Check if your brake lights are working. Check all the fuses...I remember something to do with the horn fuse stuffing up and not allowing to engage CC...but I could be way wrong. But if your brakes ain't working, check the fuse and brake switch.

Another thing...is it an actual Ford EL cruise control system, or aftermaket <---not even sure if they make them :? but just in case.

If it's genuine Ford, this may be a stupid question, but when you switched it on, did you push any of the (+) or (-) buttons on the controls? If you didn't, then give it a shot. Turn it on then press the (+) or (-) button and it should kick in...(sorry not sure if you have ever used the cruise control before...I remember the first time I thought something was wrong until I got button happy)

Does your horn work? Also did you test it doing above 40km/hr? it doesn't work below 40km/hr as far as I know.

Nope should still work. I ran an auto ECU with a manual conversion. not sure if cruise is BEM related.

I have the same problem - installed all the bits and no workee. Will be interested in what you did if you find the problem before I do, else I will let you know.

Just to double check, did you install the switch on the brake master cylinder too?

Cheers

check your clutch switch if its a manual, mine stopped working after i bent the pedal box too far, and it thought the clutch was in. I ended up just putting tape over the switch and making sure i never pushed the clutch in while on cruise control

An does your EL have ABS or not?

Sounds like your EL is a GLi?
The only GLi Falcons with factory Cruise also had ABS. There weren't that many.
No ABS = Cruise no work?
Futura upwards all came with ABS and Cruise. I have, though, seen an EL XR6 without Cruise or trip computer (cost cutting) but I assume had ABS.

nah not correct - my EF GLi came without ABS and had factory cruise fitted.
