- Inspect all electrical and vacuum connections. Repair as necessary. If all connections are okay, go to next step.
- Check horn. If horn works properly, go to next step. If horn does not work properly, go to HORN RELAY CIRCUIT TEST.
- Step on brake pedal. Check for proper stoplight operation. Repair stoplight circuit if necessary. If stoplights operate properly, go to next step if vehicle has M/T, or to step 5) if vehicle has A/T.
- Check clutch switch. See CLUTCH SWITCH TEST. Service switch if necessary. If clutch switch operates properly, go to next step.
- Check actuator cable. See ACTUATOR CABLE under ADJUSTMENTS. Service actuator cable if necessary. If actuator cable operates properly, go to next step.
- Check throttle cable for proper operation. Service if necessary. If throttle cable is okay, go to next step.
- Check for vacuum at servo. If there is no vacuum, go to next step. If vacuum is okay, go to step 9).
- Check vacuum dump valve. See VACUUM DUMP VALVE TEST. Service vacuum dump valve if necessary. If vacuum dump valve is okay, service hose.
- Check all switches. See CONTROL SWITCH & CIRCUIT TEST. Service as necessary. If switches are okay, go to next step.
- Check servo. See SERVO TEST. Replace servo if defective. If servo is okay, go to next step.
- On Explorer and Ranger, check speed sensor. See SPEED SENSOR TEST. Replace speed sensor if defective. If speed sensor is okay, go to step 13).
- On Aerostar, check rear anti-lock brake sensor. See REAR ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SENSOR TEST. Replace sensor if defective. If sensor is okay, go to next step.
- On all models, substitute known good amplifier. If amplifier is okay, recheck all electrical and vacuum connections.
