Default Cruise control stops working??? On switch, resume switch nothing happened when I pressed them???
On the way home tonight @ 65 mph, I tried the cruise control switch, nothing happened. Is there a fuse or something simple? They worked last week.

Default Look for a vacuum leak to the cruise control controller......
It is on the driver's side just in front of the firewall. Mine had become disconnected and exhibited the same behavior. Reconnected- fixed!

Default I couldn't find the vacuum hose, but I wiggle and press anything that's hanging around the brake
master cylinder and now it works. This is scary, but I can't complain. Thanks Skiracer. Can you take the picture of the part in front to the firewall so I can see.

Thanks,
