Ok i have checked the fuses to see if they are still good and they are still functioning. but since ive had my truck i have not had cruise control... and it would be nice to have for long trips or in case i do sometime sell it. but anyway, what else could i check to get this running, because im sure it has something to so with wiring or something like that.
thanks

 

I take it you are talking about your 1995 F-150.


Possible Source(s):
Blown fuse.
Circuitry.
Stoplight switch.
Burnt stoplamp bulb.
Speed control actuator switch assembly.
Vehicle speed sensor.
Speed control servo.

 

is there any way to check... like by diagnostics testing... or do you have to just go through each item until you find the problem?

 

Follow this:

Action(s) to Take: GO to «A1» .

A1 VERIFY THERE IS POWER TO SPEED CONTROL SERVO
Disconnect harness connector from the speed control servo (9C735).
Use Rotunda 73 Digital Multimeter 105-00001 or equivalent to make the specified measurements at the harness connector.

A2 CHECK MODULE GROUND CIRCUIT
With ignition switch in OFF position, measure the resistance between Pin 10 (GND, Circuit 901) and ground point on the chassis.
Is resistance less than 5 ohm?
Yes
GND is OK, power to Module may be open. Check Fuse E in Power Distribution Box and Circuit 298. TEST for normal operation. GO to «A3»
No
REPAIR open in ground Circuit 901. TEST for normal operation.

A3 CHECK FOR STUCK STOPLIGHT SWITCH
With no brakes applied, measure the voltage between Pin 4 (BRK, Circuit 306) and Pin 10 (GND, Circuit 901).
Is the battery voltage (12v nom.)?
Yes
Stoplight switch (13480) is stuck on. REPLACE stoplight switch.
No
Stoplight switch is not stuck on. GO to «A4».

A4 CHECK BRAKE/CLUTCH CIRCUIT
With the ignition switch in OFF position, measure the resistance between Pin 4 (BRK, Circuit 306) and Pin 10 (GND, Circuit 901).
Is resistance less than 20 ohms?
Yes
Brake input Circuit OK. GO to «A5».
No
Brake light bulbs blown or brake circuit open. SERVICE circuit including clutch pedal position switch (CPP) (11A152).

A5 CHECK DEACTIVATOR CIRCUIT (AT MODULE CONNECTOR)
With ignition switch in OFF position, and with no brakes applied, measure the voltage between Pin 9 (deactivator, Circuit 307) and Pin 10 (GND, Circuit 901).
Is there battery voltage (12v nom.)?
Yes
GO to «A9».
No
No power from deactivator. GO to «A6».

A6 CHECK DEACTIVATOR SWITCH (AT SWITCH)
Make sure Step A5 has been done.
Remove body harness connector from deactivator switch. Measure the resistance between the two pins of the deactivator switch with no brakes applied.
Is resistance less than 1 ohm?
Yes
Deactivator switch OK. GO to «A7».
No
Deactivator switch defective. REPLACE switch. REPEAT Step «A5».

A7 VERIFY THERE IS POWER AT DEACTIVATOR HARNESS CONNECTOR
Measure voltage between Pin 1 (Circuit 10) of the deactivator switch harness connector and chassis ground.
Is there battery voltage (12v nom.)?
Yes
Power at connector OK. GO to «A8».
No
SERVICE for blown fuse or open in deact circuit.

A8 CHECK FOR OPEN CIRCUIT BETWEEN DEACTIVATOR SWITCH AND SERVO
Measure resistance from Pin 2 (Circuit 307) of deactivator switch and Pin 9 (DEACT) (Circuit 307) of service assembly of speed control servo.
Is resistance less than 1 ohm?
Yes
REPEAT Step «A5».
No
Open in wire harness. SERVICE as required.

A9 CHECK FOR STUCK ON SWITCH
With no speed control actuator switches depressed, measure the voltage between Pin 5 (COMMAND, Circuit 151) and Pin 10 (GND, Circuit 901).
Is there battery voltage (12v nom.)?
Yes
REPLACE switch.
No
ON switch not stuck. GO to «A10».

A10 CHECK ON SWITCH OPERATION
With ignition switch in OFF position with steering wheel ON switch depressed, measure voltage between Pin 5 (COMMAND, Circuit 151) and Pin 10 (GND, Circuit 901).
Is there battery voltage (12v nom.)?
Yes
ON switch OK. GO to «A12».
No
ON switch not functioning. GO to «A11».

A11 CHECK FOR OPEN CIRCUIT IN "ON" SWITCH GROUND
Make sure Step A10 has been done.
With horn depressed, measure voltage between Pin 6 (Circuit 848) and
chassis ground.
Is there battery voltage (12V nom.)?
Yes
REPLACE ON switch.
No
Open circuit or fuse in horn relay feed or open circuit in switch ground. SERVICE as required. REPEAT Step «A10».

A12 CHECK FOR STUCK COMMAND SWITCHES
With ignition switch in OFF position and with no steering wheel switches depressed, measure the resistance between Pin 5 (COMMAND, Circuit 151) and Pin 6 (COMMAND RTN, Circuit 848).
Is resistance greater than 3k ohms?Yes
No stuck switches. GO to «A13».
No
One of the command switches is stuck. REPLACE switch.

A13 CHECK SET/ACCEL SWITCH OPERATION
With ignition switch in OFF position and with the SET/ACCEL switch depressed, measure the resistance between Pin 5 (COMMAND, Circuit 151) and Pin 6 (COMMAND RTN, Circuit 848).
Is resistance approximately 680 ohms?
Yes
Switch is OK. GO to «A14».
No, less than 640 or greater than 720 ohms
Switch not functioning. REPLACE switch.

A14 VERIFY SPEED SIGNAL
Operate vehicle by raising the rear wheels. Set speed at 30 mph. Use an AC voltmeter to measure the voltage between Pin 3 (SPEED SIG, Circuit 679) and Pin 10 (GND, Circuit 901).
Is voltage reading 4-5 volts?
Yes
Speed signal OK. GO to «A15».
No
SERVICE Programmable Speedometer/Odometer. GO to «Section 13-01A».

A15 CHECK FOR BROKEN OR BOUND ACTUATOR CABLE
Remove speed control actuator from speed control servo. Check for broken speed control actuator by pulling on speed control actuator and noting throttle movement.
Is speed control actuator OK?
Yes
REPLACE speed control servo.
No
SERVICE speed control actuator.
