SOURCE: cruise control

The cruise control should have a fuse in the interior fuse block, and a larger fuse and/or relay under hood in the relay center block. Test them with an automotive test light (You can purchase these for anywhere from $5.00 to $50.00 depending on the quality you want and the place of purchase).

If you find a bad fuse or primary fuse, obviously those need to be replaced. Relays can't be tested readily using the light. Unfortunately the simplest method for finding out if a relay is bad is to replace it. The relay for that cruise runs between $15.00 to $20.00 depending where you purchase.

Let me know how it goes and we'll see what more we can do!

SOURCE: how do i use cruise control on focus

The two left buttons on the left turn ON/OFF the system so that you can use the three right buttons to use the cruise control.

Once you turn ON the cruise, accellerate to the speed you want to travel. Once you reach the cruise speed, press the middle (set) button and the system takes over. As soon as you press the OFF key on th left, your car will coast / de-accelerate. ... or , if you tap on the brake pedal or press the brake pedal to stop, the cruise control will dis-engage.
WARNING
Before you get into traffic, test the use of the system..
Also, the system may not be working, so it is important that you test it before you use in traffic.

I use mine 90% of the time, even in everyday driving, not just on the highway.

Testimonial: "Haven't tried it but i think it will work. THANKS"

SOURCE: fuel pump replacement on 2005 ford focus

Are you sure that you need to replace the pump? I drive a 54 plate mk2 1.6 zetec that wouldn't always start and I was told it was the fuel pump in the tank but because the fault was intermitant I didn't have it fitted and found out that the car didn't start because the fuel lift pump wasn't priming the system before starting. I found that there was a faulty connection on the relay for the pump that is in the compartment under the glove compartment.

If the cruise lamp comes on and the cruise does not set i would advise inspecting the cruise cable and make certain it is not broken, if ok the the servo has likely failed.

I have a 2011 ford focus se and the cruise control went out. could the fix be as easy as a relay replacement? or would it be the control?

Could be a bad fuse or relay, but one of the more common problems is the brake pedal "kick out" switch being dislodged or misadjusted.

I would buy a Chilton's manual, they will have step by step instructions. About 3-4 pages worth, to much to type here.

Cruise control not working

My 2002 Focus cruise control doesn't work either. From what I've read, it can be a switch down at the brake pedal, or a fuse in the fuse box.

Cruise control not working

The cruise in this car is fully electronic and it is controlled by the powertrain control module, what must be done is to have the cruise control system scanned to see what the problem is.

2005 FORD MUSTANG . CRUISE CONTROL QUIT WORKING

check switches for cruise control, and the electric motor for 'pulling' the cable for cruise control for the throttle body. Check fuse for cruise.

That's all I can think of for, now.

How do i use cruise control on focus

Hello,
First the vehicle has to be operating at least 35mph. There will be two sets of switches, one set is to the left and the other set is to the right of the horn on the steering wheel. The switches on the left will be labeled on/off, the ones on the right we be labeled Coast/Accel/Resume..

At a steady highway speed press the ON switch, (at the left hand side of the horn) This will activate and turn the speed control system ON...

Then you have to set and adjust your desired speed...

To SET YOUR DESIRED speed , press and hold the accel switch (Right side of Horn) until your desired speed has been reached and then release the switch.. Speed control will now be on, activated and set, you will be in cruise mode..

If you need to coast due to possible traffic, press and hold the coast switch as long as you need to.. This is like taking your foot off of the accelerator pedal.. When you let go of the coast switch you will return to you set cruising speed.

Stepping on the brake pedal at any time will deactivate the system.. If you step on the brake, and then want to return to your previous set cruising speed... All you have to do is press resume...

I hope this has helped you? You can find detailed speed control activation instructions in your 2005 Ford Focus Owners manual.. If you did not receive your owners manual when you bought the vehicle.. You can purchase one at your local Ford, Lincoln or Mercury dealership..
