Ford Mondeo cruise control trips out

Other than checking switches at clutch / brake pedal , ther is not a lot you can do . If not that you will need to get it scanned .

Thanks, for info I'm not touching any pedals when it happens, only the steering wheel control. As I said it's intermittent, it sometimes comes good when I re-activate it - even on the same journey.

Even though you are not touching pedals you could have a quick check of the wiring / connections at switches and the clearance between switches and pedal in case it is very minimal and any road movement or whatever when decreasing speed is triggering switch .Just a thought .

Thanks again. As mentioned, it only happens when the decrease switch is pressed, it doesn't appear to be connected to any road bumps, but I'll check the pedal switches & wiring anyway.

yes start at pedal switch sensors if manual then start at clutch pedal if auto then it may be the brake pedal position sensor

I have a similar problem with the cruise control on my 59 plate mondeo titanium estate (manual), ford dealer have said it is not a cruise control issue but there is a clutch slip and that the cruise control is sensing a change of speed which is make the cc disengage. They want £1100 for a new clutch. The car drives perrfectly well, gear changes are smooth, i can't feel any problem with the clutch. Just wondering if you ever rectified your cc issue and what it turned out to be?
