Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / General Car Topics / March 2005Ford cruise control fires?
Anyone know exactly what component is failing in the system and causing the fires? Is it relay or coil in the module that shorts out, or another component? Just curious from an electronics POV. >Anyone know exactly what component is failing in the system and causing the >fires? > >Is it relay or coil in the module that shorts out, or another component? >Just curious from an electronics POV. It's the cruise control deactivation switch. It's a pressure operated switch that is attached to the master cylinder and when you brake (putting pressure into the brake system) it breaks the contact in the switch. The problem seems to be corrosion inside the switch and the fact that the switch is energized all the time - even when the ignition is off.
