    What possible issues would cause the cruise control not to work? wipers, winshield washer fluid, blinkers, and brights all work off of that arm, but the cruise wont hold or accelerate. Thanks again, these forums are helping me out a lot.

    both cables are connected, one for the throttle and the other I presume is for the cruise, any other thoughts? I really appreciate the help/ideas

    Don't think blinker fluid is the problem here

    check fuses. if good disconnect the single brake light switch on your brake pedal, (there is a double plug switch and a single plug switch) jumper the connector and and test drive. if the cruise works then u need a new switch, if it doesnt then u have another problem... (this is what was wrong with my cruise)

    where exactly would the brake light switch be located, up behind the pedal, and what do they look like, fuses were good
    Thanks
