1996 E350 cruise control
I first tried a search, but dint find my concern
1996 E350 w/7.5L (460) based class C RV.
cruise control quit working , all fuses checked ok …. It is cable activated ( not drive by wire )
Is there a diagnosis chart that I could follow to find the problem ?
If not , what is normally the main known problem ?
We drive from Quebec to Yuma AZ , we need it 🤗
p.s: no indicating light in cluster to indicate ON ,really ! 🙄
thanks,
Dan 😊

This could be the underhood servo has failed or there's a wiring fault anywhere in the circuit for VSC. If your fuses are shown to be passing current then its time to check the brake lamps especially the "third eye" mounted at the top in the rear. This could also be the steering wheel control switches.
Trouble shooting via an appropriate year EVTM would be the first step. There are spec's to test the entire circuit at the servo connector which are all listed in the EVTM for your year. Unfortunately there are none listed on eBay at the moment.
Good luck with this!

Once you verify brake lamps and a horn
The clockspring is a common issue
See if it will turn on and engauge on an onramp for instance with the steering wheel turned or while turning
Access to a NGS?
You can check all the switch inputs with a Ford new generation star tester quick and easy
Ford clocksprings (air bag sliding contacts) are getting hard to find
Look for a (new old stock) Ford one

Damn straight ton of chit included. Servo, brake on off switch, clutch switch, MLP sensor. VSS, cruise amplifier (processor)
Used to see the cable on the actuator (servo) break once in a while
EVTM is a small book with circuit wiring diagrams and vacuum info

No
A EVTM looks like this
This one a 88 Bronco F150-350 and F Super Duty (I do not have a EVTM for yours)
I will show a few pages so you know what's inside

You got a library close BigDan1?
I have no 96 book
You can print off pages of the 1996 EVTM you need for free on AllData
AllData is available to use free at every library that I have ever been to (Maui included)
Once the librarian knows you are doing research and not playing games or on Facebook
They roll out the red carpet for you
