Cruise Control Help!
#11
I learned about that behavior on a Ford Aerostar (stop laughing!) forum when I had a similar issue. I wonder how many manufacturers use the CHMSL circuit in that way ...
I may try adding a small incandescent bulb in series to see if I can keep my LED in place.
Good luck to all with cruise control issues.

My cruise control barely worked when I bought the car 2 years ago and it completely died shortly after that. When it worked it wouldn't hold speed very well at all, kind of like it had a leaky hose but I think it was just the pump going out. I have checked all the hoses, replaced the switch on the steering wheel and checked the back light bulb with no luck. I finally just bought a used pump off ebay and it should be here any day. I'll let you know if it fixes my cruise. Fingers Crossed.
I have heard of all kinds of horror stories with the cruise control. I remember one guy on here saying his cruise only worked with the radio off. I believe that there is a part in the steering wheel called the "Cruise Control Spiral Cassette" and I have heard of this being the problem on more then one truck. I think that will be my next buy if the new pump doesn't work.

The price of new parts can be ridiculous for small little things. I try and buy used parts when I'm not sure if it will fix my problem or not. Then after I confirm the problem I wait for the used part to go out and buy a new one later. Sometimes the used one will last forever

UPDATE...Third Brake Light does not work , put in new bulb , still does not work. All other brake lights work, so assuming not a fuse. Will remove the socket and inspect. It is possible someone before me removed it and reversed the wires ??? Is there a way to test the leads with a multi meter if I have someone engage the brake pedal?
