2004 Ford Freestar cruise control not working

This problem can also be caused by the brake caliper bolt/guide pin sticking, either because brake pad dust is making the pin bind, or because the pin itself is bent. There are two pins on each brake caliper assembly.
To clean the pins, remove them and use steel wool to burnish the surface. Replacement is inexpensive - a pair costs about $10 from an auto parts store.

This problem can also be caused by one or more brake caliper pins sticking because brake dust makes them bind, or because one or more is bent. The pads don't go back to the open position, therefore it seems that the brakes are always on.
If this is the case, remove the pins and clean with steel wool or a wire brush and replace, or buy a new pair of pins for each caliper. The cost for a pair is around $10.00.
Bear in mind that if the pads are not retracting, excessive pad wear may be evident, or even damage to rotors (metal on metal)..
