Lost Cruise Control

[Kober]

2014 Freelander on Ford E450 lost cruise control. Looked in the book for a fuse but can't find one.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Not really that hard.Use a 7/8 box wrench.

Thanks for the link. I'm going to try adding the ballast to the LED lights and if that doesn't work I'll order that cutout.

I could not find any blown fuses. Watched some youtube videos and one guy mentioned that LED lights might cause the computer to stop letting the cruise control do its thing. Also watched the video about the sensor on the bottom of the master brake cylinder. The sensor in under the master cylinder and no way to get to it without dismantling the water reservoir at a minimum. Autozone can't find the part. Ford dealer says they cant work on RVs. Gonna try a couple of private mechanics in town.

The video i posted might be that.

Yup, you're right. Sorry, I didn't watch the video before posting my reply.

That was the problem 2 years ago, when my Jeep's CC cut out intermittently, until I got an ABS error message that hard disabled it. Turned out to be one of the wheel speed sensors failure. Replaced at FCA, and has been OK ever since.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll be working on it this weekend and will report back.

I'm not sure if this is still the case, but if the fuse for the brake lights blows, as an indicator, the cruise and/or the dash lights quit as well.

Check other items to see if they function.

As mentioned , Could be a few things. Below link offers one possible cause.

Maybe the cutoff switch when the brake pedal is pushed.

Cruise has been built into the engine computer for a long time. No separate fuse.
