FORD TAURUS 1993 SHO CRUISE CONTROL PRESSURE SWITCH ON BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER BURNED. ON THIS MODEL THIS CIRCUIT SHARES THE SAME FUSE WITH THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS. LUCKILY I NOTICED THE LOSS OF BRAKE LIGHTS RIGHT AWAY AND DISCONNECTED THE BURNED CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH AND REPLACED THE FUSE. DRIVING WITHOUT REAR BRAKE LIGHTS IS A DEFINITE HAZARD. MY VEHICLE IS NOT LISTED IN THE RECALL WITH THE NEARLY 1 MILLION F-150S AND CROWN VICTORIAS BUT I SUSPECT THAT THE SWITCH IS FROM THE SAME VENDOR. FORD HAS AN IMPROVED SWITCH AVAILABLE AND I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE RECALL. THANKS PETER BURBANK
