For the last few weeks, my cruise control hasn't worked and now I'd like to fix it. Background info: I've got a 2002 F-350, 7.3 PSD, ZF-6. I replaced the bulb in the center high-mounted brake light, but that didn't fix the problem so what should I look at next?

The fuses checked out good. Where is the brake pedal switch and how do I check it? The brake light does light up when I push the brake pedal.:dunno

the brake switch is actually two switches, one senses brake activation and cuts off the cruise, the other sets the lights.
need a schematic to know which side of the connector to test.


i cant get the pdf to pull up-mad , pm bill and ask if he can shoot you a copy of the page if he has it maybe

Is there a CC sensor somewhere in the driveline that could have gone bad? I suppose it's also possible that the switches in the steering wheel have gone out...
