Clutch Pressure Switch Question (solved)

1986 F150 Lariat 302 with manual 4-speed overdrive.

Is the pressure switch that is activated by the clutch pedal in the "up" or "engaged" position -- is that for cruise control? (Not the clutch disengaged/starter switch.)

Probably. Is there two? There should be two on the brake pedal. One is a electrical switch to tell the cruise brain to turn off, and the other one has a vacuum line going to it, and dumps the vacuum out of the cruise servo so the speed drops quickly.

Sorry for the delay of game; life gets in the way...

The wires are both black. I can't say for sure they don't have another color on them, but it doesn't look like it. I'll look for a vacuum line and report back.

I don't know what else it could be. I guess I could run it down the road and test it. Will advise...

A road test does indicates it is for the speed control. Thanks for the help.
