Cruise control failure

Yahoo Message Number: 81364
On a 2006 Inspire, is there a separate fuse for the cruise control? My cruise control was working fine until we stopped. When restarting the engine to resume the trip It no longer works. Everything else in the smart wheel still works.

Ogp,

I doubt there is a fuse as it is controlled by the ecm and sensors through a data cable that is connected to your transmission and brakes. I've heard of the brake pedal switch causing this problem. Try pulling it up with your foot and see if it changes any thing.

Do your other smartwheel functions work?
On my 2007 Allure, I had problems with my cruise control on the smart wheel. It would usually work and 50 to 1000 miles later it would not, then start working again. Wipers would also work or not. I installed an emergency wiper override switch on the dash just in case it decided not to work when I needed them. Horn always works, even though it was part of the smartwheel wiring.
After a year (three service attempts at various rallies), finally found a bad crimp in a plastic molex connect to the controller (located below the dash on the front (fire)wall. Crimp was only holding two strands of one of the signal wires, and sometimes 3 or 4 strands would touch.
There are a few other molex connector to check too. One on the steering column and another at the connection to the clockspring (not sure that is the name, but it is the part that allows the wiring to work from a shart left to a sharp right turn).
There are four wires from the smartwheel on the steering wheel hub to the controller, which carry various signal voltages to identify which button is being pressed.
If yours is a solid (permanent) failure, unlike mine, at least you (or service) will have a failure to work with.

We also have a 2006 Inspire 360 AND we have the exact same problem, we replaced the fuse, once we started and stopped again, the same problem, with the cruise control, and the fuse was fine...need help ! ButchHampton

We lost turn signals and horn because of frayed wires inside the boot that covers bottom of steering column. The wires for cruise control are in same bundle. It is easy to remove boot and inspect.
