I just noticed that my cruise control doesn't seem to work. The CC button does light up green, and sometimes the light on the dash comes on, but flashes repeatedly. I thought there was a fuse for it but I guess not? Also I did search already, and have tried pulling the clutch all the way back and I did make sure that the clutch presses the button it's supposed to. Well I'm stuck so any point in the right direction would be great.

I had the same issue. I ended up checking the vacuum hose running to the actuator. It was all cracked and not providing a good seal. i cut off the part that was bad and hooked it back up. Works like a mofo now. IDK if that helps on your particular issue, but your symptoms sound alot like what I was experiencing (minus the flashing green light on the dash).

Thanks for the reply. Where is the actuator for cruise control? I think I read it was by the ECU near the passenger firewall.

The actuator is circled in red. The left side has the vacuum hose. This is located on the passenger side firewall, under the hood.

Here is the website.

This is cool. Mine used to do that sometimes. One out of ten times, green light blinks, so I had to turn off and on again. I'll check if there's crack on the line. BTW, I did the swap and cruise control doesn't work anymore. I know how to make it work, but I'm lazy.

Please read the FSM guys. There is a troubleshooting section in block diagram form that can really help.
