Anyone got any pointers on where to look for a cruise control that often won't engage. It seems worse in cold weather.
I'll be on the highway and the cruise is working fine. I'll stop for gas, get back out on the highway and the cruise won't come on. I've tried using the on/off button, and the others in every order imaginable order without help. I thought at one time I could get it working again by pulling the brake pedal up against the stop with my foot, but that doesn't seem to work anymore. Every once in a while the cruise will drop out for no apparent reason. It regularly drops out when I hit large bumps in the road.
OK, now for a second anomaly. When the cruise was working properly, I noticed that if I set the cruise at less than 35 mph and came to a downhill stretch, the cruise would throttle back to the point where the engine would die. This happened 3 times. This isn't a real problem, except my wife uses hand controls and if the engine dies, she can't stop, steer and restart at the same time like the rest of us.
I posted this on another board, but go no replies...
