I recently bought a 97 explorer and the cruise does not work. Is there a series of fuses or what should I be looking for. When I push the on button I get NO response what so ever. When I push the accel button I get a green dialog than says cruise cont. But nothing happens with it maintaining speed> Any help would be appreciated.

I am having almost the same problem with my '93. When I first got it the cruise control worked, then the light went on with no response, then nothing at all. I am thinking a switch needs to be replaced -- I too tried the fuses to no avail -- or the vacuum isn't working. Nonetheless I am taking it to the shop tomorrow.

If the jury is still out, I can let you know what they say about mine. Wish I could help more.

I'm having the same problem with my 94. It hasn't worked since I bought it used... I don't get a light or anything. I've tested all the fuses, replaced most of them just to be safe, traced wiring and there's nothing I can see... but I'm not a mechanic so that doesn't mean much.

If anyone figures it out please post here and let us know =P
The speeding tickets are starting to make me sad.

Yeah if anyone knows of a fix, my 94 XLT's cruise stopped working recently. Before that it worked perfectly. I would guess its vacuum related since before it went it wouldn't disengage when I pressed the brake. I had to shut it off a t the switch. Thanks for any help you can give :)

My cruise control and fuel guage went out at the same time. I looked for fuses for them, but had no luck. Someone told me to look for a bad fuel float.

Just a thought. Brake pressure switch disengages the cruise control.
