From what I understand, they won't replace the switch unless it's leaking now.
They should replace all the switches since they know that they are prone to failure, not just do some band aid fuse install to prevent the fires.
The switch can still leak in the future with or without a fuse.

all they will do is unplug the switch, see if its leaking, if not they leave it unplugged to prevent a fire hazard (also leaving your cruise control useless) I recommend to check the switch yourself if no leaks, plug it back in, and you will get another notice when the kits come out for the fused jumper wire harness, then go in

Yes, that's my point, if the switch is not leaking yet (when you go in to get the fused wire harness) they don't replace the switch that may start leaking brake fluid the next day.
You might not worry about your car bursting into flames then, but what about your brake pedal going to the floor because your brake fluid leaked out? Or at the least, your steering wheel pulls to the left when you brake in an emergency, causing you to swerve into oncoming traffic?
This is not aimed at you Chicken, but at Ford.
I just think they should fix it right and replace the faulty switch.

Well, I guess you can always ask them to replace the switch anyway.

well......how about "making " it leak right before you go to the dealer,
maybe a few good hammer blows or something.or just squirt some brake fluid there,or something,
can a person insist on having there switch replaced because of a recall???
just some ideas

Where is it on the 93 if it's not there? As I have a 93, 94, and a 95.

Right. On the drivers side fire wall, down below the brake booster. PITA for access.

Damn that thing is tucked away... You can see it looking up from the bottom of the car. I'm leaving this one for the shop... seeing that it's free.
