Grand Voyager Cruise Control problem

[Dave]

Hi all.

My '97 Grand Voyager LE (3.3 V6 UK Spec) seems to have a problem with the
cruise control. If I hit the power button to enable it (at any speed) the
green CRUISE light illuminates on the dash for a second or so, then goes out
and will not engage again until the engine is turned off then back on.
Obviously, the cruise conrol itself isn't working either.

Any ideas?

needs brake switch

Brake switch? Why?

I agree.that maybe it...check to make sure the brake lights are also
working. But the brake switch going bad or out of adjustment, may cause
this condition

and also the clock spring. a very good possiblity.
Is anything else not working...Horn,Check engine light on,Air bag light
staying on???
Check local dealership because there is an open recall on some mini vans
for a defective clocksprings,which cause these conditions.

I see - Brake lights are fine, horn fine, no lights staying on longer than
usual after initial startup. Everything else is working perfectly, just not
the Cruise Control.

I'll give my local dealer a call, see if my '97 is one of the problem ones.
I doubt it, since it's lasted over 100,000 miles without a problem, but you
never know!

Thanks to all for suggestions.
