Cruise control ford escape 2002. ford escape cruise control does not engage what can i do ? light on the dash board comes on.
If the cruise lamp comes on and the cruise does not set i would advise inspecting the cruise cable and make certain it is not broken, if ok the the servo has likely failed.
Also check if there are any open recalls on your escape. There was one involving the cruise control/throttle linkage binding up due to inadequate clearance under the plastic engine cover. This may or may not be the cause of your issue, but the recall repair is free at any Ford dealership.
You're best off checking out the repair manual for your car:

wondering what the sjb controls
I'd I remember correctly this is a cable driven setup. If someone performed a repair or service and the cable was removed from the Throttle body that may be the issue. F150's had an issue with the brake pressure sensor mounted on the master cylinder. The sensor would short internally due to brake fluid leaking through the diaphragm. The way to check the sensor is to use an ohm meter and check continuity across the sensor with it unplugged. If the sensor is faulty or will not allow the cruise to engage.
