Cruise Control Not Working

It would be difficult to find a vehicle on the road today without cruise control. This invaluable feature makes driving long distances easier but can also cause trouble when it malfunctions. Understanding the reasons your cruise control stopped working ensures that you can get the problem fixed quickly for a more enjoyable ride. 

While this fault can cause issues with the cruise control system itself, there could also be an effect on the acceleration of your vehicle. That’s why you want to have it looked at as soon as you notice a problem. Let’s take a quick look at the reasons your cruise control may have stopped working.

Reasons Why Your Cruise Control Stopped Working

The most common reason a cruise control stops working is due to a blown fuse or a defective brake pedal switch . It can also be caused by issues with the throttle control system or the ABS. In older cruise control systems, it can be caused by a broken vacuum line.

Here is a more detailed list of the possible reasons your cruise control is not working:

1. Blown Fuse

Broken Fuse

All electrical systems in the vehicle are controlled by fuses. Your cruise control system is attached to a fuse that can blow if there is a short circuit or fault. Without a good fuse, the cruise control system can’t work at all.

Thankfully, it’s not difficult to find and replace a blown fuse. Look in the owner’s manual to find the fuse that corresponds with the cruise control technology. 

2. Defective Brake Pedal Switch

Push Brake Pedal

The brake pedal switch is responsible for turning the brake lights on and off based on the pedal position. Cruise control systems are designed to disengage whenever your brake pedal gets pressed. 

Because the cruise control is wired into the brake pedal switch, any fault can cause it to stop working. When the brake pedal switch malfunctions, the car believes the brakes are engaged, causing the system to turn off automatically. Not only that, but your car’s brake light might also be stuck on, leaving confused drivers in your wake. 

3. Malfunctioning Speed Sensor

Abs Sensor Close

Speed sensors are located on every wheel or differential. The purpose of these sensors is to monitor the speed of the wheels to determine if traction control is needed. 

The speed sensors are also part of the cruise control system. When a sensor fails, the cruise control can stop working and the speedometer might act strange as well. 

If there is an issue with a speed sensor, it will often show with an ABS warning light or a check engine light on the dashboard.

4. Electrical Issues

Cruise Control Buttons

The cruise control system is electronic, with many components working together to make the system operate. If the cruise control fails to work, you want to check the wiring harness and associated connectors for a fault.

You also need to ensure that the voltage source is supplying enough power to the system. Even the smallest fault can cause defects with the cruise control. In many cases, there can be an issue with the cruise control lever or buttons causing the cruise control to not engage.

If your cruise control buttons are located on the steering wheel it could also be caused by a bad clock spring, which is located behind the steering wheel.

Check the system with an OBD2 scanner to look for any trouble codes related to the cruise control.

5. Damaged Vacuum Actuator, Hoses or Cable (Older cruise control)

If you drive an older vehicle with cruise control, you might have an issue with the vacuum actuator or the cable that connects to the throttle. If there has been damage done to the vacuum hoses or the actuator, the cruise control will stop working altogether.

Additionally, the cable linking the actuator to the throttle must be in good shape. If it has been broken, the cruise control will fail. 

What is Cruise Control?

Cruise control is a feature that is used when you are traveling at a consistent speed. Cruise control was first introduced for automobiles in the 1950s. However, it took many years before it became a staple in the modern vehicle.

This electrical system allows you to set a predetermined speed and take your foot off of the gas pedal. If you are on a long drive, there is less fatigue because you don’t have to try to maintain your speed. Cruise control can also benefit fuel economy because the vehicle uses less fuel when traveling steadily. 

In newer cars, you might be able to find adaptive cruise control , which is a smart technology. Adaptive cruise control allows you to travel at a predetermined speed, but it also helps to maintain a safe distance from the vehicles in front of you with the help of sensors. With conventional cruise control, you need to take over when the car in front of you slows down, but that’s not the case with adaptive cruise control. 

There are also vehicles nowadays with not only cruise control, but fully self-driving vehicles . We will most likely see much more of this in the future.

Cruise Control Repair Cost

The cost to repair your cruise control system depends on what caused it to fail. If you need to replace a cruise control or brake switch, you might spend between $125 and $350, including parts and labor. However, the cost to change a fuse is only a few dollars and you can perform the replacement yourself in just a matter of seconds. 

On the other hand, when something major fails, such as the actuator, you could be looking at a much higher repair bill. In some vehicles, the cost to replace a cruise control actuator can cost more than $700. These costs rise if you drive a luxury vehicle or one that is difficult to get parts for. 

It might not seem immediately important for you to fix the broken cruise control, but this defective system can affect other performance aspects. You could start to notice issues with acceleration or have trouble with the speedometer. To play it safe, it’s always best to have the cruise control repaired as soon as you notice a problem.

Is there a fuse for the cruise control?

Yes. If the cruise control is installed from the factory, you should check your car’s owner’s manual for the fuse location. If it’s an aftermarket cruise control, you’ll need to follow the wires to find the fuse.

Does the brake switch affect the cruise control system?

Yes. The brake switch affects the cruise control system. The brake switch sends a signal to the cruise control system to let it know when the brakes are being applied for the engine to know when it should stop accelerating.

Will the cruise control work if the check engine light is on?

The cruise control function will be disabled when the check engine light is on in most car models, even if the cause of the check engine light is not the cruise control itself. This is mainly due to safety reasons.

Can a vacuum leak affect cruise control?

Older vehicles use vacuum to control the throttle for the cruise control, and in this case a vacuum leak can heavily affect the cruise control. However, modern cruise controls are fully electric and in most cases will not be affected by a vacuum leak if the check engine light is not illuminated.

Although many people may think that the cruise control system is unimportant and not worth spending money to repair, the problem can be caused by a faulty part that will affect the engine’s performance or durability. Therefore, it is best not to ignore the problem if your cruise control is not working without first diagnosing the car properly.

If your cruise control still isn’t working after trying all the tips in this article, it’s probably time to take it in for a professional opinion from a mechanic. It may be a more serious problem that requires replacement parts or repairs. In the meantime, drive safe and enjoy the open road!

The cruise control on our 2017 Dodge Journey quit working after resetting the "oil change due" message. I was able to fix it by locating the Steering Column Control Module fuse under the dash on the passenger side. I pulled the fuse, turned the ignition on to the run position (without hitting the pedal). The wipers came on with the wiper controls in the off position. Turned the ignition back to off. I replaced the fuse and started the engine. The cruise light came on when the on/off button was pressed. Test drove and turned the cruise on and off several times. This included using set, reset, +, - and cancel functions.

2007 Ford Focus SE - cruise control stopped working

  • Add to quote

Hi, I was using my cruise control on the road and it suddenly stopped working. My research lead me to check the following things: Fuse: F2.42 10A Stoplamps, speed control Fuse: F2.53 10A speed control, Park/neutral position (PNP) switch They were good. The Cruise Control Release Switch. I tested this switch and it opens and closes when pushing the stick in and out. I tried the cruise control with the connector disconnected from the switch and tried with the 2 wires of the connector of the switch short-circuited. It couldn’t get the cruise control to work. I don’t know if it is related but I noticed that my reverse lights do not work. I tested: Fuse: F2.50 10A Reversing lamps. I was good. I don’t know what else to check or do. Any suggestions? 2007 Ford Focus SE 2.0 L manual transmission 33,000 miles  

Action

  • Enter self-test diagnostics by firmly pressing and holding the speed control OFF switch while quickly cycling the ignition switch from RUN-to-OFF-to-RUN, making sure the engine does not start and is not running. The speed control indicator lamp on the instrument panel will flash once to indicate that the speed control module has entered the diagnostic mode. Release the OFF switch. If 5 additional flashes are displayed at this point, a speed control subsystem concern exists.
  • RSM (resume)
  • CST (coast)
  • The speed control indicator lamp flashes once after each of the first 4 buttons is successfully pressed. Firmly press and release each switch in the sequence immediately after the light goes out for the previous switch.
  • 0 flashes: No flash after the last button pressed: suspect circuitry or speed control switch.
  • 1 flash: Static test passed.
  • 2 flashes: The stop lamp switch is damaged, circuit is damaged, or brake pedal is applied; CPP switch is damaged, circuit is damaged, or clutch pedal is applied.
  • 3 flashes: The speed control deactivator switch is open or the circuit is damaged.
  • 4 flashes: The vehicle speed signal is out of range or circuit is damaged.
  • 5 flashes: Speed control actuator internal failure.
  • NOTE: Monitor the PCM throttle position PID after the last button is pressed. Within 0.25 second after the static test has passed, the speed control actuator carries out a dynamic pull test automatically by actuating the throttle lever from 1 to 10 mm (0.04 to 0.39 inches) of travel from the idle position for 3 seconds and then releasing the throttle. If the PID value does not change and holds steady for 3 seconds, During the dynamic throttle pull, observe throttle movement to witness any binding or sticking of the speed control cable, verify the correct connection of the speed control cable to the throttle lever, and make sure that the throttle returns to the idle position. If incorrect connection and/or binding or sticking of the speed control is observed

Did you get the 5 flashes at the end of the first bullet point? Reads in part .... ....Release the OFF switch. If 5 additional flashes are displayed at this point, a speed control subsystem concern exists. Action  

No. No light after releasing the OFF switch at the end of the 1st bullet. The light flashed once after pressing each switch as mentioned in bullet points 3 There was a movement of the throttle but no more flashing after that.  

Your statement above means all of the subsystems are good. And the actuator operated the throttle. Either - all is well and the speed control works Or there is an intermittent issue that tested good. If this is the case it is usually a poor electrical connection. If you can get to any connections, take apart and clean as needed. OR there is some other issue that going through the shop manual diagnosis routine. Action  

I did some cleaning. I don't know what really caused it but the cruise control came back to life. Thank you very much for all the wonderful inputs. This was an outstanding service.  

Dirt, one of the biggest enemies in the auto world. Especially for electrical connections. Keep things clean!!! Action

Cruise Control Stopped Working

I don't use it that often but for what ever reason, the cruise control has stopped working for a second time. Last time this happened my battery needed to be replaced as did all the sensors for the key less injury. I thought that maybe it was somehow related. When I got the car back from those repairs, cruise control worked again. Hit the button, and nothing happens. Should produce an icon on the dash that says cruise is on but nothing.  

MattHarrell

Damn. That sucks (again).  

It would seem that my car has a few electronic gremlins.  

Hopefully the dealer/Ford can exercise them for good.  

Just as mysteriously as it appeared, the problem went away and cruise is working again. I got the wiper cover recall so I'm going to schedule and see if I can't kill two birds with one stone here and get this fixed.  

Turns out the cruise control issue is somehow connected to the transmission update. Had it done and cruise now works. Shifting is better, firmer.  

That's cool, but are you sure it's actually fixed permanently this time? I hate to see it come back later. I have an appointment to get that update done in a couple of weeks.  

bluebyutoo said: Cruise stopped working again today, just as randomly as ever... Click to expand...

Service Tech told me he looked into the transmission updates and it was noted that the cruise control issue would be fixed by the update. So far so good. The car shifted better in stop and go traffic today!  

bluebyutoo said: for the key less injury. Click to expand...

Lol! Predictive text strikes again!  

Cruise stopped working again today, just as randomly as ever...  

With electrical or computer gremlins, yes, I would expect an actual fix to be permanent. If it comes back days or even weeks later, they didn't get the root cause.  

Keep in mind this is an all new, first year of production car, there are going to be glitches as there always are and sometimes permanent fixes take some time to find. People always say to never buy a first year car exactly because of issues like this, of course that's not possible as someone has to buy them and for the most part there's nothing truly wrong with them but there are always issues that show up in normal use that didn't show up during pre-production testing. I had a 2000 Focus, yup first year car with all the recalls they were notorious for and to be totally honest it was a fantastic little car and I still miss it. .  

I made an appointment today for next week as the cruise no longer works at all. That, and I have front suspension noise that would seem to be due to either defective struts and or a motor mount. Lastly the headliner is making squeaking noise at idle and in reverse.  

Redwake

you have the new focus so this may not apply to you but i was having some gremlins and after pulling fuse panels testing wires on and on you know what it turned out to be? the little freaking twist caps for the wire harnesses that run through the drivers door. they were loose finger tightened them and now my cruise control works, my windows all roll down my trunk release, my rear window defogger, all works its like a new damn car. but not as said.. not as new as yours.  

Dealer is ordering a new multi function switch and control modular. Apparently, I got a bad one which explains the intermittent work / doesn't work problem.

Cruise control issue and others

SteveG

  • Add to quote

Any clues where to start looking as my cruise control has stopped working? Press to engage and not working and nor the limiter, doesn't light up on the dials, was fine. Is this another thing that needs full battery charge? wouldn't have thought so when driving with alternator doing it's bit. Have obd reader booked tomorrow as I wanted to see if there are any clues to my other issues of sudden very poor MPG and although recently serviced cannot get the engine service due warning to go off, it had been cancelled when done and which is only random on now and then, some days it doesn't warn at all.  

Checked battery voltage again having charged once already this winter, 9 volts! Fitting a new one and I reckon this will solve the cruise, service warning and the stop start that doesn't when getting the obd reader looked at at 5 o'clock if new battery has arrived there.  

Alb

Have you checked that the charging side is working correctly?  

Battery tested as dud so went that route first, will see if the new one stays charged in use. All problems gone now, even the stop start works now that never did before, will see if it lasts. Did wonder how these issues continued while driving though as current should be strong when running.

Focus Mk3 Cruise Control button stopped working - how to open and clean contacts?

The steering wheel cruise control button on my mk3 focus has stopped working - when this happened about a year ago the garage said they cleaned the contacts and it started working again. Recently it's failed again so it's time to open it up and clean the contacts or just bite the bullet and replace the button assembly.

Does anybody have information on how to open this up to clean the button contacts?

I never got a response but I'm still looking for a solution! Could anyone advise how I should proceed?

TomsFocus

Cleaning contacts rarely works for long in my experience.  Just replace the switch imo.

Is there any information on how to remove / get in to the button / switch assembly? 

6 minutes ago, IceQubed said: Is there any information on how to remove / get in to the button / switch assembly? 

You just need to remove the airbag and then the switch is screwed to the inside of the wheel casing.

The airbag is held in by a big spring clip that needs to be levered out each side.

Can probably find a better video if you search YouTube but this is the first one I found...

Thanks! I managed to find a (likely aftermarket copy) listing for a switch:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32841881924.html

I think I may have managed to get the part number for this part:

DT1T-9E740-AA 

DT1T9E740AA

Though this part number seems to also find a bunch of similar but incorrect other cruise control button assemblies. 

I have no idea if £61 is a good price or not but I haven't found it elsewhere yet... I hoped there might be some way to get an OEM part.

jlawes20389

May be worth checking eBay ? Although you might not get a brand new switch you might have some luck. I retrofitted cruise control to two focuses and got the steering wheels with switches for £25 each.

I think this is the correct Ford service part number (the type the dealers use) - 1782873.  If you contact your closest main dealer and ask them to quote a price for it, that should give you a good base price to work from.  Oddly, I can't find any new on eBay .

I think all of the superceeding part numbers will still work (the dash type number you have) as long as it's from a car with the same spec as yours - presumably basic cruise & limiter.  Adaptive cruise switches are different, as are non-limiter switches.  From a quick eBay search I've come across these used, but would suggest double checking before purchasing any.

Cruise Control not Working

DerbyDave

  • Add to quote

I have a 2002 ZX5 with manual transmission and the cruise is not working. I have gone through the self test that I found outlined elsewhere on the site and that does not reveal any problems. I have also checked the fuse and switches on the brake and clutch and those are at least being depressed when the brake is off and the clutch is disengaged. The strange thing is that I have gotten the cruise to work a few times but there is no pattern to why it will sometimes work.  

bringler26

I have the same problem. Haven't been able to fix it for 3 years. I have replacement buttons for the steering wheel to try. I have a feeling that the contacts in the buttons are worn out or have too mucch dirt in them. I have an 03 zx3  

I doubt it's the steering wheel buttons when I do the built in self test each button responds with a flash from the cruise light.

No auto start here, The car is bone stock  

gondorian

The cable is supposed to be like that  

I don't believe in remote starts  

I fixed my cruise today! This summer I replaced my broken stock 3rd brake light with a LED replacement. The cruise control requires a certain amount of resistance in the brake circuit and because LED are very low current it confused the cruise control. I added a resistor made for LED automotive lighting and now my cruise works again!  

Hi DerbyDave! I have the same issue. Do you recall what size resistor you used and/or where you purchased it? Thanks!  

Shapo

Hi guy somebody can tell me how fix it my cruise control on my focus 2004 ZTS. I check all fuses and change the switch to the pedal brake but still not working.. Thanks.

    The steering wheel cruise control button on my mk3 focus has stopped working - when this happened about a year ago the garage said they cleaned the contacts and it started working again. Recently it's failed again so it's time to open it up and clean the contacts or just bite the bullet and replace the button assembly.
