I thought you were referring to "crew cab" since it is in the supercrew forum... I wondered what kind of a "fix" there was, maybe to make it a regular cab.

 

I just got mine back from the dealer Had the CC disconnected April 6th call yesterday they had parts dropped it off this morning and its back and running.

 

Mine was replaced 4/27 in SoCal - they had just got a shipment of parts

 

Hmmm, methinks I need to call my local Ford dealership.

 

Mine was fixed April 26th!

 

does anyone know how much it would cost to have the CC fixed ( since mine doesn't fall under the recall...yet) thanks........

 

If yours has not been recalled, there is no need to fix it unless the switch has failed and is leaking. The recalled vehicles do not have a fuse to protect the wiring in the event of a short, causing the wiring to heat up and start a fire. The non-recalled vehicles have a fuse in that circuit to protect it.

To answer your question, the new switch is available from Ford for $15. It does not fix anything in your case, simply replaces a pressure switch with one of a different design.

'CC' is a pretty common descriptor in the automotive world.
When you guys that didn't know what 'CC' was
look in vehicle publications and see that stuff what are you thinking?

AC
CC

then why are other vehicles besides the ones recalled catching on fire?

 

For the same reasons ANY vehicle can catch fire.... dropping a lit cigarette between the seats, parking over brush without a heat shield on the cats, parking it in a garage which catches fire, fuel vapors in the wrong place at the wrong time..... short in an unrelated wiring harness under the hood..... so far there has been no conclusive evidence to link the alleged faulty switches to the other fires. I've heard of claims by fire investigators, but they're not engineers, and I don't see how they could determine the ignition source from a pile of ashes and rubble that's been thoroughly power-washed by a fire hose. (ever seen one after it's burnt to a crisp?)

Is it possible that the 15A fuse in some vehicles can't protect from arcing that causes the fluid to ignite? Sure. That's why we're investigating it. All we know for sure at this point is that the ones that are recalled do not have a fuse to protect the wiring from a melt-down should it short out. The rest is all speculation at this point.

As I said before, if it makes you feel better, change it, fuse it, disconnect it, park it in front of the neighbor's house, or whatever it takes to make you happy.

I fixed my "at risk" Brake sensor switch with the new part last week.
Problem now is the CC Light on the Dash Panel doesn't come on when you turn on the CC.
Any ideas out there?
Thanks.

 

What year is it?

97 4.6 V8

 

Well that would explain it: '97 doesn't have a light.

Does mine 92 have the fuse in the cruise switch. I'm not sure and kinda worried after seeing the CNN report yesterday.
