2003 Lincoln Town Car Cruise Control Servo Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the cruise control servo on 2003 Lincoln Town Car?

  A: The first step to repair the cruise control servo requires dismantling the engine cover through screw removal followed by positioning the speed control actuator cable safely to the side. Start by removing the bolt which enables you to detach the speed control actuator cable from the throttle lever. You will first need to depress the locking tab of the speed control actuator cable cap before rotating it to remove. After that disconnect the cable from the speed control servo pulley by gently pressing the retaining spring to extract the cable slug. Disconnection of the electrical connector leads to the removal of the speed control servo after you remove the bracket securing nuts and detach screws that hold it to the bracket. At install time you should first connect the speed control servo to its bracket then proceed with installing the servo. Slide out the core wire from the speed control actuator cable cap while you deliver the speed control cable slug into the speed control servo pulley slot by carefully pressing the retaining spring and sliding the slug before the spring snaps into its place. Flexible tabs on the speed control actuator cable cap should match the slots on the servo housing exactly; an improper pulley cable wrap may result in excessive engine idling. First clamp the cap until it reaches its locking position then align the speed control actuator cable to the throttle lever through the bolt installation followed by cable insertion. The speed control actuator cable should be adjusted after which the engine cover and screws can be installed.
