the ignition lock there is a little sprocket with a bunch of teeth, i think some of these teeth are broken off, Could that be my problem? should i just replace the whole column???? AHH Help please. Anyone. Help....... please. please.
-------------
I love my car.......... a lot.
