Introducing Myself
Hello, all... I am brand spanking new to this F150 forum! Hope everyone is healthy in these odd times.
My first question is going to be about diagnosing my cruise control, not working as of a few days ago, but my predicament might be a first on the forum because I haven't found any cruise control advice specific to my F150, which is a 6 cyl. 2002 STANDARD transmission.
I'm not sure the diagnosis would be different automatic versus standard.
I'll keep perusing the forum, but if anyone would like to point me in the right direction, that would be much appreciated.

Welcome Francis!
I noticed you have a 2002. Before anything, please check to see if you have had the recall pigtail done for the brake switch inside the engine bay. The fused pigtail is by the master cylinder.
I'd hate for you to lose your truck (or structure it was parked in) due to risk of fire. You can do some research to see what I'm referring to.

It's most likely the clutch switch, they have a spring in them they get dirt in them and fail. I would check that, it's on the rod under the dash.
is what they look like, you can jump the wires and take it for a quick drive to test it, but not a great idea to leave it like that, if you push the clutch in the cruise will wot.
If it looks ok, you might be able to get a code, not sure when they started this feature.
*cruise control self test*
Enter self-test diagnostics by depressing the speed control OFF switch while turning the ignition key ON, making sure the engine does not start and is not running. The speed control indicator on the instrument panel
will flash once to indicate that speed control module entered the diagnostic mode. Five additional flashes at this point indicate a defective speed control servo. Release the OFF switch.
Press the remaining switches in this sequence: ON, RESUME, COAST and SET/ACCEL.
If the ON switch is not depressed within five seconds after entering the diagnostics mode, the module times out and the procedure must be started over.
The speed control indicator lamp will flash as each switch is depressed. Press each switch in the sequence immediately after the indicator light goes out for the previous switch.
NOTE: There will be a slight delay when the last button is pressed and the lamp flashes.
A lamp flash with the last button (SET/ACCEL) indicates that the static test passed. If the lamp does not flash with the last button and there are no additional flashes of the lamp, the switch is defective.
If the lamp does not flash with the last button, and additional flashes occur, follow the chart below for trouble codes:
2 flashes - BPP defective, circuit is defective, brake applied, CPP switch or jumper (if equipped).
3 flashes - deactivator switch is open or circuit defective.
4 flashes - vehicle speed signal is out of range or circuit is defective

Hello 5spd. Thanks for the info. I'll check the clutch switch.
Just FYI in case you're interested... This thread was moved and continued with more posts and replies at:

I couldn't get the self-test to work for me.
