Comparison of original flammable speed control switch versus rec…

These are NOT "Secondary Cruise Control Deactivator Switches (SCCDSs)" MY MISTAKE; they are "Speed Control Deactivator Switches" (SCDSs). The recall part is available as Ford XW7Z-9F924-BA, Motorcraft SW6350, or Standard CCR1. But it's free at any Ford/L/M dealership, and if they don't do it, it'll stay attached to the VIN as an open safety recall. So take it in for the FREE repair. They will likely offer to do ADDITIONAL work at your expense, but none of that is necessary to get the recall done FREE.

Q1. What is the Universal Fused Jumper Harness?
A. The Universal Fused Jumper Harness contains a fuse in each side of the circuit to accommodate polarity complexity across vehicle lines, and a connector hardshell that is compatible with all Speed Control Deactivation Switches.
Q2. Why are the Speed Control Deactivation Switches not interchangeable on all vehicle applications?
A. Differences in Speed Control Deactivation Switch (SCDS) activation pressures make it essential that the correct SCDS is installed in the specified vehicle application.
Q3. Can I just remove the fuse for the Speed Control System circuit?
A. No. Removing the fuse will disable more systems on the vehicle than just the Speed Control System.
Q4. Can the customer disconnect the Speed Control Deactivation Switch connector?
A. No. To ensure that the correct connector is disconnected, a dealership technician should perform this service.
Q5. Is the Speed Control Deactivation Switch located on the vehicle steering wheel?
A. No. The Speed Control Deactivation Switch is typically mounted to the brake master cylinder under the hood. On some of the earlier built vehicles, the SCDS was mounted to a junction block or brake proportioning valve located below the master cylinder on or near the frame rail.
Q6. Can customers avoid overheating the switch by not using the Speed Control System?
A. No. The electrical circuit to the Speed Control Deactivation Switch is always energized, so not using the Speed Control System doesn't reduce the potential for overheating of the switch.
