Cruise control took a dump

sstock · 06-21-2005, 06:02 PM

I figured I'd replace the deactivater switch because of all the fire hazard recalls and get it working again, ran me $22 and I'm back up and running.

Steve is the new switch any different then the old one? Even though my truck has not burned to the ground yet, I figured that I should change it.

sstock · 06-21-2005, 07:38 PM

Yes it is an updated design and comes with a adapter harness because the connector is different, it all but took 60 seconds to install, cheap insurance, if you ask me.

marc2000gt · 06-21-2005, 08:49 PM

Did you get it from Ford?

sstock · 06-22-2005, 01:10 AM

Yes, I can look up the part # if you like

marc2000gt · 06-22-2005, 05:27 AM

Steve I would like the part # just to make sure they don't give me the wrong part.

I'm gonna change mine too. I looked it over closely and it looks clean and perfect but I'm not takin' a chance on this one!!!

Part #1L1Z-9F924-AA also had a motorcraft of SW-6350 on it.

svtpickemup · 06-22-2005, 03:08 PM

I hope that is what's wrong with mine.

I have a new (used but working) cruise module to install. But, maybe its just the switch.

Steve, can you tell us what your symptons were? Did it power (crusie light on) but not work? No cruise light at all?

Mine does nothing. Zilch. May as well be pushing the door locks to turn the cruise on.

Damn I wish ford woulda done a recall on these units.........seems like every gen 1 I know of theirs broke......I don't even have the unit in my new truck, and the old truck I had it stopped working at about 90k..........I was jus too lazy to fix it because I don't really use it........Maybe someday I'll get around to fixing it!

sstock · 06-22-2005, 05:03 PM

John, thats it for the '93. The 94-95 is up on the master cylinder.
Kevin, The cruise just doesnt work, my 94 doesnt have the light, but a good way to check the deactivator is to remove the harness from the switch and put a OHM meter across the two terminals on the switch. If the resistance is not between 0-1 OHMs the switch is defective and will not allow the cruise to set.

Black P-38 · 06-24-2005, 09:15 AM

Steve, thanks for all the info and the part #'s. The cruise on my '94 Bronco quit working recently. I checked the usual stuff
but not that switch. Gonna check that today, hopefully it's the problem. Either way I'm replacing them both.

Thanks for the part number Steve. I picked one up yesterday for $20.55. I installed it this morning.
