Cruise/ ABS

Hey, Ive got some driving that im going to be doing now in my bronco and i would like to get my cruise control back up and working. Now earlier this summer ive done a little investigation in why its not working. I tested to see if i had resistance in the sensors on the rear axle and i didnt have any. So i went ahead and bought a new sensor, put it in and nothing. Before i go spending anymore money can someone tell me where to start. Is this a common problem? Is my Cruise Control not working due to my abs. I should also add that i redid my breaks with new rear drums pads and hardware kit, and the front rotors turned and new pads. I also cleaned up the sensor wheel inside the hub. Im thinking towards the lines of my front speed sensors are bad. What do you guys think..........

thanks for posting the year.

if you have an airbag than the clockspring may be bad and the horn would also not work.

4WASB 1995 Bronco

Are you saying that your ABS does not work? If so post the ASB codes and maybe we can go from there.
Here is how to get the codes if you do not know how.

Light Flash Technique

1. NOTE: If 12V test light is not available, the amber ABS warning light also flashes during this test.

Locate test connector in the engine compartment and install 12V test light between Pin C and E.

2. With the ignition off, jumper Pin E to B.

3. Turn ignition switch to RUN position.

4. Remove jumper between Pins E and B after 5 seconds.

5. Count light flashes of test light or amber ABS warning light.

Cruise Control 1995 Bronco

Have you taken it in to a Ford dealer for the switch mod for the fires?
If not do that first, the switch on the MC may be bad, let them change it for free.

Sorry i just read further and that chart was for a 89, i also had my father help me because running form the engine compartment to the drivers seat and not missing any lights is near impossible lol, i ran the test again and it was code 27. had two flashes then a pause then 7 more flashes after that. I dont have a chart for this. Again im running the ABS Self Test on a 95 Ford bronco with a 351. Thanks

Verify terminals at Pins 17 and 27 are clean and secure in the anti-lock brake electronic control module harness connector.

Measure resistance between Pins 17 and 27.
Is reading between 3 and 6 ohms?
