Cruise not working on 05 Taurus

Ran the diagnostic of the switch, all seems good. checked fuses 17 and 27 (for speed control) and they are good. Does the ICP have something to do with cruise control as well? What else can I check to diagnose the problem?

SOURCE: cruise control won't work

Does the on light in the dash come on? If not, you may have a broken switch in the steering wheel which is a fairly cheap repair. Otherwise, the controls work through the Printed Circuit Board in your dash (your instrument cluster) and the problem could be as simple as a solder defect or faulty component. The problem is that no Ford Service Technician that I know will touch this and tell you that you need to replace it.

The instrument cluster is very easy to replace but may cost you a few more dollars than you want to spend. I would have someone with an electrical background check the cruise control switches in your steering wheel with a multimeter before going any further with this. Also check the wiring for resistance leading from the switch to the cluster.

SOURCE: 2003 expedition cruise control inoperative no

I'm having the same issue with mine. Just checked both fuses #5 and #12 under the dash, but both are fine. Can't find Relay #302 for the speed servo. 2003's aren't listed in the recall. Ugh!

SOURCE: cruise control will not turn on. light on dash use

Did you have the recall for the cruise control done ?
recall 05S28. Description: Speed Control Deactivation Switch.

It could be the fuse in the recall harness is blown.

Try the Cruise Control Self test :
----------------------------------
Self-Test Diagnostics

WARNING:
This test is a key on engine off (KOEO) test only that is conducted in park only with emergency brake fully engaged.

1. Enter self-test diagnostics by depressing the speed control OFF switch while turning the ignition key ON, making sure the engine does not start and is not running. The speed control indicator on the instrument panel will flash once to indicate that speed control module entered the diagnostic mode. Five additional flashes at this point indicate a defective speed control servo. Release the OFF switch.

2. Press the remaining switches in this sequence: ON, RESUME, COAST and SET/ACCEL.

If the ON switch is not depressed within five seconds after entering the diagnostics mode, the module times out and the procedure must be started over.

The speed control indicator lamp will flash as each switch is depressed. Press each switch in the sequence immediately after the indicator light goes out for the previous switch.

Note:
There will be a slight delay when the last button is pressed and the lamp flashes.

3. A lamp flash with the last button (SET/ACCEL) indicates that the static test passed. If the lamp does not flash with the last button and there are no additional flashes of the lamp, the switch is defective.

If the lamp does not flash with the last button, and additional flashes occur, follow the chart below for trouble codes:

— 2 flashes - BPP defective, circuit is defective, brake applied, CPP switch or jumper (if equipped).

— 3 flashes - deactivator switch is open or circuit defective.

— 4 flashes - vehicle speed signal is out of range or circuit is defective

4. Immediately (.25 second delay) after the static test, the speed control servo does a dynamic test by automatically actuating the throttle lever from 8 mm (0.315 in) to 12 mm (0.472 in) of travel from the idle position. During the dynamic throttle pull, observe throttle movement to witness any binding or sticking of the speed control cable and correct connection of speed control cable to throttle lever. Make sure the throttle returns to the idle position.

5. Return the ignition switch to the OFF position and proceed to the Symptom Chart.
----------------------------

If the Cruise Control does not enter self test, the fuse in the recall harness ( if done ) is most likely blown and needs to be replaced.

Testimonial: "thank you very much"

It could be a blow fuse in the recall harness, if you did have it done.

Try the self test, and see what the results are. If you do not get it into self test mode, it could be the fuse in teh recall harness that is blown. The 1st revision of the recall harness was an inline ATM fuse, not sure if the revision 2 was the same. If that fuse is blown, the switch is leaking, and should be checked.

SOURCE: 2001 F-150 cruise control stopped working.

really tough to do on the net but first we need to know about any codes...

Hold speed control OFF button, and turn ignition switch to RUN position. CRUISE indicator should flash once to indicate successful entry into self-diagnostic mode. If CRUISE indicator does not flash, start procedure over. If CRUISE indicator still does not flash, repair system by symptom there might be some switch concern

If CRUISE CONTROL indicator flashes once followed by 5 additional flashes, replace speed control servo/actuator.

Release speed control OFF button. Within 5 seconds in entering self-diagnostics, press speed control ON button. Press remaining speed control buttons in the following sequence; ON, RES, COAST and SET/ACCEL.

As each button is pressed, CRUISE indicator will flash.

Wait until indicator light goes out, then press next button. After sequence has been completed, indicator light will flash to indicate test passed or failed. With the codes we can then better diagnose your concern

Immediately after static test has passed, actuator performs a dynamic test by automatically operating throttle .04-.40" (1-10 mm). Observe throttle movement to witness any sticking in cable or linkage. Ensure throttle returns properly. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. If self-diagnostics do not pinpoint fault there is more we can do but tough over the net

Which fuse is used for the cruise control on a 2005 Ford Expedition? I found location 5 for the speed control deactivation switch. Is there another fuse related to the cruise control?

Speed Control The vehicle speed control system consists of the following components:
  • speed control switches
  • speed control deactivator switch
  • stoplamp switch
  • speed control indicator
  • powertrain control module (PCM)
  • electronic controlled throttle body (ECT)
  • clockspring
  • Principles of Operation
    The speed control system is controlled by the powertrain control module (PCM). The speed control system is designed to maintain a selected vehicle speed between 48 and 200 km/h (30 and 124 mph). The speed control system is controlled by the steering wheel mounted switch(es) (ON, OFF, SET+ [ACCEL], SET- [COAST], RESUME), and the brake pedal switches (stoplamp and speed control deactivator switches). The steering wheel mounted switch(es) are hardwired to the PCM through the clockspring.
    The speed control functions include:
    • turn on the speed control system
    • set and maintain the desired vehicle speed
    • accelerate the vehicle to a higher speed
    • coast down to a lower speed
    • tap-up/tap-down the vehicle speed
    • resume the prior vehicle speed
    • turn off the vehicle speed control system
    • Inspection and Verification
      1. Verify the customer concern.
      1. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.


      Visual Inspection Chart Mechanical Electrical
      • Throttle body
      • Central junction box (CJB) fuse 5 (7.5A)
      • Circuitry
      • Stoplamp switch
      • Speed control deactivator switch
      • Powertrain control module (PCM)
      • Speed control switches

      1. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.
      1. Verify the speedometer operates correctly without speed control by test driving the vehicle. If the speedometer does not operate correctly, refer to Section 413-01 .
      1. Verify the parking brake warning indicator operates correctly. If the parking brake warning indicator does not operate correctly, refer to Section 413-01 .
      1. If the cause is not visually evident, connect the diagnostic tool to the data link connector and select the vehicle to be tested from the diagnostic tool menu. If the diagnostic tool does not communicate with the vehicle:
        • Check that the program card is correctly installed.
        • Check the connections to the vehicle.
        • Check the ignition switch position.
      1. If the diagnostic tool still does not communicate with the vehicle, refer to the diagnostic tool operating manual.
      1. Carry out the diagnostic tool data link test. If the diagnostic tool responds with:
        • CAN circuits fault; all electronic control units no response/not equipped, refer to Section 418-00 .
        • No response/not equipped for PCM, refer to Section 418-00 .
        • System passed, retrieve and record the continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), erase the continuous DTCs, and carry out the self-test diagnostics for the PCM.
      1. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index.
      1. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, GO to Symptom Chart . The PCM supply's a low voltage to the switches ,the switch is an input to the PCM . The PCM controls the electronic throttle control DC motor .
      2. Your best bet , take your vehicle to a qualified repair shop . Not a fuse problem . Having the vehicle checked for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble code would be the first step in the diagnostic procedure Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index DTCs Description Source Action P0500 Vehicle Speed Error PCM REFER to Section 307-01A or Section 307-01B . P0579 Cruise Control Multifunction Input A Circuit Range/Performance PCM Go To Pinpoint Test C . P0581 Cruise Control Multifunction Circuit High PCM Go To Pinpoint Test C .

How to fix cruise control on a 2006 ford freestar, does not work at all, wont turn on

Note the diagram, at least check the fuse. Check trouble codes, related to cruise control. to check codes yourself, at least, you need an obd2 code reader that will read po codes as well as manufacturer specific codes. It is worth the investment, in my opinion. Make sure the brake lites work.

Why wont the cruise control work on a 2005 ford taurus but the cruise light comes on

The first thing to check is the tail lights. The cruise control will not work if any lights are out. Changing to LED tail lights also causes the cruise to not work.
