"Federal investigators say the problem may stem from a deactivation switch on the cruise control."
Does anybody know where this "cruise control-deactivation switch" is located on our rigs?

Hey guys, I saw another video report on this and it stated that the cruise control had just previously failed and quit working on many of the vehicles that caught fire. Just a little something to think about and get checked if your cruise has gone bad.

"The problem appears to be the deactivation switch which is located at the brake master cylinder.
You may want to unplug the connector at the switch.
However, the speed control will not operate with this connector unpluged.
The switch is right in front of the resevoir for the brake fluid.
Disconnecting it should not effect anything else.
There is voltage to the switch even with the key off and the switch may be shorting out."

Perhaps this will finally convince Ford to stop using Greenpeace as their supplier of this component.
