I don't know. It only listed one specific year, 1998, of Explorer/Mountaineer too, so maybe the other years/models of Ford's don't have the same "Texas Instruments" speed control activation switch. Does anyone know off hand where the speed control activation switch is located? Steven >> Stay informed about: '98 Explorer & Mountaineer Cruise Control Recall!

I read that the problem is where the switch is located--some Ford models/years have it mounted where brake fluid can get on(and in) it, others have the same switch but mounted in a "safer" location.
