Thank you all. Yes the first part was a motorcraft part. Silly thing of that part is that i can not find the receipt and the ford parts department will not exchange the part with me because i do not have the part and the service counter lady who did remember me and the part being purchased from her, can not and will not help. Bummer...
Did not replace the harness. the harness looks and appears to be just fine; no burnt residue, not black/white discoloration, or any disfigured molding or wires. Did not think of the condensation possibly being a possibility.... Could there be fuses that would be the issue?....
