Yea, my 96 has been recalled too. Haven't done it yet cuz they do NOT have the parts and want me to make 2 trips (my gas & my time) for something that never should have happened.
1. to disconnect my cruise
2. to hook it up the right way.
That means I do not have cruise til they get the parts. If I could find a wiring diagram, I would rewire it myself. Really shouldn't be that hard.

Think about this - Ford has been making motor vehicles longer that anyone on this planet - why would they even consider leaving the cruise HOT with the key OFF (out of the ignition)? To save a buck?? Anything electrical I have ever wired - is wired so it goes OFF WITH THE KEY. We are not talking rocket science here - power ON continues to drain the battery.
ps. It is also a fire hazard.
