Why is My Cruise Control Not Working?

Your cruise control not working can be a cause of an electrical problem. Reasons why your vehicle's cruise control does not work include:

• Bad Fuse - Most common reason for non-functioning cruise control. The blown fuse of the will stop cruise control from working altogether.
• Failing Brake Pedal Switch - The brake pedal switch turns on the vehicle's brake lights when it senses that the brake pedal has been pressed. If the brake pedal switch fails, the car may think the brakes are engaged and not allow the cruise control system to turn on.
• Failing Speed Sensor - A failed speed sensor may also cause the speedometer to stop working and the engine to have more difficulty when idling.

• Damaged Vacuum Actuator/Hoses/Cable - Common issue with older vehicles as cruise control speed is maintained using a vacuum actuator and a cable connected to the throttle.

How to Use Cruise Control?

Cruise control is activated by the touch of a button. If you are scheduled for a long drive on the highway with little to no traffic, accelerate to a set speed (preferably the speed limit) and distance, and press the cruise control button on your steering wheel. 

This convenient feature allows you to rest your foot for a longer than expected period of time. While cruise control has its benefits, it still remains important to be vigilant of your vehicles behind and in front of you. A sudden failure in your cruise control may mean your vehicle is rapidly decelerating.
