I relocated the vacuum ball thing after trimming my front fenders but now my cruise control doesn't work what happened? Is there a way to check this system or no?

Where did you re-locate it to? try putting it back in the same spot or close to it and see if it works. i highly doubt its the place u mounted it though. mine stopped working after i had re-located mine and found out it was the button on the steering wheel. had to go to the dealership and buy a new one for like 30 bucks and it worked. was having bad connections

Cruise control should work as long as the vacuum lines are hooked to the canister correctly. It should not make a difference where you relocated the cannister. Check the cannister with a vacuum gauge to make sure that it is receiving and holding vacuum. I am sure this will be an easy fix!

i dont know if there is a fuse somewhere, most likely but u can buy the switch at the dealer. it comes off of the steering wheel with one screw holding it on.
