Not too long ago I bought a 2013 Explorer Limited, I love it!

On my way home today the cruise control wouldn't come on. Kept pressing up on the button and nothing, I tried every few minutes on my way home, wouldnt work.

Then I hit a pot hole, and a fairly large one at that.. Suddenly the cruise control is working fine and comes right on,

To me that reads that something is loose, or a loose connection.

Where are some places on the vehicle I could check for this?

Welcome to the Forum Dylan.:wave:
Do you have the standard cruise control or the Adaptive Cruise Control feature?

Hi Peter,

Standard, I went through a drive through tonight.. It stopped working, but as soon as I turned my wheel a significant amount the button worked again.

Maybe a loose wire in the wheel?
