Cruise Control Problems

At first my cruise control work intermittently. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't. Now it is out completely. All the lights work and the fuse is OK. What should I check first?

Check your brake pressure switch. Read the second posting authored by wiswind, might be your problem.

In fact, this is exactly what mine did when the brake pressure switch was starting to leak.

Re: Cruise Control Problems

Have you noticed any small puddles of Fluid (Brake Fluid) on your driveway or where you park ? If so, it's very likely to be the Brake Pressure Switch, which attaches to the bottom of your Master Cylindar. Takes 10 minutes to repace by the AVERAGE machanic and cost under $ 30 bucks.

Good Luck,

AvalonJohn

Re: Cruise Control Problems

The brake pressure switch was exactly the problem. It was a dealer only part but still it only cost $20 and 10 minutes to fix. Thanks to all.
