Cruise control not working

[Denarli]

AC Delco part# D1539J fixed the cruise control my 2007 GMC Yukon.

I am trying to track my no cruise issue down, my steering wheel cruise button lights up and brake lights all work, I pulled the brake switch off and used some 2500 grit sand paper on the contacts but didn't help.
I've read about the LED lights causing issues and noticed my right light is aftermarket, not LED... I believe it's a DEPO brand OEM style light. I know it uses a different type of bulb in it compared to the OEM but I sure wouldn't think that it would make a difference in resistance or would it?

Best bet is to replace the switch.

yeah I agree. Just throw a new switch in first, they are cheap. Like $15. My first switch was AC Delco and didnt last but a month. Then bought one from advance auto parts, dorman brand I think and that has lasted. Could also be a bad hub/bearing if you havent had them replaced in a long time. That was the main reason my cruise never worked though I had no codes saying the hub was bad.

I will definitely get one on my next trip to Oreilleys.

I just bought this Yukon so I'm trying to fix one thing at a time and hopefully get to the end of the list soon!

Replaced my brake switch for the 2nd time but it still doesn't work all of the time

There is no pattern as to when this works or doesn't work. When it does work, it works flawlessly and consistent. Then if I shut off the truck and restart, it'***** or miss if it will work again

@Ponchonutty, mine was sorta like that though much worse. It would only work every 50th try and then wouldn't stay on. It ended up being a bad wheel bearing.

Hmm, did you have any other symptoms such as airbag light on? Everything else works fine for me

@Ponchonutty , no thats the funny thing is I had no other symptoms that something was wrong. On my 2004 denali when the wheel bearing went bad it lit up the abs light and the stabilitrak. I had none of these problems on my 2009 so it was a real mystery as to why the cruise wouldnt work. It was dumb luck that I fixed it when replacing the wheel bearing. The wheel bearings on these trucks are all junk IMO. They dont last very long. I have also read that your abs sensor can sometimes be dirty if the bearing isnt bad. This dirty sensor will also prevent cruise from working though it usually will kick on the ABS light. But cleaning the sensor is tricky as alot of people break them in the process.
