Reference to recall #05v388000. Approx 7 years ago the harness shorted out. The vehicle was parked and when starting up saw smoke and smelled electrical short. Observe electrical component shortening out of the cruise control wire harness. This caused the cruise control (I.e. Horn, speed settings) not to work. I contact ford who advised there was no recall for this. A year or two later I saw a recall for this exact issue. At that time refused to fix the wire harness and just unplugged the assembly. I contacted the federal safety agency who advised to try again and if they don't fix file a complaint. I took to ford dealer again who advised they will not fix even though it was connected to the item that shorted out. Can you please help.

Truck burned because of faulty cruise control switch which I was unaware of. I am a car dealer and purchased this truck over a year ago and have had problems with it but was unaware that it was because of this switch. I never received a notice that this was a recall problem. The cruise control no longer worked, the battery would go dead quit often, the ABS light would flash and the fuse in the system would blow and had to be replaced often, it would not shift out of park once the truck was started, the rear brake lamps would not work. We went to various places and asked people about this but no one was able to help us and never told about a recall. My husband and father would work on the truck quit often but we could never get it fixed.
