the other day i hoped in the ute and went to start it and the button you press was gone, it had broken at the bottom and the spring behind it poped it out onto the floormat.

i know i can get this fixed but has anyone else had or even heard of this happening before?
I have no idea how the hell this even happened, b*lls*it really for the elite level of vehicle from ford. Im real pissed off with this one.

why the need for the buttom anyway? you have to put the key in to push the button to start, whats the difference between that and a quick twist? waste of money IMO

thats the whole point that pisses me off, im not fitting it to an XR6 so i dont need the whole loom set up! just the $2 plastic button. Assholes!

car is off warranty as of last week - its an October 05' F6 but ill still try

if not ill just ebay one from someone for $300.

Everyone that says why bother with the start button..............., its class. Thats why they're only on FPV's. I think every FPV owner will agree with me on that one.

thanks for your help guys and yer i spelt niZpro correctly this time haha
