9 times out of 10 the problem is pedal/switch related. My most recent experience happened 2 weeks ago on the way back from MN/ND. The switch locking nut had backed off and the cruise was sporadic. Crawled under the dash and the problem was clearly visible. I have also seen the L-bracket that the cruise or BL switch mounts on (switch mount varies by vehicle) bend and the adjustment changes.

Thanks fore the replies. Because it works normally when not towing the ranger. I'm suspecting brake pedal switch is ok.
The sockets in the ranger look good. That's why I don't know where else to start.
Can I add a ground somewhere in the Ranger?
BTW: I did attempt to check the brake pedal when the problem occurred even wwhen not towing. I defy a person 5ft 7in to even get their hand on the switch let alone check the nut. :)
