Cruise Control Inop

Post by CaptSquid »

With all the vacuum lines in place and intact, I still don't have cruise control. Is it possible that the problem may lie in the Multi-Function switch?

The cruise control on the 98 is electronic. There is the multi-function switch as well as the module itself mounted to the firewall. If the fuse is good and the switch on the brake pedal checks out, I suppose the multi-function switch could be bad.

Could be the switch. I have a CC that quits everytime I use the signals or wipers or flik to high beams or back to low beams.
I strongly suspect the switch, but dont use it enough to care.... :yawinkle:

Sadly, with feet that are falling apart (literally) and arthritic knees, CC comes in very handy. I've even had to learn how to brake using the left foot.
