Hey.....dumb question ( as i have a 91),, is your cruise setting engage etc., etc., on the turn signal stalk?

if it is.....get the new stalk ( chrysler has 'em for $75.00).

and don't try to remove the steering wheel and colum to re-feed the cable from the stalk down to the cruise connector fusable link, just cut the old one, pull the stalk out ( i think you have to push the stalk in, that is towards the column, and turn the stalk and it should come right out)

then when you put new one back in, I used duct tape (black) and taped the cable up to the column and ran through the dash under the coulmn and connected it back to connector, it has ben fine since.

if you pm me, I can send you pics of what I did.

cheers!

THanks mate, will look into that. How dumb is this newbie? I did not get a user manual and took a few days to work out that the transmission light was to tell me where the switch was

any ideas as to whats wrong with it? do you think it's a wiring problem or a fuse or something of that nature?
Check for a severed wire where it chafes on the plastic housing of the steering column. I just found the problem myself, but I don't know how to replace it. I have spent a long time with the column apart and staring at the indicator switch as it goes into the wiper control module.

Just purchased a 99 Cherokee Sport- Cruise switch goes on but will not engage. This thread talks of the vacuum line as a possible issue. Where is it located?

Mine had a capping hole up by the battery where it had been rubbing. Patched that up and viola cruise works and I have more than just defrost!
