First trip home in the Bronco I used cruise control and it seemed fine. Here it is about a month and a half later and during a 300 mile trip and the cruise control acted really wacky. Sometimes you could set the speed just fine other times it would set cruise at 80% acceleration. This problem only seems to happen if Cruise Control is set higher then 55mph.
Let me give you an even better idea of how wacky it can be.
Say you want to set the speed for 65mph. ON > SET ACCL (Bronco stays at set speed for 3-5seconds) :: Bronco then speeds up on its own(70,75+). Hit the OFF button and cruise turns off. Hit ON, Bronco resumes to accelerating on its own. OFF>OFF>OFF then ON>SET ACCL (Bronco Cruise Control proceeds to work.)
Sometimes you have to hit ON > SET ACCL (Bronco stays at set speed for 3-5seconds) :: Bronco then speeds up on its own. SET > SET > SET
(Bronco Cruise Control then accepts speed and will maintain it. But by the time you have the speed set you are now have the speed set for 70mph.
Another quirk is that after Cruise is set and speed is maintained. Using the Right Blinker will deactivate the Cruise Control just like hitting the OFF button or touching the Brakes. My right blinker also has the issue of not staying in place on its own. Feels like the plastic tab that holds the blinker on is busted off.
I'm putting this out here as a brain teaser and having said that, I don't expect any body here to be able to explain how to fix this but suggestions are sure welcome.
