Cruise control not working...
#32
Sometimes the module itself rusts up. It's on the driverside inner fender, with a cable that runs to the throttle body. You can remove the cover, which is the electronics of the module, and check to see if the drive motor is seized. I had to use a pair of pliers to loosen it and put some oil on the bearings.
Wish I would have looked here sooner

It could be the clockspring but if your ABS light is flashing there is probably a brake issue that needs corrected first. If anything is wrong with the brake system, crusie will not work.
In my experiece its usually a missing/incorrect input to the cruise module/servo (false brake pedal switch input - module thinks brake is depressed, missing vehicle speed input, bad power or ground) that caused the cruise to be inop. Make sure you check the wiring before throwing parts at it!

Help... What else can I check
I'm trying to get the cruise working on my 1994. The clock spring was bad and I just put in a new one. Now my horn works and the air bag light is off but still no cruise. I have checked the module and everything is free, all the brake lights work and I've checked all the fuses.
Does anybody have a test procedure. It looks like someone posted some info in this old thread but the links are no longer working.
Help please.

I know this is an old thread, but I have read all the messages & my problem seems a little different. I originally had a short that was blowing the brake light/shift reliese fuse & the Cruise control & the horn didn't work, plus the ABS light was blinking. I changed the clock spring & the cruise control pressure switch on the end of the mastercylinder. That fixed the shorting fuse. Now my brake lights work & the ABS light doesn't blink, but the cruise control & the horn still doesn't work. I also opened up thecruise control module & it was clean & free inside. What could be my problem now? Thanks for any help.

Don't I feel stupid! I raised the hood and the connector on the module was loose. I pushed it in tighter and now the horn works. I checked the gears again in the module and they seem free and able to turn alright. The cruise still doesn't work, but at least I feel i'm headed in the right direction.

Found this thread after searching the net and decided to join up.
Helping fix my grandpa's truck and his cruise quit working about a year ago.
94 F150 5.0 2wd.
Horn works, abs is working, no lights on.
After looking at this thread I guess the clock spring is hit or miss? All fuses under the dash and under the hood are good.
I guess I'll crack open the module and check the gears as described earlier in the thread. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Doesn't sound like the clock spring after reading, but I've been wrong before.

Speed control
I have been messing with my Speed control on and off for a few months, and after I saw the picture of the servo, I took mine off and opened it up, and it is packed with rust! I tried for a few days soaking it and no luck. I found one on eBay for a 1997 Lincoln for $51, got it changed the bracket to mount to my cab, and it works just like new. Thanks!! Dale
