cruis controll dont work
I also have a 97 F-150. I have had difficulty with my cruise control as well. Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't. After much head scratching I've become convinced that the cut-out switch on the brake / clutch pedals is slightly mis-aligned.
If I'm forced to apply the brakes when cruise is on, it sometimes won't re-engage. When that happens, if I push the clutch all the way to the floor once and then try to re-engage the cruise, it usually works.

A clock spring is the contact tape strip mounted in a cartridge that attaches under the steering wheel that allows electrical contact of the horn button, airbag, and cruise control switches, while allowing full rotation of the steering wheel. Also known as the airbag sliding contact.

Turn the key to ON, and after the 6 second proveout check, watch the Air Bag light. It will flash a two digit code. For example a code 32 would be Three flashes, a short pause, and then two flashes followed by a long pause and then it will repeat up to 5 times and then stay on solid.

I've had something similar happen to me twice so far. While using cruise on the highway, all of a sudden the cruise goes off and the truck begins to decelerate. I can simply re set the cruise right after and it works fine. Only has happened twice in a year but thought it was just weird.
what is code 32
I know that the abs light is anti lock brakes.
i want to know why the abs light is on and why my cruis dont work.
