Troubleshooting The Cruise Control?
Is there a good troubleshooting proceedure for a dead cruise control (88 Econoline 150, 302V8)? I tried the cruise control for the first time and got no response - where might I start to find out why? All the vacuum lines seem to be attached and undamaged, the electrical connection as well.

is your horn working? if so, might be a broken cruise control cable, brake pedal vacuum dump valve (small plunger type device with a big vacuum line attached near the brake pedal pad arm) broken or out of adjustment. Vehicle speed sensor and/or wiring to it (mine wasn`t working because the wiring was missing!) VSS is located on the transmission. Make sure all electrical connections are CLEAN!

I just found my thread - sorry I posted it in the wrong spot - since it was moved I haven't received notification of all your responses.
I haven't noticed a power distribution box under the hood as yet but all my fuses under the dash check out ok. How do I test the switches in the streering wheel - must I take the top apart or can I test for continuity at another point along the connection?
My horn is working and I will check to see if the control cable is broken or the vacuum line or dump valve are o.k.
Is there a seperate connection to ther VSS in the trany or does it all go through the harness?
Thanks!!
