Thread jack!!

My cruise control doesn't function anymore. Fuses fresh. Relay's fine, even replaced just to check. I'm thinking a vacuum somewhere, something that holds the pedal down. Any ideas?

There is a wire behind the instrument cluster that is connected to the output of the speedometer. I don't know if this is what the cruise control uses as a reference or if it sends a signal to the OBC (or both) but my cruise control started failing intermittantly ever since I was fooling around back there. When I pull out the cluster and wiggle the wire and put it back in place, the cruise works fine for a while and then goes back to the intermittant problems.

Yes the wire at the green connector is for the cruise control. Some later cars have 2 wires, one would go to the ECU for a top speed governer. This can be unplugged safely, and will disable the governer with no side effects. So go back there and start messin with stuff, haha.

Have you checked the throttle cable to the cruise control box?? That may have stretched or be disconnected somehow...
