Cruise Control=Not Working

I'm goin on a 1200mi trip in 2 days and today found out my cruise control doesent work. I checked the fuse for cruise control and it appeared to be fine. Any of you guys have ideas on fixes for this problem, and what exactly is causing it not to work. The master cruise control switch lights up and when i press SET on the steering wheel, next to the tach it says "Cruise Control."

Thanks for your help.

Have you checked the cruise control mechanism in the engine bay?

There's a black box with a cable sticking out of it, on the passenger side of the engine bay, by the ABS modulator. Make sure the cable from there is properly secured, all the way to the throttle body.

If it is, then I can only guess that the cruise control unit itself has gone bad. Open 'er up (cover pops right off) and check it out.

Sounds like a problem with the mechanicals rather than the electronics.

Where is the fuse for the cruise control? I looked on the diagram of the fuse box in the engine bay but it nothing that pretained to cruise control.

I had the same problem! open up your hood and take a carefull look at the cruise control mechanism, it is located on the left side on engine I belive. there must be a socket with 2 wires that connects to it, make sure that socket is connected properly. that was my problme
hope that helps you!

Thumbs up Cruise Control Lights up then goes out

I have a 2003 TL-S , Just got it back from the dealer for a blown brake sensor fuse , My cruise control is not working. The main switch lights up , then the cruise on the dash lights up then goes away 1 sec later.


Anyone with this problem before I go back to the dealer?

Thanks
