    Make sure your 3rd brake light works and that the fuse(s) are good.

    Anthing past that will need further diag.

    I'm sure I could dig up a whole page full of info about it, but its just one of those things that GM did where multiple functions go off or tie into the same fuse/circut.

    I'm having a cruise control problem with my 07 Grand Prix. I have checked my fuse and 3rd brake light. Both are good..... the light doesn't come on the dash where its says "cruise on".. If I tap the set button 4 or 5 times real fast it will flash on and right back off. the cruise doesn't set at all... Basically I got in my Grand Prix one day and it didn't work... If anyone could help that would be great...Thanks

    Curly..

    SEarch on Highoctaneracing as a username. Kyle had an issue, I think it was the multifunction switch. IIRC there were some good diagnostics in his thread.

    Anytime.. and if you don't find anything, pm him. Tell him I suggested it. He's a pretty good egg. Although..his method of working on a car is interesting.

    Lol..... I think I found the thread... If it was about someone that lost there turn signal or something like that... I clicked on link that shows step by step on changing the multifunction switch..... I'm not a dumb but I'm no mechanic so it looks little challenging to me.. Thanks again...
