lately my cruise control stopped working
it's done this before, it'll work every now and then and then stop working sometimes
i've tried messing with the switch and the button but nothing works
any ideas as to whats wrong with it? do you think it's a wiring problem or a fuse or something of that nature?

May be a leaking vacuum line. Look at those while you are under the hood.

i know for a fact that my exhaust manifold is cracked, as far as vacuum lines go i think they're all ok but i'm not 100% positive.

BlueXJ

Just think it would be worth looking at. Many will look great but be cracked right where they slip over the little pipe that sticks out of the unit they feed. Just think Jessy needs her cruise.

i will check it out later today maybe
i've discovered that without a cruise control i have quite a lead foot :/

Better get it fixed quick or you will be donating to some cops retirement fund.

Yeah and get that speedo gear replaced when ya have a lift..uhg I got a $200 ticket for speeding..I get side tracked and forget my speedometer is off a touch so got a ticket for doing 80 in a 70...

4jeepchick4

a lift affects the speedo reading? i thought it was just the tire size lol well shows how much i know...

BlueXJ

Well it really is the tire diameter. But a lift means new larger tires so one plays into the other. Put stock tires back on at any height and your unaltered speedo returns to reading correctly again.

Doh thanks for clearing that up blue..I always just assume lift means larger tires too and forget to mention that..

BlueXJ

Math, Geometry, and Physics. Just high school skills!

i think my tires are still the same size anyways, my lift isn't too much higher lol

BlueXJ

Just read the numbers on the side of your tires. That number set will confirm or deny the OEM size for you.

so this week my cruise control decided to start working again
i have no idea what's up with it but hey, as long as it works i am happy

Complete Newbie here, to jeep and the forum. Ridden a big honda road bike and driven Aussie ford for years. Just bough a 94 cherokee limited and I find that the cruise control will not stay on. If I hold the button in it works, but as soon as I release the button, it stops working? Any guides for me out there. BTW 64 YO Aussie Navy Vietnam Vet here.
