Try checking the small switch at the top of the brake pedal. There may be two one for brake lights and one for the cruise control. To ascertain what is what, pull one wire off and see if brake lights work. If not, then the other switch controls the cruise control disconnect and engage..I you have a DC test light check to see if power is on on both side of the switch with brake pedal up. If so, depress pedal and check power on the other side there should be none, if there is the switch is defective.
Just to be sure... (since i just did this today). Steering wheel CC would turn on, but didn't actually work and nothing on the dash indicated. I replaced the brake switch like all sites tell us to do first. Ran the truck over 25mph and hit the CC button. Nothing on the dash, darn... but... when i hit the set button CC worked and dash indicator came on. Moral to this story is the dash light does not illuminate until the Set button is engaged! Maybe a duh moment, but i was disappointed there for a minute.
Make sure there aqre no warning lights on the dash on, check the brake fluid it needs to be near the full mark, check the brake lights and be sure they are all working, if the cruise indicator light does not turn on check the fuses on the inside dash at the lower left.
The best suggestion would be that the cruise control needs replaced. The problem could be in your column but this is rare. Cruise controls can only take so much abuse and many people are unaware of the abuse they give. Constant on and off or accelerating manually while cruise control is on can burn up your cruise control.
the servo is bad more than likely or the switch in the car. You will need a technician to check this one out. I do think the inside switch is good if the cruise indicator light comes on for you
Check the speed sensor. Look up the location at autozone .com or google. It is either near the tranny or at the passenger side wheel. The speed sensor is almost always connected to cruise control problems.
There is another recall for the cruise control. Once Ford added the inline fuse, electrical problems with transmissions, brake lights, and dash indicators started.
The dealer can run your Vin# and the recall is free.
