I am working on getting the cruise control to work on my 84 f250.
I am currently going through the diagnostic part that has me measure resistance of the buttons. I am getting higher readings than called for by about 80-160 ohms. I believe I narrowed it down to the steering column grounding itself because if I measure the resistance from the steel part of the wheel to a ground point on the firewall or to the outside of the column lower down I am seeing about 80-160 ohms resistance.
So now I am trying to figure the ground path from the steel part of the wheel to the lower part of the column without tearing it apart. Or maybe this is normal and wont affect cruise operation and I have another issue?
Thanks guys!
