Cruise Control not working

[leonpiper69]

So I found something wrong with my new 07 **......

The cruise control does not work at all. IT lights up when you press the on/0ff button but that is it.

I tried searching but my google-fu is weak.

Are there common issues that come up concerning cruise control? Common things to check before really tearing into it?

Months late but am just browsing around and saw this. Check/change your brake pedal switch. Its probably stuck, wore out, broken.... Cheap fix and you should be good again.

Whole different animal but that was the problem (brake switch at the pedal) on my '99 Dodge Ram too.

I am having a similar issue, but the light on my steering wheel does not even come on...any ideas?

If you have a brake light bulb burnt out in either of your tail lights, cruise control will not work. Safety feature that gm built into these. At least that’s how it is on my 2006. Check your tail lights first. Cheap easy solution if that fixes it haha.

if the light does not come on check your fuse box for a blown fuse

Your owners manual should show you which fuse. If you don't have a hard copy look online for the PDF version. Good luck.

Could be the module on the steering wheel, clockspring, etc. If you try to operate it and it does not work the BCM should set an internal code that you can pull with your Tech2. Didn't you also have something going on with the steering wheel position sensor?

I never saw any codes come up when I had the scanner hooked up. The airbag was deployed, so maybe clockspring? I will be checking fuses and stuff like that first.

Well, it could be the switch itself on the steering wheel. I'm sure you have access to them in the scrap yard to test/swap out.
