No Cruise Control

[5spdAlero]

My cruise control just doesnt work. I found this out on georgia 85 when i was doing 70 and turned it on and looked back down a couple of seconds later and i was doing 55. Im pretty sure it is just a fuse but then again im not sure. If anyone has had this problem or knows anything about it let me know
thanx

when i owned my last car sometimes the cruise didnt work but after i shut off and restarted it worked fin, the i have now hacve to raplce all the steering column buttons since its all one part at the dealer its like $55, but u could be right i pretty sure there is a fuse and maybe a relay or 2 good luck with it

the cruise control button breaks all the time. I hardly ever used mine, and mine is broken. The part isn't expensive, but to install it, you have to take out the airbag and whatnot. Its easier to superglue the button down, if the button on the right of the steering wheel won't stay down.

If that isn't your problem, then i guess it could possibly be a fuse, but I don't know for sure.

Mine has never worked which sucks for long trips, but if you happen to find anything out let me know too.

mine still works but sometimes i have to hit the on/off button just right.

Mine wasn't working it was the switch that was the On/Off switch that wasn't working, it wouldn't stay on. You can still get to the switch by taking the black cover off the back without taking the airbag off, you just can't remove the switch fully. I just stuck something in between the button and the little circuit board in there. Now the little light on the steering wheel is always on, but atleast my cruise works.

Mine broke before my warranty ran out. Dealer fixed it. I don't think I've ever used my cruise control.

This may sound stupid, but also check to make sure the cruise control cable is connected to your throttle body. Just a thought.

anyone find the part number for this, or where to get them other than the dealer?

It may sound funny, but when i was cleaning the salt out of my intake and throttle body i must have accidently unplugged it. I was trying to figure out for days why mine wasnt working and then I realized the damn thing wasnt plugged in!!
