Cruise control troubleshooting tips July 12, 2007, 05:38:21 PM I guess I need a new servo motor. I checked the steering wheel rings and the contacts that ride on them, with a multimeter using the "beep" continuity setting and they're all good. I don't have vacuum leaks, so I'm assuming the servo went dead, because the cruise control does nothing at all, and has since my dad bought the car (I think it failed shortly after he got it, didnt get erratic or try to kill him a la that other thread or anything it just stopped working altogether. What other cars/years interchange? Or is it only 87-88 Cougars/Tbirds? Anyone got one by any chance? Later Quote Selected

Cruise control troubleshooting tips Reply #4 – July 14, 2007, 08:19:40 AM Cables are interchangeable, at least on the '87-'88... I still have the orig 2.3 servo with a 5.0 cable...Also the amplifier could be the problem... Little box on the firewall at the top of your left toes... Quote Selected
