I recently picked up a 2000 Excursion V-10 4x4, the cruise control will not engage. I press the on button, then press set/accel and the green cruise indicator lights up on the dash, but it is not holding the speed. I've replaced the switch and harness on the master cylinder already but no luck. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Few things it could be. So the CC system is sensitive to any brake switch, you replaced the common master cylinder failure point, also check the under dash brake pedal switch. Also the parking brake has a switch. Because your light comes on, I would try a new cruise control module on top of the cc servo. Also common failure area is cc wire chafing inside the steering column.
My cruise control stopped working today on my 2002 Ex v10 4x4. Is there a particular piece to check if the green light does NOT come on? Wonder if that will help me narrow it down somewhat... It has worked fine all the time i've had it until today.

Try this self-test procedure:
enter self-test diagnostics by depressing the speed control OFF switch while turning the ignition key ON, making sure the engine does not start and is not running. The speed control indicator on the instrument panel
will flash once to indicate that speed control module entered the diagnostic mode. Five additional flashes at this point indicate a defective speed control servo. Release the OFF switch.
Press the remaining switches in this sequence: ON, RESUME, COAST and SET/ACCEL.
If the ON switch is not depressed within five seconds after entering the diagnostics mode, the module times out and the procedure must be started over.
The speed control indicator lamp will flash as each switch is depressed. Press each switch in the sequence immediately after the indicator light goes out for the previous switch.
NOTE: There will be a slight delay when the last button is pressed and the lamp flashes.
A lamp flash with the last button (SET/ACCEL) indicates that the static test passed. If the lamp does not flash with the last button and there are no additional flashes of the lamp, the switch is defective.
If the lamp does not flash with the last button, and additional flashes occur, follow the chart below for trouble codes:
2 flashes - BPP defective, circuit is defective, brake applied, CPP switch or jumper (if equipped).
3 flashes - deactivator switch is open or circuit defective.
4 flashes - vehicle speed signal is out of range or circuit is defective
Immediately (.25 second delay) after the static test, the speed control servo does a dynamic test by automatically actuating the throttle lever from 8 mm (0.315 in) to 12 mm (0.472 in) of travel from the idle position. During the dynamic throttle pull, observe throttle movement to witness any binding or sticking of the speed control cable and correct connection of speed control cable to throttle lever. Make sure the throttle returns to the idle position
Thanks man! For me it was the deactivator switch. The self test procedure flashed 3 times just like it should have to tell me it was that circuit. Replaced the switch and it works great. Thanks again!

Glad I could help. I went through this with my brother's expedition (he got $400 off the price for no cruise control) and it was a $10 steering wheel switch at the junkyard that I was able to diagnose through this built-in test.
His pedal switch also was throwing the self-test code, but I was able to take it apart and fix it after I got a defective one from NAPA.
