I only hand out about 15 of those harnesses a day 
Ford Cruise Control Recall - First hand experience

Ford still uses the BOO switch for cruise deactivation. The pressure switch in the recall is the secondary safety cutoff there in case the BOO doesn't work properly.
Just bought a used 1997 Explorer about 6 weeks ago. Just found out about the recall the hard way. I was very lucky to see the smoke and put out the fire before i may have lost the truck. Went to ford dealer and they told me if i want to be reimbursed for the damage i had to file an insurance claim against ford. like i really have the time to wait for them i need my truck. switch was 21 dollars that came with the new plug. as far as my reservoir for the master cylinder they wanted $104 for just a piece of plastic what a rip off. I bought a brand new aftermarket master cylinder with a new reservoir for $69.99 . Why does ford try to rip people off.

Maybe your dealer is crooked? As I said, my switch was a whopping 11 bucks. Their reservoir price was ridiculous (I agree), and I would have probably visited the wreckers to grab one.

You can remove the recall harness; it is not needed with the new switch.

I'd save it--it has a male and female connector on it that just happens to be the same as a Bosch-style fuel injector connector.

Thanks Brian. Bdcardinal set me straight on page 2. I had not noticed the replacement notice on the jumper harness and had thought it was still necessary.
