Just bought a 2003 5.4 6 speed 4x4 F250


The cruise control does not work at all. The only fuse I can find in the owners manual is a 2 amp one....it is in good shape


Where do I look now to solve the problem??

 

Sooo, Nobody has had any issues with theirs?

I did some searching around, but nothing helped. Anyone?

 

There's been some more posts regarding cruise control since I tried to get help a couple weeks ago. I've made a little progress, so I'll update. Somebody please help!

Fuse 5 and 15 are good. There isn't a fuse in slot 13

When pressing the off button and turning key on, cruise light flashes once. Flashes once more when you press on. Does not flash for any button on the right side

However when you press "on" and "coast" at the same time the horn honks.

Horn works fine, no abs light

Also, it appears the recall for the cruise hasn't been fixed as there are no fuses around the master cylinder.


Are the buttons on the right side bad? What does it take to replace them?

 

You could have a bad switch on the master cylinder, or you could also have a bad clock spring in the steering column. Also try tilting the wheel to different angles and see it the cruise starts working there could be chafed or broken wires in the column

 

I have checked any thread I can find on the internet about cruise faults. I have a 2005 2WD with the gas 5.4 engine.
I have replaced switch in master cylinder, brake pedal switch, clock spring, cruise servo and the buttons in the steering wheel.
Cruise still works when it feels like it.
Please let me know iff you find your problem. I am out of ideas.

 

I haven't yet, but I ran the test on the cruise on our 03 work truck and only the on/off buttons made the cruise indicator flash, just like my truck. The set/cruise/resume buttons did nothing...just like my truck. The difference however is that the cruise works in the work truck!

 

Further to my strange cruise problem, during the periods that it decides that it wants to work, pressing the horn turns it off.

 

Anything on your cruise shawry?

Update on mine.......clutch pedal sensor blown out......truck starts without pedal engaged. I assume fixing this will fix my cruise

On the test it's:

Hold down off, turn key to run without starting or touching any pedal with your feet.

Immediately you will see the cruise light, then hit on, resume, coast, set

I know that's been posted 73 times already in 2016, but maybe it'll help someone in the future

 

Finally fixed. Replaced Clutch Pedal Position Sensor yesterday....$30 on ebay. Cruise works like a charm
