What causes cruise control to kick off?
One of the symptoms commonly associated with a bad cruise control brake release switch is a cruise control system that cuts off unexpectedly. If the switch has any sort of contact or internal issues, it may cause the cruise control system to cut off unexpectedly when activated, even if the pedal is not stepped on.
Does the throttle position sensor affect cruise control?
If the throttle position sensor and its other sensor partners do their job correctly, your car accelerates, cruises, or coasts smoothly and efficiently, as you expect, while maintaining optimal fuel economy.
Is there a cruise control fuse?
If your cruise control system is electronically controlled, it will have an associated fuse. If there’s an electrical problem, the fuse will fail in order to keep other wiring from getting damaged. Try replacing the fuse. If it solves the problem and the cruise control keeps working, that’s great!
What should I do if my cruise control is not working?
Visually check the wires for any signs of damage. A faulty or damaged wire on your speed sensor means that the speed sensor cannot relay your vehicle’s speed. A power surge can easily blow out the fuse of your cruise control mechanism. The cruise control fuse is normally found in the fuse panel located below the steering wheel.

How do I know if my cruise control actuator is bad?
Check for holes in the vacuum line of your cruise control by starting the engine and opening the car hood. Listen for signs of vacuum leaks. If you hear a sucking sound then the vacuum lines connecting the actuator and the control module is worn out or damaged.
