Cruise control button not working?
Hey there! Recently I bought a 2013 Durango RT(maybe 3 weeks ago). I’ve not had any problems with her(she’s got 117k miles) and I absolutely love it. But tonight as we were leaving and a cop followed us into the freeway, I went to set my cruise control so I knew I would go over the 60mph speed limit. Only to find out, it didn’t want to come on. Didn’t have a problem with it before, my menu and phone buttons work on the other side of the steering wheel, but not the cruise control on/off. If course the other ones like “set, +\-, res” won’t work because it won’t come on in the first place.
Anyone else have/had this problem? Oh! We later pulled over, turned off the car and back on, still nothing. Get to the house turn car off, wait about 5 min and turned back on, still didn’t work.
Thanks in advance!

This will probably sound like a dumb question, but are you absolutely sure you were trying to engage the cruise correctly? It's easy to get flustered because there's a cop behind you (even though you tried it two other times later and it still didn't work). The next thing to confirm is that the fuses are good for the system. Also, try your horn to make sure it works. Honking the horn should cause the cruise to turn off so if your horn is not working properly, the system may be smart enough to prevent the cruise from engaging.

10A fuse F82 in the Power Distribution Center would be for the cruise control, but since operation seems intermittent, it seems unlikely to be a fuse. Hmmm.....
If you happen to have a professional-grade scan tool you could monitor the switch input to see if the systems recognizes when the button is pressed, even when the cruise fails to turn on. If it does recognize the press, then you'd know there was some other sensor or feature that is preventing the cruise from engaging. Any chance you have access to such a scan tool?
