Hi all,

I have had this problem for a while. Went through all the posts and found nothing that helps.

I can turn on the cruise control (the orange light will go one), but that is as far as I get. I checked the vacuum hose and it was fine. I dont know where to go from here.
Is there a way to test the pump? Any clues would help.

Thanks

the motor/vacume part might be the problem

have some one in the car
and see if you can hear it working or not

they can be pulled apart

s/h one from a wrecker maybe

What is the person inside the car doing? Doesnt the car have to be over 40 to activate it?

bumppp

It was my led tail lights in the end in case anyone was wondering :)

what LED lights exactly?? What vehicle was this for?

shorting out and causing the problem?

LED general have less resistance compare to a standard lamp, so they are known for screw up cruise control.

So I have found. I am hooking up load resistors to fix the problem. There goes a good part of leds. But ah well!

I have this happen on mine but intermittently, I have found that it is in my brake pedal switch or there somewhere. If I tap my brake pedal reasonably firmly so that it bounces back, my cruise works straight away, then after several brake applications I go to resume and nothing, I have to tap the pedal again. I am due to pull the dash out soon, so I will get a good look at what is down there and I am thinking it is probably years of built up dust, dirt, fluff and grease that are preventing a good contact.
Might help you, might not!

Out of curiosity... why is the dash coming out? Does sound a bit like you have guessed. I am guessing you drive around with your brake lights on quite often. People brake when they see your brake lights go to tail lights :P

Ah, converting it to climate etc with blackout cluster gauges. (3rd gen TE). No, don't really drive around with foot on brake that much, I did look though and its as I thought, dust dirt and carpet fluff build up combined with whatever the lubricant was for the pivot and switches there. It is all pretty manky and I am going to hit with some electrical contact cleaner once I get the worst of the gunk out.
