RE: CRUISE CONTROL
Did the Excursionhave the Cruise Control RECALL performed? If so, then check the wiring.
Ford's Cruise control RECALL:
Ford found that brake fluid coul leak through the cruise deactivation switch into the cruise system's electrical components and cause corrosion. Corrosion can cause a short and keep the cruise control from working, but in some cases it can lead to a higher flow of current that can overheat and cause a fire at the switch.
Fixing the Problem
The recallconsists of a wiring harness that will act as a circuit breaker between the cruise deactivation switch and cruise control mechanism. It will shut off the electrical current to the switch if the current flow is excessive.
Hope this helps.
