Cruise Control not working...
Hello, I have an '05 Supercharged SS with less than 40,000 miles and the cruise control just stopped working. It worked fine last week. The fuse was good but the green light on the button that comes on when engaged, does not light up now. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Thanks for replying
Is there anyway to diagnose/troubleshoot the problem, so that I don't waste a bunch of money and time? I'm pretty good with auto electrical stuff but with all the computer stuff on these cars, it has me a bit confused.

Another piece of info I just thought of... I put a new stereo in a couple months ago and did not retain the steering wheel controls for the audio. Still, the cruise control worked just fine. Now though, if the cruise control button does not work, maybe all the steering wheel controls do not work? Hope that helps...

did the cruise stop working immediately after the new radio was put in? because if so i would have to say that something wasnt hooked back up, or a wire got disconnected that would control the cruise, or maybe something shorted the cruise out...im not sure if there's a way to trouble shoot it. i looked in my book and there wasn't anything in there regarding troubleshooting cruise control issues.

I have the solution! Well at least it was for me lol Look under the driver side dash and follow the brake pedal up until you see those 2 switches that are screwed in and up against the pedal on the other side. The bottom one with the 2 connectors is what allows you to shift out of park whenever the pedal is pressed, it's also what makes your brake lights come on. The top one is for the cruise control and it's what disengages it when the pedal is pressed. It took me forever to figure this out! I checked all the wiring, fuses and even went as far as replacing the cruise control module in the engine bay. Then I realized that the brake pedal comes into play with cruise control and how it disengages it so I checked under the dash and found the 2 switches! Haha went to the junk yard and removed both of them from a donor monte, replaced the top one first, went for a drive and just like that my CC was working once again!
Maybe yours just needs the switch replaced as well
