Found the document and went through the procedure. When I pressed the Set Acc button I got two flashes. Turned out to be the clutch switch. It wasn’t aligned properly because I pulled the dash out this weekend to replace the A/C evap coil. The harness was too short and I didn’t realize I caused the switch to pull forward, twist and get out of alignment.
Thanks for the great video Jack!
Fantastic. I have a 1998 auto Ghia. Beautiful car. Cruise control wasn't working and was driving me nuts til I saw this vid. I checked the module, found the cable was disconnected...now I have cruise control.
A great feeling
My gratitude to you.
Great to hear!
Top little video Jack! Thanks for your clear and concise instructions. I'm hoping this will give me a starting point to fix my cruise control on my 2005 Ford Escape with 350, 000 km's & still rolling! Thanks from Brisbane, Australia.
It will not actuate if the cruise deactivation fuse is bad. Replaced fuse no codes and it actuate. I have replaced the switch already and forgot to check the fuse. All is good now. Thanks for taking the time to make the video.
Good info. Thanks
which fuse is that
The fuse on the brake master cylinder deactivation switch. The updated in line fuse.
This worked. I replaced the grey switch first because I had read that one is for the CC, didn't change anything so I replaced the blue brake pedal switch and that fixed it. Botch switches tested good with my meter but the actuator rod on the blue switch was sunk in so far that the brake pedal wasn't able to move the rod far enough for the electrical connection to happen. New blue switch had a crazy long plastic rod but they will adjust themselves to the proper length once installed.
Thanks for the video. This worked on my 2000 Mercury Mountaineer. Saved me $$$, I'm sure. 🙂👍
Thanks, man it was my brake switch that bench tested well but wasn't!
Glad it helped
Thanks for taking the time to help some of us out.
Very helpful with the test it showed open brake switch which I had already tested it just wasn't being pushed in far enough huge help thanks
Glad it helped
Thank you for the great video....
I ONLY get the 1st blinking light when you turn the ignition switch 2 times while holding the OFF button, but none of the other 4 buttons blink at all pushing them within 1 sec apart(no light at all. I even tried it a few other times and still no blinking light at all on the rest of the buttons). I checked the fuse on #15 and #22 by hood released under steering wheel area (I believe these 2 are the ones control the Cruise Control), and they are ok, not blown. Any suggestions?
Great video. thank you.
outstanding content
...and disappointingly, the TSB doesn't really suggest that a cruise control issue could also be a clock spring issue.
My Cruise control is not working on mine, Does this work on a 2008 Ford Ranger, I'm trying to do yhe sequence and I don't even get any lights flashing, and my cruise control light failed the bulb test ?
does this work on the 6.0 powerstroke crown vics?
Well, mine is a Grand Marquis 1998, did the "Cruise control check" using the steering wheel and everting is perfect but the Cruise control won't keep the vehicle at speed even thought I get the message on the cluster
Hi
I did it my self and at the first I did the off bitten and 3keys
It worked but after that I pressed bitten by sequence but nothing happened 😭
What sould I worried about
I have an 02 f150, replaced pressure switch on master cylinder, diagnostic test passes and pulls throttle. Still no cruise when driving. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thank you
Greetings from the Republic of Moldova
The day before yesterday I found such a block at the metal reception, And I have it with 10 leads, I'm just doing electronics, I was curious what kind of block I took it, Ideal everything is spinning Everything is fine. Someone can tell me what conclusions are responsible for what where is the plus? Plus one more commentary on the promotion channel. Thanks.
I wonder why the 98-02 towncar isn't listed the same engine layout
Thank you 🙏
My cruise light doesn’t cover on at all. Any ideas?
I have the same issue on a 2001 Ford Taurus SEL. Not sure what the problem is, if I find a solution I’ll let you know :)
@@joshuastover Mine turned out to be the brake cruise disengage switch on the master cylinder. It works fine, now.
My 2000 F250 cruise works but dash light that reads Cruise doesn’t come on! Ideas?
If everything works it could just be a bad bulb (burnt out) or a wiring issue between the module and the cluster.
@@JackofAllMasterofNone cool, I’ll look to see what it takes to change the bulb! (I’ll check fuses first of course!)
Downloaded the TSB. Thankyou. But most of the TSB says to refer to the WSM. Can you add a link to that too? I can't find it.
There is no published online Ford service manual, unless you want to pay for it. If you follow this procedure it is easy to narrow it down. Normally a bad clock spring has other symptoms such as an airbag light and / or a non functioning horn.

Does the cruise control stop working without that light? Mines never worked either.
my cruise control passes all the tests locks in sometimes...only when I'm driving home from Vegas..lol
Hi man, how can fix it cruise control Mondeo Mk1. Not function. You can help me please?
Hello ,I did your test with the light bulb ,exactly how you said , I got no pull test but I also got 3 flashes when I did the test, According to the print out it says that I have a brake deactivation switch that's open or damaged.
1 question will the pull test work if that switch is bad open or damaged?
2 question where is that switch because I can't find it
If you can help anyone?
This is a 2002 ford crown victory police Interceptor with no cruise control, I added a steering wheel with cruise control and got the cruise control device from the junkyard. Can someone help me please, any answers will help ,thanks
Honestly I don't know if the pull test will work if the switch is open or damaged but the brake deactivation switch on that year should just be another switch on the brake pedal assembly itself.
@@JackofAllMasterofNone ok ,I understand, i bought a new deactivation switch, a blue color one ,will install it and hope that fixes the issue ,I found that blue switch way up there by the break pedal and it has a wire connection to it , hopefully this works. I will try the test again and see if the pull test works. IF not I will return the junkyard part back and find me another one . Wish me luck ,thanks again for answering. Thanks
@@JackofAllMasterofNone
I replaced the deactivation switch on the brake pedal for the cruise control ,and that was the fix . Now the cruise control works .
Remember I asked you if the pull test would work if the deactivation switch was bad. Well I replaced the switch and once i did the pull test worked, the deactivation switch was the problem, so now we know the answer, thanks again for all your help ,I now have cruise control on my 2002 crown vic thanks to you. 👍
So glad to hear it worked. That's awesome
I hope that someone can help me.. I have a 1997 E-150 with a 5.4 V-8 auto trans.. After setting my cruise it will slowly increases speed.. What is wrong with it??
Does that work for ford econoline e150 I have not found a video on econoline e150
On older ones with a linkage controlled cruise servo yes
Good video
Thanks
I have a question can the cruise control make the car or truck run wide open all the time
It should not be able to. But a stuck manual linkage could cause this. The way to check it to unclip the cruise actuator cable from the throttle body and see if that makes a difference.
The Cruise box It’s only a gasoline engine not diesel, correct
Yes
I did the test on my 04, it only blinks when I press the ON button, the RES, COAST, and SET ACC don't give any blinks
Maybe clock spring issue
Off....1 light
On.....1 light
Resume....no light
Coast...no light
Set...no light
What will be the problem?
I clicked on the link and it takes me to a page that says downloading but it won't download the document is there another way to get to the link I tried Google ing it and I cant find anything
Just checked the link and it works fine. Not sure what you are using to look at it but try another device.
@@JackofAllMasterofNone I got it thank you
Is there a similar procedure for a 2005 Crown Vic? 🍺
No. They have electronic throttle bodies and ecu controlled cruise.
nice info!
I ordered a brand new blue switch for my 2005 f150 and my cruise control with the other buttons in the steering wheel still not working, is there a fuse for them
Does the horn work? Do you have an airbag light on? Could be the clock spring. A 2005 F150 has computer controlled cruise control. It does not have a module like this video. Could be your SCCM (steering wheel control module) also.
@@JackofAllMasterofNone horn works, no air bag light, so I give up, I'll buy a for sale sign this weekend, I bought the truck because every one said theu are reliable, but I think it's really trash, no radio control in steering wheel, no input jack in the radio, now I can't even see the miles in the instrument cluster at night when the dash is on, the features in the truck sucks
@@ralphwhitaker8761 I'm sorry anyone who told you a 2005 f150 is reliable was mistaken. Well I guess I should preface that by saying it depends on the engine. We had a 2005 F-150 but it had the 4.62 valve which is the reliable of the two
@@JackofAllMasterofNone lol thanks, well I guess I had to find out of my own, I think I'll give the ram 1500 a try or even may be Chevy Silverado or GM pick up, I'm putting this one for sale as of this weekend
@ralph whitaker Dude the truck is almost 20 years old! It's not going to have all the bells and whistles of a brand-new one. How many miles are on the truck?
When I pressed the buttons they all tested with 1 blink
i dont have all that on my drive by wire 2000 mgm....
and my cruise dont work
its all apart bc im in the middle of a pcm swap
Hey, I accidentally broke my throttle cable plastic, how can I replace that. I been trying to find how to replace.
