Cruise control on 2000 Superduty Inop?

check the switch in the nose of the master cylinder.. ohm it with your foot on & off the brake pedal

There is a recall on the cruise deactivation switch, Check your local Ford Dealer

mine is working now replaced the brake switch and wiggled the plug by the master that was put in in the recall and it started working. I am thinking it was the brake switch, I also made sure the switch is in the correct orentation it has to be perpendicular with the pushrod from the master not the break pedal to get the entire movement of the contacts. Also noticed where the weird smell is coming from in my truck the master is leaking into the the drivers compartment, so the smell is Dot 3 oil. The firewall is covered in oil.

after replacing the switch I took off and it stopped working after a while. Was cruising back to work in Kansas was messing around with the break petal and the clutch petal trying to get the cruse to work. Found that the parking brake was not in the top position apparently the spring on the parking brake return is getting weak and not setting it against the switch. It was something stupid was going to waist money by bringing it to the dealer just lucked out.
