2005 Ford taurus cruise control inoperative. Suspect fuse out . Which fuse controls this and where is it?

are the brake lights working are their any codes having any type of brake problem switch/lights etc wont let cruise control work check wiring and fuses

The first thing to check is the tail lights. The cruise control will not work if any lights are out. Changing to LED tail lights also causes the cruise to not work.

open the hood and check to see that the throttle cables are not out of place, if everything looks ok then unhook the cruise control cable from the throttle body (black plastic end) by pulling up on the cable end. this will disable your cruise control from making your car accelerate at unwanted times. sounds like there may be a problem with the cruise control servo.

The owner's manual will have a fuse box diagram for both fuse boxes. If you don't have the owner's manual a dealership will usually let you look at a diagram or possibly even print one off for you. There may also be a diagram on the fuse box itself or on the fuse box cover. There is also a horn relay that may be bad but that won't affect the cruise control. Please rate this answer, thanks.

Have someone check the clock spring. Both of these run thru the clock spring wires.

There should be a fuse specifically for the cruise. Look in the owners manual to find out where your fuse box is located, then there will be a diagram of the layout of the fuses. Check the fuse that coresponds with your cruise control.

If the switch is malfunctioning the cruise control will not engage.

the fuse panel is under the plastic panel on the left of the steering wheel, the cruise does not have a deicated fuse, it is controlled by the powertrain control module, if the truck runs the cruise has power, the most common cause of the cruise being inop is he rotating contact under the steering wheel, it is called the clock-spring contact
