OK Guys.. Heres one for you... My cruise control just quit working.. here is what it does... When I push the button to turn on the crusise control (the big square button on the left of the instrument cluster) The Green light comes on signaling that it is powered on.. I also can hear the relay click under the dash. Now when I try to use any buttons on the steering wheel, they do nothing.. I dont get the light on the dash either.. I have gone through the fuse boxes and cant find a fuse or fusable link for the Cruise control....It is as if someone disconnected the wires from the steeringwheel controls.. However I know this is not the case.Thanks!

Check all of the fuses both in the car and under the dash. Sometimes they are tied into other circuits that you may not have known that had a bad fuse. If it's not that, check the vacuum to the cruise and then you will have to start checking all wiring and that will be a big pain in the butt.

QUESTION #1 Why do you need cruise control???QUESTION #2 Are you missing both feet???

Maybe cause I've never used cruise control ever in my life but how does it work. IE how do you set it and such. seems dangerous to me. What if you have to make an emergency manuver??

I need Cruise Control precisely because I have no feet.. Thanks for bringing the up the pain.

You try pushing on the gas pedal with a nub.. Its no fun....I am getting a nub callous.

I think I will go shoot myself now... I hope this doesnt ruin your day.

There are metal connections between the steering wheel and the turn signal assembly that may be worn out. I have yet to change mine out, but i did rearrange them so the Set now works, but i have to cancel by pressing either the brake or clutch.

Oldest thread bump known to man.

If the light blinks something isn't allowing the cruise to set, brake/clutch switch most likely.
