Iwas confused (and still am a little), that is why I postes the subject. When I went into the ford dealer I told the parts guy that I knew my truck was not part of the recall but I had the same defective switch that that is in the models that are being recalled. I want to buy the new switch anyway and replace it myself. He typed my info into the computer and pulled me out the new switch.
The new switch is different than the current one and I didn't see a fuse link in the new wiring harness. I have a friend that is a diesel master tech, I'll give him a shout and see what he says.

Take this seriously guys I had a 94 F-250 burn down, along with my friends garage and about 150000 worth of tools. Bad news, fire inspector suspects electrical fire most likely from this switch or the ignition mondule.

I went through this recall the first time in 2003 with my wifes Expedition, I recieved the fused link. I asked the Master tech at my local dealership about my truck and he said it was fine since it was not a constant hot circuit in the diesel. I may go pick one up in the A.M, just for piece of mind. Thanks guys.
