im assuming that the cruise button on the steering wheel is pressed before you try to set. Check the crusie control module behind the strut bar on the passenger side firewall and make sure that it is still attached to the strut bar.

I remember reading about the switch going bad now that i think about it. Try holding the switch down and see if it engages. if it is the switch, its pretty simple to swap it out and its also fairly inexpensive.

There are switches on the brake pedal that control the brake lights and cruise. I have seen the rubber pads that the switches contact with disintegrate and have even seen the witches get kicked and knocked out of alignment (cheap plastic). There are usually 2 switches. One for cruise and one for brake. In my Nissan pickup, both switches have to be in working order for the cruise to engage. Check the switches.....never hurts...

One easy way to determine if it is the switches is to firmly lift up on the pedal with your foot to see of the problem goes away.

These cars feel decently stable at those speeds IMO

As for using cruise control (at any speed), I don't think I've used it more than 3 or 4 times tops

Well.. Schaub made some bad decisions. Everything went wrong for Texans and right for Pats.. I don't think the Pats could Rout the Texans like that again. Texans need to tighten up their coverage if they want to win it this year.

All 21 of them. I can't find that thread on rear deck rattle. I would like to attempt to fix that before I put my back seat in. Guess will just have to crank up some music and dig around.
