Question Cruise not working - P/N of switch on brake cylinder?

I have a 2001 Ford F-150 Lariat with non-functional cruise control. It looks like the switch at the end of the brake master cylinder is shot.

Does anyone know the part number or official name for this switch so that I can find a replacement?

Thanks!

Is there a recall harness attached to it? If it’s the red leaking switch then disconnect it immediately!!
It’s called a cruise control release switch and available at your local dealer or parts store. Here’s what a leaking switch looks like.

I didn't realize that brake fluid was flammable. I will pull the electrical connector and get a new switch ASAP.

As for the recall harness, I believe that I have that... It is about a foot long and has a blue tag on it?

Yes it has had the recall then but if the switch wasn’t leaking at that time it wasn’t replaced. The replacement switches for the red topped ones are black topped. The brake fluid leakage into the wiring is what causes a fire, not the fluid per se.
