From http://www.usautoinjurylaw.com/cases/fires/ford-windstar.htm "The Ford Speed Control Deactivation Switch, also known as a "brake pressure switch," costs about $21. The switch shuts off the cruise control when the driver firmly steps on the brakes. The switch is located under the hood of the vehicle and is attached to the brake master cylinder on one end and wired to the cruise control on the other. This position places it above flammable reservoirs of brake fluid.

Do you think it would cost more than $21 to fix the death wobble? :exactly:

Remember the three basic human emotions: greed, lust and greed. :professor:
