Thats not the charcoal canister but then I do not know what it is.
I'll take a look at mine when I get home and see. My car is all apart so it will be easy to see. I do not remember anything like that in my 90, but I bet its there. LOL!!!!!
You're right, but I'm not so sure its for the cruise control since the cruise is in the drivers side fender. Ohhhhhh wait a minute..........That is possable since it is a Ford and especialy an SC. They are notorious for having oddball things.
It's the vacuum reservoir for the cruise control and the heater/AC controls. The similar looking thing on the driver's side is the cruise control servo.
