Fuse number for speed control - 2003 Mercury Mountaineer

No fuse , sensor make own voltage
The vehicle speed sensor (VSS) provides vehicle speed information to the powertrain control module (PCM) or transmission control module (TCM). The VSS is a permanent magnet (PM) generator. The PM generator produces a pulsing AC voltage as rotor teeth on the transmission output shaft pass through the sensor's magnetic field. The AC voltage level and the number of pulses increase as the speed of the vehicle increases. Output voltage varies with speed from a minimum of 0.5 volts at 100 RPM to more than 100 volts at 8,000 RPM. The PCM/TCM converts the pulsing voltage to vehicle speed. The PCM/TCM uses the vehicle speed signal to determine shift timing and TCC scheduling.
. What code # P0 what ? What speed sensor ? VSS - vehicle speed sensor , wheel speed sensor ? No diagnostic code tells you the sensor is mess up . Sensors circuit's can set a number code's lo voltage , high voltage , short to ground , open circuit . Your best bet ,take it to a qualified repair shop.

Fuse for rear air ????? No air coming from rear vent's ? That would be caused by the HVAC blower motor not working . Probably not a fuse issue , if the fuse is blown you have a bigger issue . Fuse's don't just blow for no reason - electrical short circuit, too much current draw etc.. . More then likely it's a problem with the blower motor control module or the blower motor . Located behind the right rear trim panel . But go ahead an check the fuse anyway , fuse # 26 - 25 amp located in the underhood fuse / relay box . marked RR -BLWR/ 110 VAC
Auxiliary Air Speed
The auxiliary blower motor is controlled by the front auxiliary blower motor switch. If the vehicle is equipped with rear DVD (U32), the auxiliary blower motor can be controlled by the overhead console, vehicle entertainment system (VES). The front auxiliary blower switch must be in the AUX position in order to control blower speed from the VES. The VES will send a class 2 message to the HVAC control module requesting a blower motor speed.
The auxiliary blower motor control module is an interface between the HVAC control module and the auxiliary blower motor. The auxiliary blower motor speed control, auxiliary blower motor speed signal, blower motor speed control, and ground circuits enable the control processor to operate. The HVAC control module sends the commanded blower motor speed to the control processor through a 0 to 8-volt linear ramped blower motor speed control circuit. As the blower motor speed control voltage increases, the blower motor speed increases. The control processor sends the actual blower speed to the HVAC control module through a 0 to 12-volt blower motor speed signal circuit. The control processor uses the blower motor ground as a low side control to adjust the blower motor speed. The underhood fuse block supplies 12 volts to the blower motor through the blower motor voltage supply circuit.

Could be a number of thing's ! Testing the electrical circuit is the way to find out what's wrong . Using a wiring diagram and a DVOM - digital volt ohm meter . Videos on youtube showing how to test it ! Without testing i would only be guessing . Does it work in high speed ? In high speed it by-passes the resistor . If it doesn't work in any speed more then likely the blower motor is the problem !
Air Speed
The HVAC control assembly applies ground to the blower motor control circuit that corresponds to the selected blower speed. The resistors and the blower motor are in a series circuit. The following list represents the number of resistors in series with the blower motor per particular speed request:
• Low speed--3 resistors
• Medium 1 speed--2 resistors
• Medium 2 speed--1 resistor
When the operator requests High speed, the HVAC control assembly applies ground directly to the blower motor through the high blower motor control circuit. The resistor card has a fusible link which, if blown, will require that the card be replaced.

Blower Motor and Resistor Diagnostics by Wells

In the SJB - smart junction box , Under the dash ! There are three fuse's - F2.27 10amp - F2.32 10amp - F2.17 15amp . Is your air bag light lit ?
SECTION 310-03: Speed Control 2004 Taurus/Sable Workshop Manual DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 07/02/2003 Speed Control The vehicle speed control system consists of the following components:

• Brake pedal position (BPP) switch
• Speed control actuator cable
• Speed control switches
• Speed control deactivator switch
• Speed control indicator
• Speed control actuator
• Smart junction box (SJB)

NOTE: The clock spring provides the electrical interface between the steering column wiring and the speed control switches in the steering wheel.
The inputs to the speed control actuator are:

• Vehicle speed signal
• Speed control switches
• Brake pedal position (BPP) switch
• Deactivator switch

The outputs of the speed control actuator are:

• Speed control indicator lamp
• Speed control actuator cable controlling the throttle position

What year ?

There are four fuses that can affect the cruise control. In the underhood fuse panel, fuses #12 & 22, and in the rear fuse panel, fuses #34 & 39.
There are other things that can stop the CC from working, stuck brake light switch, bad vehicle speed sensor, certain fault codes set by the computer, to name a few.

Fuse number 1 (15amp blue fuse) located under the dash is the primary fuse for the cruise control servo...check that first...Also, if i recall correctly there was a mandatory recall notice issued in 2005 for this model related to cruise control failures. Check with your local Lincoln Mercury dealer for more information. You will need your VIN number to see if the repairs on your vehicle have been made. Good luck, i hope this helps.

The fuses for the speed control from the factory are :
Engine Compartment fuse panel #7,
Cab fuse panel Fuses #15, #13, #5

The fuse that goes to the recall part is Fuse #13, 20A

The recall is 05S28. Description: Speed Control Deactivation Switch.
The part number for the recall is : 1L1Z-9F924-AA
The part has a fuse inline that is marked as non serviceable, but 1 revision I saw, it was just an ATM fuse under tape. Not sure if this is the final revision that was used on your truck ( or should have been used ).


The self test for the Cruise Control ( for 00-03 MY, with the CC light on the cluster ) :

With the key off depress and hold the cruise control off button while turning the ignition to the run position,don't start the truck, the cruise light will flash once to let you know it is in self test.
Five additional flashes indicate a bad cruise control servo

Release the cruise off switch and within 5 seconds depress the other switches in sequence:
1. on
2. resume
3. coast
4. set/ accel
The speed control light will flash as each switch is depressed.

If the last one does not flash it may then flash a code

After this the cruise will move the throttle to test the actuator and the cable.
Make sure the throttle returns to idle and turn the key off.

Self-Test Diagnostics

WARNING:
This test is a key on engine off (KOEO) test only that is conducted in park only with emergency brake fully engaged.

1. Enter self-test diagnostics by depressing the speed control OFF switch while turning the ignition key ON, making sure the engine does not start and is not running. The speed control indicator on the instrument panel will flash once to indicate that speed control module entered the diagnostic mode. Five additional flashes at this point indicate a defective speed control servo. Release the OFF switch.

2. Press the remaining switches in this sequence: ON, RESUME, COAST and SET/ACCEL.

If the ON switch is not depressed within five seconds after entering the diagnostics mode, the module times out and the procedure must be started over.

The speed control indicator lamp will flash as each switch is depressed. Press each switch in the sequence immediately after the indicator light goes out for the previous switch.

Note:
There will be a slight delay when the last button is pressed and the lamp flashes.

3. A lamp flash with the last button (SET/ACCEL) indicates that the static test passed. If the lamp does not flash with the last button and there are no additional flashes of the lamp, the switch is defective.

If the lamp does not flash with the last button, and additional flashes occur, follow the chart below for trouble codes:

- 2 flashes - BPP defective, circuit is defective, brake applied, CPP switch or jumper (if equipped).

- 3 flashes - deactivator switch is open or circuit defective.

- 4 flashes - vehicle speed signal is out of range or circuit is defective

4. Immediately (.25 second delay) after the static test, the speed control servo does a dynamic test by automatically actuating the throttle lever from 8 mm (0.315 in) to 12 mm (0.472 in) of travel from the idle position. During the dynamic throttle pull, observe throttle movement to witness any binding or sticking of the speed control cable and correct connection of speed control cable to throttle lever. Make sure the throttle returns to the idle position.

5. Return the ignition switch to the OFF position and proceed to the Symptom Chart.

The speed control system operates via the Smart Junction Box with various sensors over the SCP communications network.

The servo switch circuit is overload protected, but there does not appear to be a specific Cruise Control Fuse

There are three fuses that have to work for the cruise to operate, including the brake lights.Check fuse numbers 53,54, and 59. It can also be affected by the brake switch (and clutch switch - if equipped). The cruise also needs a connection through the brake light bulbs, which means that it will not work if the bulbs are burnt out or if you have LED tail lights. Try pulling up on the brake pedal to see if it is the brake switch. Please post your results. Thanks.
