Cruise control problem.

Brake interlock switch/Solenoid seem OKAY !!!
Ok Managed to peek in the solenoid without disconnecting. As pic shows there is no burn out or discolour to indicate a bad transistor. To recap my shifter moves from park only while pressing the brake(behaves as it should) Part 13480(brake switch) also seem okay. Now there is another switch up to the left from part 13480...is that speed control cancellation switch..if I remember right its a blue color one..could that be the culprit.? Thanks folks.

my cruise control used to work every now and then now it doesn't turn on at all. I still have all 3 brake lights. should I change the cruise control switch or the brake switch. I can not shift with out pressing the brake. the shift interlock works fine. im thinking change the cruise control shut off switch. any help is appreciated.

I go to engage the cruise control and sometimes it isnt even there. Green light wont turn on. Then it might turn on and set the speed only to go out in a few seconds. Seems as though something is preventing it from engaging and if it does it then bonks it out, maybe a sensor or something?

Adding to the pool of information here. First thanks to all for posting their finds as this lead me to solving my intermittent cruise control problem on my 2003 Ford F150. After a few days of chasing different possibilities. I started with the simple switch at the master cylinder but this did not solve the issue. Next I tried the clock spring and still no results. Next was the steering wheel switches. Still no good. Finally, I did a test drive and pulled up on the brake pedal with my foot while trying to activate the cruise and it worked as long as i was putting upward pressure on the pedal. I pulled the under pedal switch, popped it open and cleaned the contacts then reinstalled and the cruise is working every time now. It could be that the rod connecting the switch to the brake booster is the issue but its working now. Hope this helps. I would recommend that anyone else facing this same issue try the switch before spending the money on the clock spring unless you are seeing dash lights indicating the spring needs maintenance. Stay safe all.

Fixed my cruise issue with the Actuator Assembly
I just received by assembly yesterday. I popped the console cover off and took out the four screws (but didn't take off the shifter cable) and leaned the shifter to the side and removed the old assembly and installed the new one in about an hour(taking my time not to break anything). That did the trick. Now I have to depress the break pedal to put it in gear AND my cruise now works. Thanks a million. Here is the info. Hope this helps someone else.
