Cruise control self test question

New guy just started a tread on this today. 2000 F250, V10, automatic transmission. Mine started off being intermittent during cold weather and now no longer works period. I have checked the brake pressure switch, it has an ohm reading so it should be good. The "cruise" light does come on when I press the set button, and does go off when I tap the brakes. It just does not seem to engage. I am wondering if it is the control module and how much that costs. I was also wondering if anyone has tried by passing the recall to see if that fixes it.

My 04 f150 fx4 has some of these same issues. The cruise doesn't work at all and the self test doesn't do anything on my truck either. I tested the disengage switch which tested good but replaced it anyway for $21. I've checked all brake lights and replaced the 3rd light which was burned out. I've unplugged the brake switch and reconected in case of loose connection. I removed the brake switch and tested as follows (please correct me if my test method is flawed): top to bottom pins 1-6 for sake of this discussion. Pins 1 and 2 no continuity until brake button is pressed. Pins 3 and 4 are blank so no test performed. Pins 5 and 6 tested the same as 1 and 2 so am I correct in saying the switch is good? My truck will shift through all gears and back without ever applying the brakes. Bad shift interlock inside the shift console? I haven't torn into that yet but it's the only thing left I can think of. Is there any tests to be run on it with a multimeter? Thanks
