cruise control question....
I have had no cruise control for a while now, and why im looking at it now in 20* weather I don’t know but. I pulled this from a ford service cd I have and its been a long day and I cant seem to see what it is telling me, if im at speed and I turn on the cruise the light comes on in the dash but it wont engage, I go through the tests and the light comes on with the off then the on then the resume then the coast then the set and doesn’t flash again, so am I right thinking the switch is bad….
Tks

1. 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 cluster 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Immediately after the STATIC test, the speed control servo does a DYNAMIC test by automatically actuating the throttle lever from 8 mm (0.315 in) to 12 mm (0.472 in) of travel from the idle position. During the DYNAMIC throttle pull, observe throttle movement to witness any binding or sticking of the speed control cable and correct connection of speed control cable to throttle lever. Make sure the THROTTLE RETURNS BACK TO IDLE POSITION.
5. Return ignition switch to the OFF position and proceed to the Symptom Chart.

Good luck with your cruise problem. I've had to do some checking of the voltage on an F150 4.6, but wound up making a friend out of a Ford tech and he fixed it for me. 
Sorry I could be of more help. One question for the group though: Why doesn't Ford subscribe to the "Cancel" button on the cruise? The only way to stop the cruise and be able to resume the set speed is to tap the brakes (as far as I know). Dodge/Jeep/Chrysler/GM all have the "cancel" option.???
