Here is the problem:
I turn on the cruise control via a switch on the dash by the steering wheel.
Then when I attempt to activate the cruise control by pressing the coast/set button, the gas pedal does not stay down and the cruise control is not activated (I loose speed), even though I see the "cruise" light come on in the instrument cluster.
What could the issue be? I am not sure what to look for.
Fixing this issue is not top priority, as I use this vehicle for mostly driving around town, but it would be nice to figure out how to fix it.
Cruise control not working...sort of...

A couple of questions.
There are TWO lights that should be on if the cruise is engaged
The first one turns on when you turn the switch on (my switch is on the left of the steering column the light is on the right) the second turns on when the cruise is engaged as you described by pushing in the button on the end of the lever.
If only the first light comes on AND you have a standard trans check and see if the clutch pedal switch is being engaged when the pedal is released.
That is where I would start.

My switch is in the same spot and the light illuminates when the switch is on. Everything else is as you described.Melbo wrote:A couple of questions.

I have a auto transmission.
Is the second light lighting up so both lights are lit and the cruise still not engaged or only the first light and the second does not come on.
If the second is not coming on then check for the brake switch to be open
If the second light is on and the cruise not engaged I would have to consult a wiring diagram to guess
Hope This Helps
