    Thanks for the video it answers a lot of questions and makes it simple to work on my cruise now. It seems to be harder to find people that can answer questions about these older trucks. Good job.

    Very well done! I will like to see one for these old trucks on how to troubleshoot them, wiring harness test and so on. 1991 F150, Mine stopped working, out of the blue and a good schematic will actually help.

    I am doing this addition to my Manual 1991 F150, and I was wondering where the gray safety switch plug went. Is it a part of the harness, or does it plug in elsewhere? Thanks!

    Great video, I'm planning on this swap too. I noticed that 90-91 trucks don't have the little grey 2-pin connector under the kick panel, but im not sure why, or if it matters?

    If you replace a Ford Factory 87-91 “Non Cruise Control” steering wheel on a same years factory Cruise Control steering column’ will a dash check light come on since “Cruise Control” isn’t hooked up anymore.

    @@dexterranch I made sure all the pieces of the puzzle are there and connected as you described. The cruise control is intermittent and mostly not turning on! any thoughts which component could be the culprit? the servo ?, the cut-off switch…

    My gut says servo. I would start by thoroughly cleaning the male and female side of the connector that goes in the side of the servo. Also try to get a little dielectric grease in each pin. Make sure the horn is functioning properly. If it’s not it could be a grounding issue from the column to the frame. Hope this helps.

    I have an 87 with the 5.0L gas engine. Has cruise control...but it ain't working. won't engage. I checked the fuses...all good. check the vacuum line going to the servo...lots of vacuum present. checked and adjusted the vacuum purge valve hooked to the brake pedal. what should I check next?

Now we're fighting with insurance they don't want to pay out cause we had equipment in there for are lawn business so there trying to say it should have been covered by business insurance not homeowners.
