Need Help with Cruise Control

My cruise don't work and I'm trying to troubleshoot it. I don't have an owners manuel and can't look up which fuse supplys the cruise. If someone would be kind enough to look this up in their manual and pass the info along I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Scott

EDIT: I think I found it in an old post. Fuse # 13

If it's not the fuse check ALL your brake lights including the 3rd brake light, most cruise systems won't work with brake lights out.

Will do! There was power to the master cylinder and the switch tested OK.

Thanks for the reply,

Scott

Edit: All is well with the lights....done for the day.

Scot. You can download a free manual off one of the ford web sites. I printed off the pages that have the fuses and keep a copy in the truck as they come in handy. I don't have the link but if you search "manual" the link will come up.

If your horn doesn't work, then it is clock spring related. If your shift lever deosnt shift out of park then your safety switch on brake pedal. If the above work then it is either the switch on the end of master brake cylinder, which has a recall, or your cruise module. Try the switch, wiring on end of brake cylinder first as that one is only 20 or so compared to several hundred for cruise servo. The recall takes care of issues of X's burning after the wiring on brake cylinder leaks fluid and shorts out causes flames.

Wallz, thanks for the reply. Everything else on the steering wheel seems to be working OK. I tried the diagnostic and the buttons work and I can hear the servo cycle. I'll have to get another set of eyes to see if the cable is moving.

Thanks,

Scott

Cruise now working

Don't know what the problem was but after checking all the connections and running diagnostics the cruise is working. Thanks for the replies.
