I have recently been experiencing a problem when trying to turn on my cruise control. I push the button and nothing happens. I keep pushing it and then it finally comes on. Anybody see that before???

 

thats weird, i havn't but keep me psoted...i'd like to know why

 

I know this sounds assinine, but on my 95, I SWEAR TO GOD that the switches fill up with dust and the contacts get dirty. I rarely use my cruise but when I do, I would have to push, push, push, and finally get a response. Then it worked fine. Same with the passeneger window switch becuase I hardly ever have passengers.....lol.


Check the vacuum lines obviously. Hell, just check that you have enough vacuum to begin with. Check the integrity of the lines themselves.


Finally, and I have seen this NUMEROUS times, check the brake light switch. That switch will cause a lot problems. If the plunger detents are worn out, and the switch is "loose", the cruise will not engage, or it will, and then if you hit a bump, it will disengage. Sounds freaky but I swear that switch could be a problem. So couldn't the dust.


Just my experience and 1.5 cents......LOL....


Good luck.

 

try sparying some dry igintion on the electrical componets around the switch and stuff it works wonders for me when the electrical componets don't seem to work for me
