Ford Mustang Cobra Cruise Control Q. Last week I bought a 1996 Ford Mustang Cobra, it has 24,000 mails on it. My question is that because the cruise control does not work. My first thought was to check the fuse, but it did not come with a owners manual so I was wanting to know if you could either give me ideas on how to fix it or a way to look at which fuses are what, short of going to the dealer and paying $100.00 for an owners manual.

A little about the car: The guy before me but .410 gears in it, an Xpipe, a power chip (can this effect cruise? and some other stuff. So for the low milage, they were hard miles. Any direction you can provide is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Seth

A. Power for the cruise control comes in through the DRL/Fog/Horn fuse in the engine compartment fuse box. It then goes through the horn relay (don't ask me why) , through the clockspring in the steering wheel and then to the cruise control switch.

So, if the cruise control and the horn doesn't work, it is likely the horn relay or the clockspring assembly is bad. If the horn does work, then the clockspring assembly or the cruise control switch is bad.
