cruise contol problem
 
ever since my brake light has come on for some reason i cant use my cruise contol anymore. is there some way i can fake out the light or get my cruise control to work becuase i have a 3 hour drive one way coming up and i dont feel like keeping my foot on the pedal. thanks

ahh a man who feels my pain. do u know what the fix for it is?

I opened mine up and stuck something in between the rubber microswitch and the plunger at the end of the button assembly...don't even remember what I used but as long as it doesn't easily fall out, it'll be fine. It makes it so the switch is always on, but why does it need to be off anyway? To turn off the light? Big deal.

haha makes sense to me. its an annoyance, but better than my last LIMG leak.

There's probably some requirement within the FMVSS rules that state that the system must be able to be shut off completely. Since you can do that on most all cars.

The manual says to turn off the cruise during city driving, so you don't accidently hit the "set" button, and the cruise takes over. I guess they figure you'll just take your foot off the gas to cruise to a stop, but the car won't slow down. Guess they never figured on you just hitting the brakes!!

stick the end of a toothpick in the ON/OFF switch for a wedge
