Cruise control crapped out........1994 XLT

Hi,



My cruise control died while on a trip recently.



I checked the fuse under the dash but it's OK....



What else???



Thanks


Makes sure that the brake lights are working properly, that the cable is hooked up at the throttle linkage and at the actuator... and that the horn and speedometer both work, too. These are the simple checks that can be made.... if the problem isn't apparent after these steps, let us know and we can get a little more detailed.

Horn??? Was that just a touch of humor???

Actually, no.... just eliminating the possibility of a short to power or ground inside the column as a cause....
