Did some electrical wiring work on my Pinto.

Wish I could get the cruise working in my Superduty. Switches are fine.i checked them with a meter and I can see them working when I hook up Forscan. Got the brake pedal switch working right. Not sure what to check next.
Doesn't work at all. I don't have the shop manual yet. So, no troubleshooting procedure. All I have is the wiring diagrams book.Is it completely inop or does it work intermittently? If intermittent can Forscan give you a “first out?” If it’s always inop there should be a step by step test somewhere that you can follow.
I’m not 100% sure this will solve my issue as it’s an intermittent problem, but the switches did test out of range according to the manual so I’m hopeful. I don’t want it to be the servo as they seem hard to find. I saw tons that looked nearly identical on the outside at the junkyard but the retainer for the cable end was different from mine. I’m guessing they are programmed for a specific vehicle/drivetrain combo as well.
oh my gosh, you provided a target rich environment….Prepped the old sleeper couch for trash pickup. They wanted the mattress wrapped in plastic before they would be willing to pick it up. With the potential of there being bed bugs and urine smells in what they pick up, I guess I can't blame them. So, that was taken care of and the couch itself was covered in plastic so it won't be a wet, sopping mess when they go to pick it up.
Aside from that, I just cleaned up sticks in the yard. The maple out back and the beech in the front like to drop a lot of sticks. So, one needs to keep up on that. It's also laundry day.
Wow, ambitious. But wouldn’t it save time to just replace the speakers now, instead of doing a full blown post on how you blow them up? You must be a drag racer…Rear Speakers are still stock, and I expect them to blow, as my head unit does 85 watts per channel and I doubt the stock Ford speakers can handle that for long.
I will be making a full-blown post on this….,
lol. I meant a full-blown post on the entire installation, but if you guys want a post on how to blow rear speakers I might be able to make that happen.Wow, ambitious.

The float ball thing was probably the vacuum reservoir for the vacuum supply to the HVAC controls. No wires to that, though. Just vacuum hose.I totally failed at replacing the timing chain tensioners on my 4.0. The truck was up on jack stands and I just couldn't get the socket to stay on the nut end of the tensioner. The u-joint on the extension destroyed any pressure I could put on it.
I started taking the entire wheel well cover off when this weird float ball thing fell down. What the hell is that thing anyway? Luckily I noticed the wire shielding had worn through, so I wrapped that with electrical tape.
Consolation victory as I put the tire back on.
You should be able to just put a regular ratchet and socket on the one on the passenger side. Easiest access os through the wheel well.I totally failed at replacing the timing chain tensioners on my 4.0.

I'm sure it will be entertaining. Whatever you come up with.oh my gosh, you provided a target rich environment….
I need a day to craft my response to this
