Description of the problem	On 7/10/09 (friday) my ford 2001 f150 supercrew was parked at my residents around 7:30pm. About 30 mins. After the vehicle was turned off, smoke began to come out of the hood, drivers side. It smoked for about 5-10 mins. I lift the hood and saw the wires and connection plug to the speed control deactivation switch was still smoldlering. After it cold down i disconnected the plug from the switch (the total damage at this time seems to be the faulty speed control deactivation switch, the switch connection plug and some wires leading up to the plug). On 7/13/09(monday)i had the vehicle towed to my local mechanic to inspect and repair the damage. I also placed a claim with my insurance co.. Along with calling the nears ford dealer(about 50 miles away) and got a "will call you back" answer, also they were suppose to have disconnected the switch three years prior when i had the vehicle in to them for routine maintenance ( i was sent a notice of recall from ford motor corp. Along with the dealers computer flagging it too for this problem), i also called ford's 800 customer service hotline and filed a report with them (they said i did not have to take the vehicle to the dealer since i had already filed a insurance claim and had it already towed to a repair shop. As of 5:00 pm pst, on 7/13/09 i am waiting for my insurance agent to look at the vehicle and authorize repair. I am having the repair shop save the old parts.
