Okay so i bought my 06 ss/sc two days ago. The first day it worked fine and i new how to use it and everything. now last night and today i have been trying to get it to work and no luck.

the little orange light comes on and everything but the cruise isnt engaging i tried restarting the battery and i dont know if im missing anything small or stupid im just hoping someone else had the same problem and its an easy fix.

let me know what u guys think thanks.

 

As far as I know there are 2 possible solutions...

1) Disconnect the battery for awhile

or

2) your sensors screwed you need a new one

 

Check your brake lights.
Sometimes if there is one out the cruise will not work.

 

It's weird tho i mean it was working just fine like 2 days ago and now it just isnt working, but ill check on all that thanks guys.

 

My CC works on and off. Worked all day today but wed it didnt work at all for the day.

 

Thats rele weird i wonder if there is anything we can do to fix that. I just commute alot and thats one thing i rely on haha its a pain in the butt without it.

 

Might have to take the switch off and see if anythings up with it.

 

Do the battery trick first. A ton of times the cruise control part of the computers just ends up shitting the bed and glitching out. The battery disconnect resets it.

 

I've has my car for 27 months now and never used it. Maybe I should try it to see if it works. Hope you find the problem with yours.

 

Is it a stick? If so if you ride with your foot on the clutch that is your problem. There are a few post on here about it. Apparently the smallest amount of pressure on the clutch pedal will activate a switch and will not let the cruise engage. Unplugging the battery will clear it up if that is what it is.

 

Mine stopped working then the clutch went out a few months later. When i put a new clutch in everything was fine.

 

I have a 2006 ss and my cruise control stopped working as well its more than likely the switch mine hads to be replaced. I was still able to use the volume controls that are connected to the same switch but the cruise control button showed a open circuit and needed to be replaced I would just try replacing the switch.

 

Cruise control problems usually come from the following:

1. Excessive clutch switch signal. If you ride the clutch or if you push the clutch in a certain amount of times (I think 10 times) without changing gears then an "invisible" DTC will be set which disables the cruise control. This can be cleared by disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes.

2. The clutch switch is malfunctioning.

3. The brake light switch is malfunctioning.

4. I have also heard that if you have a brake light out, especially the the third brake light, that it can cause the cruise control to disengage when it is set.

 

Thanks for all the help guys im gonna try the battery thing because all my brake lights are working and the rest of the buttons on the steering wheel do work as well. Ill let you guys know what happened, thanks again everyone

 

So did it work?

 

haha yeah it did work the battery just needed to be restarted

 

Idk if anyone posted this, but brake And clutch wear can cause the pedals to sag and that can cause the CC to not set. I have to lift the pedal up with my foot when I wanna set it. And I need brakes, ordered em yesterday.
