What It Helps Fix

• Cruise control that does not disengage when the brake pedal is pressed
• Intermittent cruise cancel operation
• Fault codes related to the brake pedal cruise release circuit
• Switch wear from repeated brake pedal use
• Electrical contact issues at the brake pedal arm switch location

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal type, and vehicle application before installation. This switch uses a female connector with male blade terminals and is listed for brake pedal arm mounting on the 2010-2011 Ford Ranger. For 2004-2005 Ford Explorer, Explorer Sport Trac, Lincoln Aviator, and Mercury Mountaineer applications, confirm traction control-equipped fitment notes before ordering. Always compare the original part number, connector shape, and mounting location to the removed component.
