I thought it was the switch on the steering wheel that went bad. Turns out this was the problem. Part was about $50 on amazon and i was able to switch it out in less than 15 min. Thanks for the video!
Your absolutely right about it fixies your cruise control but theirs one other thing that happens when the switch goes bad your lock up in your torque converter no longer works so you run around turning high rpms burning fuel and super heating tranny fluid I was sure I needed a new tranny until I stumbled across this 20 dollar part your welcome
Does the new pigtail harness have a fuse on it? I saw a YT video where the old fused harness was used along with this new sensor and harness, I'm guessing for fused protection?
@@alismyname2508 the old sensor allowed brake fluid to seep out of the sensor itself. Causing a fire hazard. The new style sensor is designed to where brake fluid doesn’t have the ability to leak, thus no need for the fused harness
@@joethurman2712 thank you for explaining that, I could not find any literature describing the new sensor as improved and not needing a fused pigtail. I'm new to Excursions and have much more to learn. My CC does not function after replacing this brake sensor. CC buttons on steering wheel are wonky... If I hold down the On button and press the Coast button my horn sounds! 😳

Thank you you sure told me the way to fix it 100% and well done.
No problem taco bob!
great explanation. thank you for this video.
Thankyou. Great Content!
I have a similar brake master cylinder to yours with the switch at the 7 o'clock position. Do i have to empty the fluid before changing it?
It isn’t necessary, I just put some rags under the cylinder and swapped them quick. You will lose a little fluid and have to top it off.

Nope new pigtail is not fused!
@@joethurman2712 So if the new sensor shorts out due to oil leak and overheats it may cause a fire?
