I am in need of a rear window defrost switch (dash mounted) for a 1994 Mercury Tracer Trio. I cannot find it online . I have looked at many online stores...and nothing. I will call the dealer this week, but thought I could save a couple of buck online.
"Safety was kicked up a few notches for 1994 when a driver airbag debuted for all Escorts, as did optional antilock brakes (ABS) for the GT model. To the chagrin of enthusiasts, the feisty LX-E was dropped from the lineup. A "One Price" marketing scheme was instituted, offering buyers the choice of any LX model, equipped with air conditioning, power steering and a rear window defroster, for the same price.
Those bummed out by the death of the Escort LX-E could simply go to their Mercury dealer and buy its surviving twin, the Tracer LTS, which could now be equipped with ABS /unquote
Than is a common misconception but the only Tracers that were versions of a Mazda where the 1988 to 1990. As of 91, till its demise, the Tracers were a variation of the Escort.
Thanks for the additional info. I am not helpless...just need to be steered in the right direction. Have been to many many websites that sell replacement parts. The "rear window defrost relay switch" seems to be a ghost or seldom seen part. I have thought about the local junk yards. Wanted to see if I could buy the part new online first.
