  • Cruise Control?

    Hey everyone, I own a 96 Cutlass Supreme 2 door and my cruise control has been dead for a while now....I would like to know what I should be looking for.

    The module is in good condition, the electrical plugs are hooked up correctly, and the cable is nice and taught. I think the problem lies with the switch, but before I start taking my column apart I wanted to know if anyone around here has done the same, or had CC problems.

    The blinkers work and so do the wipers lights etc, just the cruise is non-functional. I have had to replace the ignition in the car because the wires were stretched, so I am wondering if the cruise is also stretched and not connecting properly.

    I am 6'7'' so that is why the ignition had to be replaced, I drive with the tilt wheel almost all the way up!!!

    Thanks alot guys, good forum by the way, been coming here for about 4-5 years, just haven't joined until now!!!!

    Did you check for vacuum at the vacuum line? IIRC it's ported vacuum, only present when the throttle is open. Make sure that the diaphragm doesn't have a hole in it and holds vacuum.

    Also check for bad wires or burned/corroded terminals in the connector.

    Once all that's done, then dig into your column and check for bad wires.

      I thought these cars (1996) had electronic cruise, not vacuum....
