Also... be sure the brake pedal switch is not loose and that the pedal fully returns to rest position, cause that switch contains several contacts, one of them specific to disable cruise when depressing pedal. (Son had that problem with his Intrepid recently). THese are very simple things, but it is prudent to clear the simple before going for the complicated....

lmp...i had the car at the dealership today to get the oil changed and they were finally able to pull a code....they say the ERG needs to be replaced......they quoted me a $211 price.....are these things available at Advance Auto/Auto Zone?....I have no clue......are they easy to replace?....thanks once again for your replys and tips!....well see what happens on the road trip this weekend.....I also asked if this would be the cause of the cruise control quitting here and there and the guy told me no....so ill eventually get the ERG replaced and see what happens from there.....thanks once again
