hello, I was wondering what sensor it is that fried on me...It is infront, on top of the brake master cylinder.?


thanx ernie

 

[sm=welcomesign.gif]If it is on top of the master it is the brake fluid foat.[hr]This float tell's you when you are low on brake fluid.

 

What year is your truck?..

If it's up front/top threaded in, it's the brake pressure switch.. It's function is for criuse/speed control deactivation if equipped.. There's a safety recall for a variety of years (94-2002 F-150-550), and models for this switch, for possible overheat/burn problems..

Here's a portion of the recall/service advisory if it pertains to your truck..
