| F250 cruise controlMy F250 diesel cruise control does'nt work I know of at least 3 others of the 2000 year that won't, is it a class problem any suggestions ? |
| I have a 2000 F-250 Diesel and my cruise control quit working too. It worked intermittantly for a while but now has stopped altogether. I am wondering if it is a class problem as well. Anyone out there have any suggestions? |
#207/28/08 16:51Bobby Williams | I have a 2000 F-250 that I bought used. I didn't think to test the cruise control, but it doesn't work. I guess we all find this link when we googe, but no one has an answer. |
#307/28/08 16:52Bobby Williams | My message should have said Google, not googe. |
| there is a recall for the decel switch it is on the end of the master cylinder if it is bad it will be leaking unplug it so u dont have a fire and thay should replace it if under recall |
#512/10/08 12:26jason keene | i have a 2002 f 250 and my turn signals and cruise control , tail lights brake lights and guage lights all stop working if i put in a new fuse it will only last for about 5 minutes then it will blow any sugestions? |
| Warning! 1) Check if your Ford is on the recall list. 2) If it is, take it to a dealer to fix it. I would not advise putting a fuse in, the cause of the fires is due to the breach in a thin film between the master cylinder side of the switch and the electrical side of the switch which is "hot" even when the vehicle is off and standing. Powering that circuit back up, could cause a fire under the circumstances listed in the recall. Hope that helps. Garry |
| I expected the mfg fix to address the hazard. I did not expect the mfg fix to leave the cruise control disabled and unusable. Was this intended? |
#806/30/09 14:14Chuck McD | I have a 2001 F250 diesel. I could never get the cruise control to respond when the buttons were pressed. Pried the buttons out and broke the little "ears" that hold them in place. But, the switch buttons were exposed and the system responds correctly when they were pressed. All butons & switches come as a package and cost over $90. I'm going to ckeck for a recall when I go to pick them up. Will let you know results |
#907/01/09 07:32Chuck McD | According to the service at the local Ford dealer, there has been no recall for the 2001 F250 diesel on cruise control problems. So, the remedy for my problem of no contact between the buttoms on the steering wheel and the switch only cost $198.90. Four switches, $87.60. Installation $111.30. What a racket! |
| I have a manual trans (5.4L gas). Odd that the cruise control option was even available. I rarely used it except on straightaways. My expectation was that the Ford-engineered repair/retrofit would not have diminished other functionality. I mean, why didn't Ford simply cut the master cylinder harness and call it good if they didn't intend for the cruise control to work?? |
| 2002 Ford F-250...the 4 wheel, cruise control and overdrive didn't work. Per the maint manual (nothing in the owner's manual) on the cruise control I replaced fuse 34 & checked 27 suddenly the 4wheel drive started working. I'll have to update later on the cruise control...a couple of beers were necessary celebration for curing the 4 wheel problem! In days of old, my 1949 Ford had like 6 fuses of the glass type. Opening the fuse box told the story as a triggered fuse was obvious. Now they have like 100 fuses and a few fusible links. If one is lucky enough to find the darn things each must be removed to be checked. It's a shame that Ford has not seen fit to publish as "as-built" for the electrical system. Maybe others will list system fuses. |
| I have a 2000 F250 7.3L Diesel; cruise control works only when it wants too! I think based on the # of comments in this forum it is a Ford problem and should be recalled. |
| Add me to ther list of MANY people with the cruise control issue. |
#1410/03/09 10:51BillofCa. | I received a Recall 05S28 from Ford, saying to make an appointment with my local Ford Dealer. Regarding an open safety recall to address a potential underhood fire risk on my vehicle. Ford says my vehicle hasn't inspected or repair. A fire could occur at any time, even if not running. Its a no-charge service to replace or repair the speed control system. My appointment is for next Tueday morning. www.genuineservice.com I bought this 1999 F-250 from the Ford Dealership two years ago, shouldn't it have been repaired already? |
| I too have a 2000 F250 7.3 diesel with a cruise control that only works when it wants to! Any word from Ford? |
| 2002 F250 Cruise quit working a few weeks after purchase in Sept. 2009. Found out about master cylinder switch problem and checked for fluid. Found fluid coming out of switch plug. This truck had already had the fusable link installed. The fuse is blown. Bypassed the fusable link with the original terminal. Observed small amount of smoke in the leaking switch. Unplugged. Obviously Ford did not permantely fix this problem. |
| The new 2009 recall appears to be very similar to the previous recall, circa 1999. The speed sensor design on the master cylinder still has a failure mode that allows current draw in a portion of the sensor body that cannot withstand excessive heat. The fix on my '00 F250 is a new speed sensor harness that disables the entire cruise control function. This fix was probably something they could enact overnight. Fair enough. Maybe they need to sink some of that new gravy profit in a better R&D effort. |
| Took my 2000 F250 diesel in for ford recall cruise control started working like new. Looks like it was a bad deactivate switch at master cylinder. They also replaced jumper harness. |
#1912/08/09 20:56brian bigdog | the best thing any ford owner can do to help the performance and quality of there ford is to take it out in the desert and place one (just 1)stick of tnt up the tail pipe and light the fuse and run as fast as they can this will help all ford ownwers problems trust me it did mine!!!!!!!fords suck!! |
| 02 F-250 Super Duty 4 WD. Mine cruise control quit also. Worked one day, the next it didn't. |
#2101/07/10 12:58Jack Hill | I have a 2007 Ford F250 Pick up. It has been working fine, but recently, the Cruise Control quit working. I have looked in the manual to find any way to troubleshoot this problem. Apparently the cruise control is not governed by a fuse, because there is not any fuse listed for the cruise control. Has anyone had this problem and did you figure out what to do about it? Jack |
#2201/14/10 12:33C R Johnson | I have an F150 Larait 4X4. Purchased a GPS and the cruise did not work. I stopped restarted the truck....nothing. I disconnected the GPS and turned it off, the cruise control worked. I took it in several yrs ago when it was recalled for the cruise fire problem. Is the GPS interfering with the cruise control. How do I fix it? Thanks |
| 96 F350 7.3 in for "the recall" today...heading down the road afterward (for an appointment) and the cruise control no longer works (it worked fine beforehand). It's getting so EVERYone is inept / incompetent when it comes to doing their job. I'm pretty certain I'll end up troubleshooting / fixing the issue... |
| I just got the recall fixed today on my 2002 F250 with V10 gas engine. The speed control switch was leaking, I could not take the shifter out of park unless I started the truck in neutral, and my cruise control didn't work. The recall fixed the first two, but my cruise is still dead. I can't find the fuse, and no reference to it in the owner's manual. Does anyone know where to look for the fuse? |
