Power Strokes 1994-1997 Upgrades and AftermarketUpgrading or adding OEM or aftermarket equipment to your 1994-1997 Ford F-Series with Power Stroke engine.
Anyone know where or the best route to add cruise control to a 97 F250 XL? Gotta smoking deal on a nice truck but its XL and no cruise... Gotta have it...
Your in the wrong forum so this will probably get moved.....but all you need is the horn pad off a truck with cruise. Its like $25 at a junk yard. Then jumper wire the backup brake pedal pressure switch harness under the hood. Then your good to go.

Thank You Much.... I have looked high and low for a decent gasser forum and couldnt find one so that is why Im here. I have been a member here for 8 years... How time flys. Anyways my point is that this XL is a gasser. Should be the same set up as you mentioned though,, right???
Yep. Cruise control and most other general electrical parts are the same between the gas and diesels. Have you checked out FTE. They have a decent gasser section IIRC.

Got the pad today and put on. I was under the understanding that it would work with just this being done and the jumper wire was only a failsafe rig for if the brake light went out. Mine is not working by just replacing horn pad. Should It?? I plan on doing a jumper wire but ran it for a quick test to see if it was good to go but it was not.... 3rd brake light is working and I have not tested the nuetral safety switch but I would imagine its good to. What gives? Did I waste $43?
no. You have to install the jumper in order for the system to operate correctly. The jumper is actually what allows the cruise to work and if it was hooked up normal it would interrupt the signal not send one, Thats why when you took it out the cruise wasnt working, that jumper has to be in there. 5 min job and you should be on your way
Can anyone post a pic of where this dummy two wire plug is and what it looks like? I have one that fits the bill but not sure if its the right one. The color of wires dont match and when I jumped it,,,,,,,,,,, nothing The dummy plug wiring comes out the main wiring on the Power dist box and curls around and is attached back to the outside of the power dist box.
Just so you guys know it wont work on a gasser. It will need more parts due to the accelerator on a diesel being computer controlled rather than cable controlled. I appreciate the attempts of helping me but may have bought a horn pad for nothing....

Might sell it. Gonna see what the rest of the setup will cost me. Stay tuned...
The wiring is all there. You need the cruise control module on a gasser. I have one if you want, but you'll still need the cable. The horn pad, cruise module, and jumper wire are all that is required.
PM me for the module. I'll sell it for $60.
