94 mercury recalled 9-12-07 for cruise control recall. Dealer did not say part was not available and removed the wire to the cruise control. I have not been able to get results on my fix, ford service said part not available. With all the parts company's closing I am sure they could have this fix in a day or two. I did not buy this car without cruise and I want and need it now. I have a bad leg that requires me to use cruise on long trips.
