  Q: How to service and repair the cruise control servo on Ford Thunderbird?

  A:

  The first step for repairing or servicing the cruise control servo requires the removal of the engine cover through a straight upward motion after dislodging the push-pins. The first step concerns pushing forward the speed control cable end of the throttle nailhead for detachment. First disconnect the tire and wheel from the left front (LF) wheel position before removing the inner splash shield from LF. Depress the speed control actuator bracket assembly except for the electrical connector then remove the bolts to detach the bracket from its position with the speed control actuator. Depress the locking tab while rotating the speed control cable cap until removal and disconnect the speed control cable from the speed control actuator pulley through retaining spring gentleness followed by speed control cable slug extraction. The installation process of speed control actuator pulley slot requires you to fully seat the speed control cable slug before properly aligning the speed control cable cap tabs with speed control actuator housing slots. The correct seating of the speed control cable cap together with its seal around the speed control actuator pulley remains vital because it avoids high idle situations and achieves complete rubber seal positioning. Twist the speed control cable cap to lock its tab then you can attach the bracket to the speed control actuator and bolt it in place. After repair the speed control actuator bracket assembly should be installed while the electrical connector needs to be connected before putting back the LF inner splash shield, wheel, and tire. Put on the speed control cable end at the throttle nailhead while reinstalling the engine cover.
