Cruise control broke again?

[fx4superduty33]

i have a 2008 fx4 f-250 crew-cab with the 6.4. Im having problems again with my cruise not working. the dealer "fixed" it 500 miles ago by installing a new brake switch. Now they are saying its another brake switch gone bad, they told me there is more than one brake switch controlling the cruise control. Anyone else have this issue, its really frustrating taking to the dealer over and over........... thanks

I am experiencing the same issue, but it is intermittent. '08 F250 PSD, I have made two appointments and the damn thing starts working again before I get it there, dealer says they cannot find anything. Let me know how it turns out. If I finally get mine figured out I will let you know.

yeah, mine too.

I haven't seen this problem before, but i can tell you that the dealer is right there are 2 different brake switches and if either one is bad your cruise control will not work

Now all of a sudden my CC is working again, and has worked for 2 weeks straight, WTF, is it still a brake switch?

The pressure switch circuit (when open) reports "pressure on", hence, the cruise control will not come on.



I fixed the harness and all's well since.

Doesnt one of the pressure transducers control the TBC, and one control the cruise? It's beer thirty over here and I don't feel like firing up the shop manual right now.

had the same trouble with mine...but it was the horn and the cruise...a new clock spring fixed mine

Having same issue with my 2010 f250 6.4L, Does anyone know if you have to bleed the brake line to repace the brake pressure switch? Brakes are not my thing. Could it be easly changed out?.

Been having the same problem since Feb 2009; was able to stop & turn off the key & it would start working again; now it only works when it wants to. Took it to Ford a few months back for service & they could find nothing wrong, said to bring it back when it quit working, & they would troubleshoot it.
