Max,

When I took out my pressure switch from the Master Brake Cylinder, the threaded ends of the pressure switch were rounded off.

So that means eigther the previous owner or fleet company that owned this van had their shop or a Ford Dealer replace the sensor.

Remember, sometimes they have Jr mechanic's or low paid techs work on the simple stuff, and when they are pressed for time, they just jamm things in and call it a day, figuring that no one will know for a long time anyway until the part either fails of the vehicle gets trashed.

I have had this poor experience.

The overall replacement is not too bad, I just hope you do not have a crossthreaded Master Brake Cylinder port.

I am sorry I took so long to respond, I have been busy with own schooling, work issues, and taking care of my family.

Feel free to pm me should you have any questions regarding my post.

Sean
