Default ignition questions

A couple weeks ago I had a post about my ignition shutting off at random times. After rewiring parts of the ignition, and replacing the coil, the problem still persists. I went to the painless wiring website and printed out an engine wiring diagram. I took it to my electronics teacher at school and he told me I may have to adjust my ignition switch. Are the mustang ignition switches adjustable? How do I adjust it properly?

the igntion switches were recalled on the mustangs i'm not sure if it applied to your year but you may just need areplacement, take it to a ford dealer if it is a recall they will fix it for free
