If the horn works the clockspring may be OK.
You may have a VSS problem.

 

Thanks for posting this. I was about to head to the junkyard to grab a module to throw it at it to see if that fixed mine not working. It has been broken for about 8 years now. Opened my module and everything looked good but none of the gears would rotate. Even after loosening the cable. Grab the needle nose, and a little force+ a shot of wd40 and its all free again. Works 100%!!

Wish I would have looked here sooner

 

It could be the clockspring but if your ABS light is flashing there is probably a brake issue that needs corrected first. If anything is wrong with the brake system, crusie will not work.

In my experiece its usually a missing/incorrect input to the cruise module/servo (false brake pedal switch input - module thinks brake is depressed, missing vehicle speed input, bad power or ground) that caused the cruise to be inop. Make sure you check the wiring before throwing parts at it!

 

I'm trying to get the cruise working on my 1994. The clock spring was bad and I just put in a new one. Now my horn works and the air bag light is off but still no cruise. I have checked the module and everything is free, all the brake lights work and I've checked all the fuses.

Does anybody have a test procedure. It looks like someone posted some info in this old thread but the links are no longer working.

Help please.

All links are working.

 

I know this is an old thread, but I have read all the messages & my problem seems a little different. I originally had a short that was blowing the brake light/shift reliese fuse & the Cruise control & the horn didn't work, plus the ABS light was blinking. I changed the clock spring & the cruise control pressure switch on the end of the mastercylinder. That fixed the shorting fuse. Now my brake lights work & the ABS light doesn't blink, but the cruise control & the horn still doesn't work. I also opened up thecruise control module & it was clean & free inside. What could be my problem now? Thanks for any help.

 

What year truck do you have?

 

1994 F-150 5.0 Auto Trans 2WD

 

I would say you have a bad clockspring or the a bad connection where it plugs in if all the fuses are good both under the hood and under the dash.

 

Don't I feel stupid! I raised the hood and the connector on the module was loose. I pushed it in tighter and now the horn works. I checked the gears again in the module and they seem free and able to turn alright. The cruise still doesn't work, but at least I feel i'm headed in the right direction.

 

Found this thread after searching the net and decided to join up.

Helping fix my grandpa's truck and his cruise quit working about a year ago.

94 F150 5.0 2wd.

Horn works, abs is working, no lights on.

After looking at this thread I guess the clock spring is hit or miss? All fuses under the dash and under the hood are good.

I guess I'll crack open the module and check the gears as described earlier in the thread. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Doesn't sound like the clock spring after reading, but I've been wrong before.

Any help?

 

I have been messing with my Speed control on and off for a few months, and after I saw the picture of the servo, I took mine off and opened it up, and it is packed with rust! I tried for a few days soaking it and no luck. I found one on eBay for a 1997 Lincoln for $51, got it changed the bracket to mount to my cab, and it works just like new. Thanks!! Dale

 

If the cruise module is frozen, would the cruise dash light still turn on? My 90 F250's horn and brake lights work. Sensor on master cylinder is zip tied on so that could be the issue.

 

There is not a cruise dash light in a 1990 Ford Truck.

 

I don't think Ford had a light in dash, until the 1997 F150s and the 1999 SuperDuty trucks. Dale
