Consumer Description

VEHICLE BLEW THE #10 15 AMP FUSES TWICE, AFTER THAT ELECTRICAL SMOKE POURED INTO THE CAB AND STOPPED WHEN VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. ALSO, THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT WAS ON. ON AUGUST 22,2008 I PUT 1/2 A BOTTLE OF BRAKE FLUID IN. UPON INSPECTION I FOUND THE BRAKE PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL DEACTIVATION SWITCH(REPLACEMENT PART #SW-6351) WAS LEAKING INTO THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR AND ONTO THE WIRE HARNESS BELOW. ON AUGUST 27, 2008 I PURCHASED REPLACEMENT PART (SW-6351) FOR $22 FROM MY LOCAL FORD DEALER. OLD PART IS AVAILABLE. *TR
