1996 Ford F150 fuse blown # 13 (in dash) brake light failure; speed control associated sensors. Local Ford dealer serviced 9-27-04 @ $510.30 to diagnose situation and remedied by replacing the whole master cylinder where it was obvious that the switch from the speed control on this brake unit was burnt. Additional remedy was to disconnect the wiring harness that controls the speed control rendering my horn useless as well. The male harness connector is presently taped as I was instructed that hooking it back up would create this same fire hazard condition. Therefore, I have no horn and my speed control isn't working either. The fuse hasn't blown and I do have brake lights. ( pa requires that the horn work to pass safety inspection ) the braking system did not fail me at any time other than this electrical problem (blown fuse) and the changing of the mechanical/hydrologics was not warranted.
Hazard lights had a dead spot when shuting off flashers. Also, brake light went out. Stopped by highway patrol to inform brake lights were not working. Please add VIN.
