Officially own a '96 Bronc...pretty excited and also anxious to take as good of care of it as I can. Got 221K on it and it's in good shape, rust in a couple spots on back wheel wells and back bumper, could use new paint job maybe. Finding a lot of tailgate stories on here, that's the first thing I'm worried about taking care of. Key for it and dash switch having no effect at the moment. I'll stay tuned

Yo Bronconnoisseur,
Welcome and congrats on acquiring the best year Bronco!

ASAP, find out if speed control recall work, if equipped was completed. If you still have concerns about Recalls, please contact the Ford Customer Relationship Center:
US: 800-392-3673 | CA: 800-565-3673
Note: 3673 spells "FORD" on phone keys
For the hearing- or speech-impaired: Please contact the Telecommunication Relay Service by dialing 71
... have VIN ready.
"Summary: ON CERTAIN PICKUP TRUCKS, PASSENGER VEHICLES, SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, AND MOTOR HOMES CHASSIS, THE SPEED CONTROL DEACTIVATION SWITCH MAY, UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, LEAK INTERNALLY AND THEN OVERHEAT, SMOKE, OR BURN. THIS COULD RESULT IN AN UNDERHOOD FIRE."
To confirm current status, use this guide by jowens1126 @ 93 & 94-96 Cruise Control Recalls Repair
Note that the 93 recall is different than the 94-96 recall.

To save you time and for better responses, please fill out your Bronco info with location, year, engine size, transmission type, transfer case type (manual or electric shift), locking hub type (automatic or manual) info & major mods such as a Lift, etc.

Appreciate that boss. Cruise control is functioning well and I think I updated my info to where it’s serving the right purpose now

correct. I have an electronic buzzing/whirring that occurs while driving. it comes from the tailgate area. when the power window buttons are activated when all the windows are up, the buzzing dissipates slightly until I let go of the power window button. I know the sound is related to the power windows (fuse 12)
