When we replaced the SCDS we did so as a preventative measure as there was "ZERO" brake fluid under the master cylinder at all... under or on the wiring etc... nothing. I was able to determine that the switch was indeed the one listed as needing replacement, but again the FORD records stated this van wasn't eligible for the recall and didn't need it.. so I did it out of my own pocket.
I guess I should've inspected the "lower wiring" areas in case there was a leak in the past and the upper wiring area (just under the master cylinder) was completely dry, but when I saw all that dry I didn't feel the need to check it out.
FYI - THE LIGHT THAT IS ON IS THE LIGHT THAT STATES BRAKE WITH THE CRESCENT SHAPED PARENTHESIS LOOKING LINES ABOVE IT. This light is indicated by number 21 in the diagram.
