05 Cruise control stopped working

Over the last couple months when I started driving, I noticed that the cruise control wasn't working at all. The next time I would start it was working again. It "stopped" working a few times.

The last time it stopped working was about a week ago, and hasn't worked since. I have read about horn relay fuses, tailight fuses, some sort of module on the engine. Where should I start?

I'd verify that the brake light switch isn't sticking.

Brake light switch, ok I'll have a look. Normal brake, or emergency brake? or both?


When I turn on the CC, no lights come on the gauge cluster. When I press any other buttons, nothing happens(no lights). and of course it doesn't work.

We are on another forum and a person posted about an almost identical problem, take a look at this thread: 2004 F150 Lariat Cruise Control - Ford F150 Forum - Community of Ford Truck Fans

Your truck may need the 7L3Z7E096A as well.

Well I seem to have fixed it.

For around 6 months my emergency brake light was intermittently on and off, even though the brake was not engaged. With the suggestion of the brakes I pulled on the brake release several times and my cruise control now works.

What's odd is the emergency brake was not engaged, so I don't know what the problem was.

Well that makes me feel good. At least I was close. The pedal was probably down just enough to trip the switch. It's weird that the light was in though. Glad it's working.
