When you tap the brake, your cruise control needs a clear signal to let go. The Standard Ignition Cruise Control Release Switch SLS-457 is designed to send that signal. It is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 2001-2003 Ford Escape, 2000-2003 Ford Explorer and 2002-2004 Ford Expedition.
The release switch tells the cruise control system to disengage when the brake is applied, so the vehicle stops holding its set speed.
