Ford Scorpio Cruise control - Gerry Power
I have 1995 Scorpio estate with a cruise control quirk.
When the vehicle was purchased everything worked Ok but some time after the first service, I noticed the cruisecontrol did not work.
Investigation revealed that the relay had been removed.
I purchased a replacement from Ford but when fitted the headlights came on!
Any thoughts?
I believe the fuse box has been replaced prior to me buying the car.

Just looked at the relays fitted. The one you should have been supplied has 5 pins. There is an almost identical one with 4 pins that would also fit into the same socket which is probably why the headlamp dipped beam is coming on.

1. Check you were supplied Part No 6149324 £8.27 inc VAT

2. Make sure you are installing the relay into the correct position on the relay board.

Hope this helps.

Charles,
Thank you very much for your message.
The cruise control relay on this model [new shape] fits into a socket in the glove box, is it still the same part number?
Appreciate your eforts.
Thanks and Best Regards

I was referring to the later model. Unfortunately the Ford parts catalogue does not give a location of the relay and the part number I gave should be right.

Thank you for your trouble, the part supplied by Ford was as you indicated.
Have been given a refund but no thoughts from Ford as to the problem.
Best regards
Gerry.
