Brake pressure switch (cruise control deactivation switch) 2003 Explorer Sport XLT.

[doctorrazz]

would like some advice and diagram on changing the brake sensor switch. My switch is working intermittently, on again off again. Should I just change it?? adjust it??

Please advise.

thanks

I have been messing with the switch on the brake, but I cannot see the mechanics of any pressure switch. Please advise on the mechanism.

That part is the cruise control deactivation switch, and it has a recall. There is a different harness for it too. Check this link for more information: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=171739

these switches are prone to catching fire hense the recall on 2002 explorers i would replace it asap not worth finding out the hard way !

problem solved
guy who just installed remote start pulled out a wire at the BPPS (under the dash)
This directly affects cruise
dealer is fixing at his cost - wire was actually pulled out of the metal spade lug
