95 XLT-2 Probs:ABS light & Cruise Control
Hi folks....new to this forum, but member of "Ford F150 forum" too.
Here's what I have:
Truck is a 95 XLT SC/Longbed with 5.0/E4OD.
Prob #1.)Cruise doesn't work. I have checked dash fuse and it's good. Have not done any other tests.
Looks like I already have the re-call "fix" {note blue tag on MC cable}. Looking for troubleshooting ideas.
Prob #2) ABS light {ABS only} comes on & stays on in freezing temps. Over 40º, just fine. I'm thinking prolly moisture in lines freezing. Looking for feedback before I do a line flush.

Thanks for replying.
Horn works, cab/3rd tail light work, red brake light doesn't come on...all that stuff is good.
Just the ABS light when below freezing {and brakes still work fine even tho the light comes on} and zip, zilch, nada from Cruise.
Like I said...only thing I can think of for the ABS is moisture freezing somewhere in the line/wheel cyls.. The brake fluid is a tad dirty, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's ice. I'll flush it next week and wait for the next freeze and update about what happens.
The Cruise is another matter. I'm wondering if the steering wheel control/switch is fried, or what else it could be. W/airbag, I'm not exactly in an excited hurry to mess with it.....ya know?
Any Cruise control wizards out there?

same problem with my 94. the ABS issue turned out to be a tiiiiiiny leak in the brakeline going from the master cylinder to the front caliper. once that was replaced, the ABS went away...weird.
but my horn and cruise went too, and its not a fuse. the 90s F series are actually on recall right now for this problem. i just cant get around to taking it in..

Meanwhile, DON'T park the truck near anything unless you unplug that red switch.
