| EXTERIOR LIGHTING - BRAKE LIGHTS | |||

| This seems to be a major problem with this vehicle. i do all my own servicing and as indicated this is the 5 failure. indications are speed control does not suspend and the exterior brake lights do not illuminate. in every case i have disassembled the device and the electrical contacts are pitted and deformed from usage. also appears to be indications that the internal workings of the switch has been evolving, i suspect due to usage related failure. | |||

| Cruise control:1993 ford explorer- while traveling on the highway, i had my cruise control on. as i approached another vehicle from behind, i put my foot on the brake pedal to deactivate the cruise control. the control did not deactivate, and i had to push the off button on the steering wheel to gain control. this isn't an isolated incident, this has happened to me on 3 other occasions. also when this switch goes bad, it is apparently tied into the rear brake lights, as they don't work when it goes out. on all occasions when this switch goes out, i have taken it to a ford dealer(ross ford- piedmont, mo.) to have it repaired, so it should be documented. i feel this is a safety hazard that should be investigated. *la | |||
