recall???

[farmallcrew]

was there a recall for 97 f250 for the anti lock brake sensor, catching fire? I cant remember if there was one or not. If there was one can you please post the link for me.



When I came out of work yesterday i was letin the truck warm up and cleaning somethings up in it and smelled someting funny burning. I popped the hood and the whole connector was on fire and melted the resivor tank and started the hood material on fire as well. As a member of the fire dept I wasnt going to call, that would look really good, a member buring his own truck. It was a really good thing i was standing there with it.


Thanks

Wait is this something I should keep an eye on or what?

when I took my truck in for the CPS recall, I asked if there were any other recalls, specifically the brake switch, and was told that the diesels were not covered by that recall, and that the switch carried a different part number.

I just looked it up and didn't see anything on it.

They are not expensive. My cruse went out and replacing that switch fixed it. I guess Im the lucky one that truck didnt burn up.

Thanks guys. After i got off work that monday morning. I went to the Ford dealership and asked them to run my vin. It didnt come up with anything. So i bout the deactivation switch and went to the local salvage yard and got my brake fluid resivor tank. 20 bucks for the switch 10 bucks for the tank and 30 bucks for the stack off a chevy. oops. Everything is working great now!!!!
