2003 EB 7.3 - clock spring / ABS

2003 Ex - EB -7.3 Cruise only on Steering wheel.
Have airbag light and No cruise control ..
ABS also activate's at full stop almost constantly.. (annoying to say the least)
Is there a relation between Block spring and ABS system ?

What are thoughts about ordering Non OEM replacement clock spring ?

Thanks as always team

Kyle

Have you checked the ABS sensors and/or tone rings? I just went through some minor ABS issues and did a decent amount of searching and didn't see anything on clock springs being a culprit...not saying it isn't, but most of the other non-cruise control issues I saw were either bad ABS sensors/wiring...or in my case i had a piece of metal somehow get attached to the end of my sensor and it read the tone ring incorrectly.

Macmatthews, I just swapped my clockspring with a Dorman unit. So far so good. It was $130 new from advanced autoparts.

What truck is that for ?
Steering wheel cruise ?
Steering wheel radio ?

Clockspring

I had this same issue with my 03EB with the 6.0. I was not able to find a clockspring from any supplier. The part number is:
2C7Z14A664AC. My EB has the radio/ HVAC/as well as cruise. My search finally landed me to a used one from someone on this site! But my search did not end there. I was able to find a new old stock on EBay. I have that put away if and when the used one goes bad. Good luck on your search, this is a tough part to find!

I just replaced the recalled part under the master cylinder (pressure switch)
Still no Cruise control..

I hooked up the Laptop and ran KOER and got code

P0571 - speed control brake switch circuit failure

I cannot find much with reference to the above.

So just tried a PCM out of my brother 03 with same cruise control and no luck , so I'm thinking this issue is with the controls on the steering wheel.

From the break pedal, follow the arm up, till you see the switch. I'm guessing that might be throwing the P0571 code..
