It is on the news 1994 thru 2003. Faulty cruise control switch made by Texas instruments. Same switch as before on other models. Recalling as a precaution accordlying to Ford
How much disassembly of the colum will replacing that switch require, I am wondering if it would be a good opportunity to replace the harness that is known to chafe.

Ford Recalls Super Duty Diesel trucks 93-97, 99-03
Looks like the burn down has gotten some attention..
Tuesday's recall includes the following Ford models: 1995-2003 Windstars, 2000-2003 Excursion diesels, 1993-1997 and 1999-2003 F-Super Duty diesels, 1992-2003 Econolines, 1995-2002 Explorers and Mercury Mountaineers, 1995-1997 and 2001-2003 Rangers and 1994 F35 motorhomes.
I know many of these switches are under the hood, but i had the switch under my dash go bad. i ended up by passing the part where the clutch auto disengages the cc. Is this the same part?
"Ford is notifying customers and instructing them to take vehicles to dealers for a complimentary installation of a fused wiring harness that will eliminate the risk of fires, the NHTSA said."
Sounds like some fix.... not.

It is a Very wet fall. Might need Hip waders. Next on the list is Snow, and that could be any day.
CNN said this will start on Oct. 26. I guess they need time to ship harnesses Sounds like fuseable link harness so if part does fail it just blows fuse instead of burning truck to ground. So keep that in mind if fuse blows they still need to replace the troubled CC switch for free if it does fail, I would think ?
Stopped by my Dealer today with my '97 F350 PSD and they looked at the part and then placed a new fused harness between the plug and the existing cable that was plugged onto the switch. Took all of 4 minutes to do.
Got to go back with my '02 F350 PSD for them to check that one.

Does any one have any idea as to the cost of the part in question?
This Band-Aid way of life is sick....
Fix it right the first time and enjoy life more.
