Hi,

im new to the forums and i have recently bought a used 05 TL. I recently tried using cruise control and now no matter what i press the light indicator for the cruise control doesnt go away. Can anyone tell me how i can remove this light? also my car feels heavier and harder to accelerate after using cruise control even after i turned off the car and tried to go to work this morning the light is still on and car feels heavy

thank you

 

There is a Cruise Control "Main" button plus the steering wheel control buttons.

Sounds like oyu need to press the "Main" button. IIRC, it is on the left side of the steering wheel - a small metallic looking button. That turns the cruise on and off.

 

um bearcat im not sure i see a metallic button on the left side i have a main button on right side and i tried pressing it but the light is still on. unless im missing a button

 

I can't reference the Owners Manual at the moment and don't recall for sure where each button located. (I just finsihed driving the '02 TL-S for about 800 miles and I'm worried about getting one confused with the other.)

Basically there are 4 buttons/switches:

- The Accel/Resume button
- The Set/Decel button
- The Cancel button

These are all (IIRC) on the steering wheel and control the operation of the CC.

There is on other button that turns the Cruise function on or off (all the way off). This is the button you need to push. When this button is "on", cruise will be *available" but not engaged, until you hit the "Set" button.

If you brake or Cancel, the cruise will disengage, but still be *available* until you turn that Main button off.

 

nope, bearcat is mistaken. there are 4 buttons for the cruise control on the right hand side, the Cancel button, Set, Resume, and Cruise Main. With Cruise Main on, you well get a green light in the display guage. The cruise main button is the small button above the cancel button.

 

yes i keep pressin cruise main and the friggin light wont go off is it a mechanical problem?

 

Sorry for the confusion - the main cruise button on the 2g is on the left dash console.


Definetly sounds like it.

I think the Cruise Main should go off when you turn the car off. Is your's *always* on, even after engive restart? Does the cruise actually engage or is the light just malfunctioning.

Regardless, theat light should go on and off with the Cruise Main Button. Sounds like an electrical gremlin of some sort - probably a switch.

 

yea its always on even after engine restart, i knew it was a problem but refused to believe it was lol well thanx anyway

 

oh yea it is just the light the cruise itself is not on ofcourse so i guess i can live with it just kinda annoying having it there :P

 

Mine stays on too.

 

lol just press the cruise control button again.. and it will click off. theres acel/decel cancel and the cruise control button. you use that button to turn it on/off. cancel will just cancel the cruise setting u have it on.
