Default Cruise Control Problem

Hello All,

I know this topic may have been covered couple of times, I have been searching but may need additional help to understand what to do as also I am not a very mechanic guy let me say.

I was not bothered with the cruise not working but after I fixed many things now my OCD does not allow me to be comfortable without it working

So, my button works, when I click the button an amber light comes on to indicate that its turned on but my steering wheel buttons does nothing, it does not fix it. I have been checking the topics about the actuator and the cables and checking the manuals, but I would be happy if you can also give some light on what can I check more? I wanted to fix this myself without taking it to a shop but lets see.

Here are couple of photos that I took from the engine bay.

First off your hose on the back of the vacuum actuator is bad, start by replacing that. If that does not fix it recommend swapping with a known good one, I have had the actual little pump go bad a few times.

Thank you for your reply let me start with the hose and move on with that in the meantime.

are you running LEDs in any of the three brake lights? if so, they may keep the CC from working.

You also have damaged wire loom. Those can spontaneously disintegrate sometimes, but if that was mechanical damage then you might have damaged wires too. Inspect those.

And remember that you have to pull the Set button *towards* you to make it work. Don't push it.

Do your horns and your brake lights work? There look to be three fuses that are in play. (one you've already indicated as good)

I'm with Extinct. Cut this hose back to a fresh section and shove it back on there. Even if other parts are also bad, this will definitely prevent it from working so start here. My guess is this will fix it.
