The cruise does not work in my '01 F150. After I turn it on, the cruise light on the dashboard flashes 1 time every time I try to set the cruise. Anyone else had this problem? Thanks

 

With an '01 and the dahs light intact, you can run the self test for the CC and see what is up.

first question..have you had the CC recall work done yet ?

If you have, and it has worked for some time, then continue with the self test :

------ Cruise Control Self Test ------
With the key off depress and hold the cruise control off button while turning the ignition to the run position,dont start the truck, the cruise light will flash once to let you know it is in selftest.
Five additional flashes indacate a bad cruise control servo

Release the cruise off switch and within 5 seconds depress the other switches in sequence:
1. on
2. resume
3. coast
4. set/ accel
The speed control light will flash as each switch is depressed.

If the last one does not flash it may then flash a code

After this the cruise will move the throttle to test the actuator and the cable.
Make sure the trottle returns to idle and turn the key off.

 

I haven't had the truck long, so I was not aware of the recall. I get the first flash when I hold off button, but no flashes on the next four steps. I will look into the recall. Thanks for your help.
