Is this the same part that has the cruise throttle cable going to it one the driver side of the engine bay? or is it somewhere dif?

No. The relay activates the system IIRC.

The temp fix is to pull the cruise control fuse so the system wont get any power.

The Recall Info (http://www.ford.com/dynamic/metatags/article-detail/223_important_notice_voluntary_recall_update)... Ford Australia (http://www.ford.com.au) doesn't have any recall info on it's site, at all? When I put in the Australian VIN on the US site, it said it was invalid. So looks like I will have to contact them about it.

Its for the 94 model capri only i believe. 91-93 uses mitsubushi electronics for the cruise control.
