Wont go into cruise control...anybody know of any fuses or simple fixes?

 

Has the cruise control recall been done?

 

Not to my knowledge...whats this?

 

"Initial Recall: September 7, 2005: Ford Motor Company announced a massive safety recall on 1994-2002 vehicles to correct a problem that could cause the cruise control deactivation switch to overheat and create an underhood fire.

Ford found that brake fluid could leak through the cruise deactivation switch into the cruise system's electrical components and cause corrosion. Corrosion can cause a short and keep the cruise control from working, but in some cases it can lead to a higher flow of current that can overheat and cause a fire at the switch."

"Fixing the Problem

To repair trucks, Ford will install a jumper harness between the cruise control deactivation switch and the cruise mechanism. The harness will act as a circuit breaker and will turn off the current at the switch if the switch becomes shorted."

Take it into a ford dealer and have the VIN pulled to see if the recall has been performed. If not, they will do it, it is a free fix

 

Sweet...thanx man

 

But that won't fix your problem, - just prevent another possible one lol.

 

It might fix it - but regardless, make sure the recall is done first due to the fire hazard. If the recall has been done, the added harness has a fuse in it that may have popped. There has to be a reason - inspect the area around the master cylinder for fluid leaks. You may need a whole new disconnect switch which only costs around 30 bucks.
