Question Cruise Control run aground

Last week I was driving to work and pressed my cruise control and tried to set speed, the light "cruise" would flash but not engage? I have already had the recalled part replaced....any ideas?

It's quite possible that your replacement switch is failing too. (although they don't spontaneously combust). Check Steve's diagnostic thread, and go from there. We've been seeing a rash of bad contacts in teh replacement switches. Apparently they're getting fuzzy for some reason... we're working on them here in our lab.

i got thing from ford in the mail about the recall. mines a 97 4.6. i bought a oil line hose from them thats probably how they knew i was the owner.anyway whats the cruise recall?? what part is bad? the throttle doesnt get stuck or anything like that does it? is it even worth bringing back to have it done? ive had it 10 months and no problems.

Please search for 'Cruise COntrol Recall' and you'll have more than enough info. Please have the recall performed ASAP. The short version is that the old part can cause a fire.
