Default Cruise Control Problem

I had the exact same problem, and it took awhile to figure out. Apearantly the stock anti-skid brake sensors had a problem with my aftermarket hubs. The shop replaced the sensor with a different one (not sure what the difference was) and the problem went away.

Bad front wheel sensor. I just went thru this. Had a new hub put on under warranty and when I got it back, the cruise wouldn't even come on. The new Dodge sensor was bad. They hooked my old one up and it worked fine, so they replaced the sensor again from another new hub.
