Cruise Control went out on my 2002 F-150

[Jose]

I checked the appropriate fuses and they appear to be OK. What else can I look at? Anything else I can easily check?

I think it runs through that brake light switch that was recalled on the master cyl.

[greenbullitt]

does the horn work? and is the cable still in tact?

Like DJ said, the switch on the MS is a common problem. They leak internally. I replaced mine on my F250 with a Motorcraft part I bought on Amazon for about $6 shipped.

There is a self test to diagnose the cruise control circuit.


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.

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.
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.

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

Becareful bro...my 02 F150 KR burned to the ground short after my Cruise Control stopped working...apprently its some type of recall ...did you just hit 140k miles?

[DFWtechie]

I have and 01 explorer that had a recall on this. Take it to the stealership and have them do the recall on it.

Thanks everyone for there input. Thanks homealone for the diagnostics steps, I actually found them after a quick Google search during my lunch but didn't get a chance to post back up here till now.

So I checked it out after I got home from work this afternoon. Horn works. Cable is intact. I did the diagnostics and I'm getting two flashes. So what is the BPP? Oh, I never got the recall done. Can I still get it done at the dealership and will it help/fix the problem I'm having with the CC?

Yeah take it in to any ford dealer and they'll do it for free. If you can unplug that sensor until you can make it to your nearest dealer.
