Cruise control not working

When I bought my truck a few months ago, the cruise worked. I noticed that it didn't work a little while after I changed the code to calibrate it for larger tires. It could have stopped working before that, as I don't use the cruise much. No burn fuses, and the speedo/odometer works fine, I know they are connected. Speed sensor is working correctly. The cruise doesn't work at all.


Primary rig is Green Thunder:
95' F-150 XLT 4x4, 302, 5 spd, MSD 6A, Flowmaster American Thunder Exhaust, Sunroof, Clear corners w/ Diamond headlights, CD player with 2 10" subs and some 32" BFG Muds .

Check out my Gallery for a look-see.

Then theres:
99' Mustang GT 4.6L
88' F-250 Heavyduty 4x4 351/c6
95' Mercury Cougar 4.6L V-8
80' E-350 300/6 with a
3 spd column shifter. Weighs around 7,000lbs w. 65mph top speed, who wants to race me!

Could be any number of things but I've found it to usually be the cable or the diaphram on the vacuum ball. I've had several of those break over the years. Also check all your vacuum lines.

Is your horn working? Ford's are known for the horn bracket to ground out, which will blow the horn fuse. Since the horn and cruise are ran together on most Ford's, it takes it out also. Might want to check that. If it is, get another horn from Ford, or one from Auto Zone for $9.00
