cruise control

I joined the forum a few days ago. My ride is a 1993 Ford Ranger XLT, 3.0 liter V-6, AT, 264,000+ miles. I bought it used in 1998, 122,000 miles. The only modification I've made was to install a Rostra cruise control. ...and a minor modification to the driver's seat back cover...

Thanks to all the great info on here, this is my first post. I joined on New Years Day of this year, and haven't had to post...until now! I purchased my 98 Ex the week after Christmas, and I have been "lurking" since then, getting all the factory stuff working like it should. The very last...

hello all, I have a 2000 xls 4x4, and my cruise control does not work. the "speed control" light comes on, but nothing happens. also my tachometer goes in and out, sometimes thumping the window of the instrument panel is what brings it back on. any thoughts? thanks, John :exp::us::thumbsup:

hey all, anyone run into this one yet? the lights on the left side of my cruise control buttons dont light up. i have a 2003 ST XLT. any help would be appreciated. thanks,

My when I turn my cruise control on then press the "set" button, the "cruise" light just flicks - a split second blink (You have to be looking for it.). I have had the steering wheel switches replaced by Ford and it worked for nearly a year. Then it began to intermittantly fail until now it is...

2001 Explorer sport - When I go to set the cruise control, after pushing the "on" button on the left side of the steering wheel, I then push the "set accel" button on the right. The cc light in the instrument panel flashes on for a split second, then goes out. The cruise will not engage. Doesn't...

Good day all. I was trying to figure out why my cigarettes lighter wasn't charging my phone and while I was under the center plastic with my multimeter, trying to chase down the 'hot' I dropped one probe and got a little spark... always not good, right? I found the problem was in the car charger...

Hello Everybody, Bought a 2004 Explorer XLT two weeks ago. It has just the Cruise Control controls on the steering wheel and my previous vehicle had spoiled me with the steering wheel radio controls. I have called two dealerships and gotten differing opinions. One guy told me that the...

:scratch: hey, i've been having problems with my cruise control, problem being that it doesnt work although the lights on the button do light up.. it started after installing a digital speedo and running the truck on cruise control for several minutes.. the digital speedo signal wire was...

So, i'm no car guy and I seem to have messed something up under the hood. I'm not sure what this part is, so I was hoping you guys could identify it, and tell me how bad this really is. The threads on the bracket are messed up, so the bolt won't go through. Instead, i used a wire hanger...

For some odd reason, Ford Motor Company failed to put cruise on my 1993 Ranger. :thumbdwn: I really missed cruise, so I looked into my options. I could add "factory" cruise from a donor vehicle, but removing the dash is necessary, not anything I want to do. Furthermore, the possibility of...
