cruise control

I use my cruise alot. But unlike any other vechile I have ever driven, this truck's cruise will just shut off at randomtimes. Then it takes a little while til I can get it to turn back on. Any ideas?

Replace the sensor on the front of the master cylinder (BPA) Brake Pedal Applied.
It may have fluid in it.
The BPA has a recall, they start fires. I know of 3 ford trucks that burned up (all gassers). One of them was in a garage...took the house with it.

If your speedo is boucing the RABS is suspect. It will shut the CC off or the truck may surge.

I have read that there is also another sensor/switch at the clutch pedal under the dash inside the cab.

Switch under the dash is the same as the Clutch Starting switch too... so thats good


but the one on the master cylinder is something I will look into.
