Cruise Control

This is a great site!! I'm still an infant at this forum, but I love it.

I have a couple of questions about my 02 F250 PSD.

1. My cruise control does not turn on at all. I haven't used it for months, but I decided to yesterday and it wouldn't work. Suggestions?

2. I can smell what appears to be axle grease in the rear drivers side wheel well. I had to replace the pumpkin cover a few months back because it had a hole in it. Could it be a seal leaking?

Thanks for the help.

not sure about the grease smell, but someone will chime in who does. But I read somewhere on here about the cruise control, something about a 3rd brake light being out. Also have you checked all your fuses?

Checked the fuses, ok. I'll search for the earlier thread regarding the brake light. Thanks.

Does your truck have the CCV mod? I've got it on mine, with the hose run to rear of the truck and it smells a little axle grease-ish.

I don't have the CCV mod. Mine is boring plain stock. FOR NOW. When I bought tires last it looked like something might have been leaking at one time, but it didn't look fresh.
