Is there an adjustment for the cruise control cable going to the throttle body? Every time I get to a hill the passing gear kicks in. If there is please let me know.
Thank you!
Thank you!

Sounds normal to me. If you are going uphil and engine drops rpm, so to keep you going at the set speed car has to down shift otherwise you'll be lugging the engine.
I don't know if you can drive stick shift car but it's no different than down shifting from fifth to fourth gear to go up an incline.

The down shift will depend on how much the engine rpm's drop when going up a hill. If it is only a little bit(100-200 rpm) then there is an issue somewhere.
I would perform the self test and see if anything comes back from it.
Self-Test Diagnostics — Expedition
WARNING: This test is a key on engine off (KOEO) test only that is conducted in park only with emergency brake fully engaged.
NOTE: A review of the following test steps is required before carrying out the Self-Test Diagnostic procedure. After entering the diagnostic mode, the module will time out if the mandatory switch sequence is not completed within 5 seconds. If a module time out occurs, the procedure must be reinitiated.
Enter Self-Test Diagnostics by depressing the speed control OFF switch while turning the ignition key ON, making sure the engine does not start and is not running. The speed control indicator on the instrument panel will flash once to indicate that speed control module entered the diagnostic mode. FIVE ADDITIONAL FLASHES AT THIS POINT INDICATE A DEFECTIVE SPEED CONTROL SERVO. Release the OFF switch.
Press and release the remaining switches in this sequence: ON, RESUME, COAST and SET/ACCEL.
The speed control indicator lamp will flash as each switch is pressed and released. Press and release each switch in the sequence immediately after the indicator light goes out for the previous switch.
A lamp flash with the last button (SET/ACCEL) indicates that the STATIC test passed. If the lamp does not flash with the last button and there are no additional flashes of the lamp, the switch is defective.
If the lamp does not flash with the last button, and additional flashes occur, follow the chart below for trouble codes:
2 Flashes - BPP defective, circuit is defective, brake applied.
3 Flashes - Deactivator switch is open or circuit defective.
4 Flashes - Vehicle speed signal is out of range or circuit is defective.
Immediately after the STATIC test, the speed control servo does a DYNAMIC test by automatically actuating the throttle lever from 8 mm (0.32 in) to 12 mm (0.48 in) of travel from the idle position. During the DYNAMIC throttle pull, observe throttle movement to witness any binding or sticking of the speed control cable and correct connection of speed control cable to throttle lever. Make sure the THROTTLE RETURNS BACK TO IDLE POSITION.
Return ignition switch to the OFF position and proceed to the Symptom Chart.

Mine flashed 3 times. What is the deactivator switch and does anyone know where it's at?
