Thanks, so basically I need to start with the module and make sure that is not frozen? Also, would the reverse lights not working have anything to do with the cruise not working?

Speed control

Wait a second, if your truck is a 1990 you don't have the module! You have the vacuum/electric type. Sorry! Dale

He still has a module under the dash but it does not look like what he is thinking above.

Clock Spring

[QUOTE=redlightning93;7699388]Does your horn blow?

If not it sounds like a Clock Spring.


Does it also affect cruise control and make your airbag light activate? Only a great relationship with a mechanic kept my truck i inspection current. I didn't tell him and he didn't ask! That's a great relationship! He knows I'll fix it.

You've got a short to ground on whatever that fuse controls.

My '95 Bronco cruise control doesn't work. I've checked the relevant fuses in both boxes and performed the shut off switch replacement. Had the top off the servo and it moves smoothly without any binding. There was power indicated at the plug to the servo. My brake lights work and my horn works. I understand there is a cruise control relay. Where would I find that? Also, despite moving the big gear on the servo manually, I didn't see any movement at the throttle body. Could the cable be broken or bound? If so, how would the servo mechanism be able to move?

Two further questions: 1) Does a '95 Bronco have a dash light to indicate that the cruise control is on? Where would that be located and, for the record, if it does have one mine isn't working. 2) I found a video on cleaning the steering wheel switches with electrical cleaner, but the featured Ford vehicle was a later model. Can the steering wheel buttons be removed from the switches to permit access with a cleaning solution?

What has the horn got to do with anything? My horn has never worked and until recently the cruise worked just fine.

For some reason my speed controll only works when I get a brake light when I apply the parking brake. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt. If I wiggle the parking break pedal it'll come on then my cruise control will work. If it doesnt light up cruise doesnt work
