cruise control....
I've had my 93 Aerostar XLT for 2 1/2 years now and the cruise has never worked. I'm tackling this now because I have to drive long distances now. The common problem that I can see from reading other postings is the clockspring. The problem that I'm having is I get no codes for the airbag, the horn has always worked.Could the clockspring still be the problem? I've been told that it could be the contacts in the switch because its a carbon to copper ring system. I would appreciate any help.

Have you checked the easy stuff first? My problem was a leak in the vacuum hose at the Cruise Control unit under the hood. Its kinda hidden down behind the battery and master cylinder......just a thought.

I have the 3-2 blink of the air bag light in my 94 XLT, but as horn and cruise work fine, I have learned to live with the light. Some of the fellows on here are of the opinion that there may be a connector issue in the steering column. I have other fish to fry, so the light continues to blink.
