Hello I have 1987 f250 6.9 diesel 4sp manual trans 4x4 the cruise control stopped working the fuse is good i swapped out the vacuum operated component under the hood with a known good part and still does not work no lights or anything work for the cruise thanks for any help.

 

How does the power get through the steering wheel i was told this year of truck doesnt have clock spring??? HELP!!!!!!!!

 

spring pins and contact plates under the steering wheel.
make sure the clutch switch is working properly. if the clutch is not all the way up, the cruise will think the clutch is depressed and not work.

 

Thank you Tom will look at those i did replace the turn signal switch the ond one had to springs the new one only had 1 spring does that matter?

 

turn signal switch should not have any effect on cruise.

 

Tom where are these spring pins the only thing i can find that appears to be spring pin is attached to the turn signal switch a metal pin and it appears to have a spring under it only 1 of them and another hole where looks like there should be another one but there is not thanks for your help.

 

not sure, it has been at least 15 years since i had a column apart.

 

Ok I ruled out the clutch pedal im leaning towards the control buttons does anyone know how to test them thanks

 

Still not sure what my next step would be i hate to just start throwing parts at it any other ideas out there? thanks for any help.

 

The cruise control /tilt wheel turn signal switch is different from a truck with no
cruise.

Should be two spring loaded contacts. Yellow wire and a Dark Blue wire.

If you look at the back side of the steering wheel you'll see the cam surface they
make contact with.



There's actually two other metal spring loaded pins that make contact with the
inner most ring. They provide a ground signal path..They are not part of the turn signal switch
assembly.

 

Awesome thank you i will go take alook thanks for the info.
