Leading evidence: 'brake pedal switch' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'brake pedal switch' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Check burned out stop light bulbs' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

if he is any kind of wrench, he could test the switch in 30 seconds.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Two days ago, my cruise control was intermittent, but did finally engage. Yesterday (and today), it didn't engage. The green indicator light on the instrument panel does show green when I push in the cruise control "button".
My mechanic thinks it might be the brake or clutch switch(s) which would have to be replaced. Does this sound reasonable?
Anyone else with a similar problem (and hopefully fixes)?
Check for burned out stop light bulbs. Brake and clutch switches live above your toes mounted in the pedal frames. 1/2 turn to remove them. There is also a microswitch on the clutch that feeds info to the ECU. So 3 total switches to play with.
go buy an Ohm meter from Radio shack or harbor freight.. Can be the cheapest one you can find.
.
First of all climb under the dash. Find the switch on the clutch make sure it doesn't just need adjusted. Make sure when the clutch is activated the switch activates. If you listen really close you will prolly hear a "click" as the switch turns on and off.
Now that we have done that, take the meter and put it across the two contacts of the switch. In one position you should get a full scale reading and in the other position you should get no reading.
Im sorry I don't know if the switch is open or closed if the clutch is up or down.. But either way. if you get a Full Scale read when the clutch is not pressed, you should get no reading when the clutch is pressed or vis versa. All this is done with the ignition off.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
