    Question 05-15-2009
    Shop 1A Auto® for Pontiac Grand Prix Turn Signal Wiper Lever With Cruise Control 1997-99 for your Grand Prix

    My cruise control stopped working I had them check out the electrical a bit awhile ago while getting something else done on the car and they couldn't find anything wrong with the wiring so I was told that the lever was probably shot.

    Questions are if there is anyway to take apart the lever on there now and if that is a common thing to fix or do I need to get a whole new one that I linked?

    Thanks just wanting to be able to use cruise again drive over one and a half hours to work each day

    Don't start replacing parts until you're sure what's wrong. Check your CHMSL (3rd brake light) first. If those bulbs are out, the your cruise control won't work (it's intended as a notification feature, but very few people know about it). There are also several other things that could be wrong. Have a shop diagnose to find out what the real problem is before spending money on parts you might not need.
