Q: How to service and repair the cruise control servo on Ford Explorer?
A: Service and repair of the cruise control servo requires disconnecting the speed control servo electrical connector as the first step. Before working on the speed control actuator cable cap you must deploy the locking arm then turn it counterclockwise. First remove the speed control core wire end from the speed control servo pulley by pushing down the spring retainer before drawing it out. First unfasten the speed control servo bracket bolt before extracting the speed control servo from the vehicle. The first installation step involves fastening the speed control servo bracket bolt. Place the speed control cable slug into its respective position in the speed control servo pulley and compress the speed control servo spring with care then position the slug correctly. Pressurize the speed control servo spring until the cable cap tabs connect properly with the speed control servo housing slots. A high idle condition will occur when you wrongly handle the speed control actuator cable as it wraps around the speed control servo pulley. After placing the rubber seal properly on the speed control actuator cable cap you should rotate the cap until its locking arm becomes engaged.
Q: How to Maintain and Fix a Cruise Control Servo and What Steps Are Involved for a Ford Ranger?
A: Service and repair of cruise control servo requires battery disconnection as the first step. First disconnect the electrical connector from the speed control actuator before removing the speed control cable cap by pushing its locking arm while rotating the cap in a counterclockwise direction. The spring retainer should be depressed to move the core wire end out of the speed control actuator pulley so the speed control cable may be extracted. Starting with the removal of the servo requires first the speed control actuator bracket bolt before proceeding to separate the speed control actuator bracket and the actuator itself. Before reinstalling replace the rubber seal onto the speed control cable cap with full seating and proceed with the opposite steps of removal.
Q: How to service and repair the cruise control servo on Ford Mustang?
A: Service and repair of the cruise control servo begins with disconnecting the battery ground cable while carefully handling electronics modules to prevent static charge damage. The next step is to remove the left-hand wheel and tire before setting the left-hand front splash shield to the side by uninstalling the pin-type retainers and screws. First disconnect the speed control servo electrical connector after pressing its locking tab and rotate the speed control actuator cable cap to unlock it. Disconnect the speed control cable at the throttle nailhead and speed control actuator cable from the speed control servo pulley by gently pushing the retaining spring then removing the speed control cable slug. Remove the speed control servo after disconnecting all its components by uninstalling the bolts. Reverse the step of removal to install the equipment. Normal vehicle drive performance may be delayed after battery disconnect and reconnect because the vehicle adapts its strategy through driving at least 16 km (10 mi) to learn the new configuration.
