fix: under the steering wheel, at the base of the cluch there is a limit switch, that stops the crusie control when you push the cluch in. ajust the scew.
problem: speedometer has spikes..
fix: this is the sensor in the gear box, go to a ford dealer you can by a new on for about $50, it is easy to replace just undo a bolt and pull it out of the gear box... take off the gear and put onto the new sensor...
Is this at all in relation to the cruise control issue I have, the issue being that if i'm travelling up a hill and have cruise control on, get to the top, apply the brakes and turns the CC off, then i'm on straight and level road and turn CC back on, it seems to go crazy? I'd be at 65km on the flat surface, apply CC for the current speed, but for some reason decides to accellerate to 75km? Then slowly... slowly... begins to settle down to 65km again. It's a pain in the ****. Almost got me pulled over a few weeks ago.
