| Ford recall #05s28 indicates a potential fire hazard in my speed control deactivation switch which may leak causing a underhood fire. ford wants to put a fuse in the wiring harness to prevent this from happening. why would ford not want to change the scds switch that might be leaking instead? *tr | |||
