Re: 99 LX Windstar #10 fuse blowing
Yes, the part was a brand new factory dealer part. Cost the better part of $40. I also removed the rubber sponges on the top and bottom of the sensor electrical connector (which were soaked with fluid) and sprayed the entire connector with electrical contact cleaner.
Also, the fuse does not blow immediately, it takes at least 5 seconds before it blows. This makes me think it is not a dead short. [email protected][/quote]

Re: 99 LX Windstar #10 fuse blowing
If you are saying that your new brake pressure switch was leaking......it is defective.....and I would replace it.
I would try to get them to make good on the defective part.....but either way......free or pay again.....I would replace it. $40 sounds high....but maybe something is different for your year......still cheaper than a fire.

Re: 99 LX Windstar #10 fuse blowing
I got a schematic from a local mechanic and traced the brake sensor wire to the cruise control computer. I removed the multipin connector from the computer and voala !- brake fluid with corrosion around two of the pins. One of the input pins was shorted to ground, therefore I was forced to replace the computer. A quick trip to Pull-a-part.com and $16 (including warranty) for a used cruise control computer and this fixed my problem. I now have cruise control and the fuse holds. I hope someone else can benefit from my tribulations.
