Cruise Control
 

About a month ago my cruise stopped workin for a week and then worked once then quit again. When i tried to lock my truck with the remote the horn never honked. Also when you pull the blinker back nothin happens no brights or anythin. So is there anything i could check or is it a relay or wiring harness or what? Any suggestions are welcome. Im haulin some hay on a three hour trip this weekend so hopefully it wont take to long to get fixed.

Have you checked fuses?

Do your blinkers work?

I sure have checked the fuses. And yes my blinkers and Hazards also work.

I know there was a recall on the cruise control system due to it malfunctioning. I still get letters from the ford stealership cuz i haven't gone in yet.... Just an idea :rocking:

Yea but would those recalls effect the horn and brights?

everything is connected to everything in one way or another. so it very well could be related.

I called the ford dealership and they said that they "can't track recalls on vehicles that old" exact quote haha! But i also asked them what recalls there are that have to do with the cruise and they said that there was no recalls what so ever on that year of powerstrokes......:td:

your dealer is an idiot, with all due respect. they did have a recall on the cruise control system. they put in a little 3 connection harness that takes a whooping 20 seconds to install. the recall was due to some fires being starting if i remember correctly. i had to take my 95 and my dads 99 in to have it done. if youre in a position where you can call a different dealer nearby i would ask them.

yea so i called a dealer about 30 min. the other way. (I live in the middle of nowhere) They said the exact same thing.

What a scam!

Maybe i can find you a reference # or something like that to help you out. I have the paperwork at my office from pioneer ford, so i'll get back to you.
