I just read on another post that if the third brakelight is burnt the cruise won't work....mine was so i tried it.
So the switch itself on the wheel? what's the clockspring?

the service mgr there said to check the two-prong plug on the master cylinder to see if it was unplugged in lieu of the recall- he said a lot were incorrectly unplugged. i didn't see any 'two' prong plugs on the MC, only the three prong plug directly beneath the MC cap. what should i be looking for with this "switch plugin" hoopla?!?!
PS- i did find a plug- two pronged- unplugged from whatever it used to be plugged into, and wrapped in black tape. it looked rather mangled. altho there was no place to plug this 'plug' in on the master cyl, it looked like that was closed to the only place to plug it into- it had a short lead and was laying on the power distribution box. the only avail plug on the MC was still plugged in, the one directly below the mc cap, with three wires. on the very end of the MC on the top, there was a brass plug, that I thought looked strange. is that typical?

I stole this quote from a diff thread
Does "closed" switch mean I can just splice the wires and be done with it? Only down fall being my cc won't shut off when the brakes are pressed?

go to ford have them look at it and tell you if you need to get that part and hook it up.
if it was not supposed to be unhooked because it was not part of the recall than it should work if you hook it back up.

that leads me to yet another question (can you tell this is a new truck I'm not used to) how should the pedal feel on this truck vs my 01 v6 f150? the truck stops just fine(or seems to) but the pedal feels a little(not a lot) spongy. is that typical for a diesel? my buddy said his is the same so i wasn't overly worried about it.
