Cruise Control Won't work

Does anyone have any ideas. I'd check the fuse if I knew the cruise control had a seperate fuse. Thanks

a lot of times the sensors for the brake (and clutch if 5spd) aren't adjusted correctly so it wont let you engage it properly
There are two separate switches on each pedal so make sure they're adjusted correctly.

If its an automatic then it could be the steering wheel might not be getting power

Does the horn work?.......

It's a 5 speed. I'll check the sensors on the clutch pedal. I thought there was a light on the dash that cmae on when you turned the cruise control on. Thats not coming on either. Thanks for the advice. Wayne

Maxima Man, My horn and cruise both work intermittantly as well. I believe the either both work or both do not work. Is that usually the clock spring? Or is the a harness somewhere?

When I bought my car, the cruise didn't work.

I looked at the system and just decided to replace the assembly under the hood (IIRC, $10 at a junk yard).

this thing here, with all the wires and stuff connected:



Disconnected the battery, swapped in the new piece, cruise works.

Otherwise, try the fuse and relay for the cruise.

Mine works too, except the fuse for my dashboard went out last weekend and I haven't had time to fix it

Well for all you guys who say there horn and Cruise don't work then your steering wheel clock spring is sticking so your steering wheel is not getting power sometimes or all the time...

I had the dealer pull the wheel off and unstick the spring and both have worked perfect ever since!!!!

No airbag and the button on the dash that turns the little light in the dash on doesnt work either
