Default Cruise control not working! Help!

Hey y'all I have a 2003 1500 hemi. I had a bad clock spring; so replaced with new one and air bag light and cruise control didnt work, returned it and got yet another one, air bag light is now off however the cruise control light won't even come on let alone work. Any help would be great thanks!

It could be several things including the ABS sensor in the front left wheel hub

I think you messed up the install of the clock spring, they are VERY delicate. So you might have to tear into that again, and you'll have to be Extra Careful this time around.

If the clock spring isn't damaged then you may have just messed up a wire or harness, so just check them all for burns or melted plastic.

Is it possible that the button could be messed up now? Cuz I grabbed another one at the junkyard and still no cruise control? Looked for a fuse but doesn't look like there is one.

Could be a number of things but if it worked before and now it doesn't then something is wrong with what you did... so I would check on that first..... might be time to use NEW parts instead of junkyard parts.

Also remember to do this with the battery disconnected, you don't want to pop the airbags...
