There is a distance sensor (think radar or sonar) in the front bumper or grill to measure how far away any vehicle is. The computer can than shut cruise down or apply brakes automatically.
There's the Vehicle Speed Sensor... your cruise control is a matter of programming in the ECM.
depending on the year of the car it could be as simple as a leaking vacuum line or in newer models a bad sensor located on the motor that controls the cruise control
Yes, it can cause the cruise to surge.
on the 1998 the camshaft sensor is in the distributor ,you have to change it....you have to change the whole distributor..the sensor is integrated. the crankshaft sensor is located on the block under the cruise control actuator
A malfunction in the range sensor could cause the cruise to be inoperative.A malfunction in the range sensor could cause the cruise to be inoperative.
If it has one, it will be located in the tail stock on the left side of the transmission. If your speedo is broken, usually it is the cable that has failed. And, if it has cruise control, the section from the cruise control to the dash would be bad.
Yes it could, if it is setting codes it will affect the cruise.
If the cruise control will not engage, there might be a problem with the Electronic Fuel Injector or the MAP Sensor. There might also be a problem with the Oxygen Sensor. Some autos have more than one oxygen sensor.

If the Ford Galaxy cruise control is not working properly, check the speed sensor on the transmission. It is located just behind the bell housing. There is also a fuse that can be checked in the fuse box on top of the battery.
I am installing a cruise control on a 1997 FORD ESCORT,and need to know where the Black and white wire and the Blue wire are located to the vechicle speed sensor?
