Coverage and how to read this overview
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.

it worked once before then went to ****************..
Ok.. the cruise control does not work in my car.. my question is that lights up on my cluster when it's engaged but nothing happens other then that. Where do i begin to figure out the problem
The system has a pedal switch sensor. I think the one for the cruise is on the clutch. It has an adjustable plunger, if it's shot it's a cheap part to replace and an easy home fix..
It's worth the investment to buy a service manual, the Bentley book is a good one and should pay for itself if you plan on being involved with your own repairs. Having said that, the switch is quite easy to see on your back with your head under the pedals. As I said before, the plunger has what appears to be a ratcheting adjustment to fine tune actuation, if you're truly mechanical you might be able to restore operation of the current switch. If not, you can order one from a variety of sources, study the new part and glean what you can about how it's mounted and replaced, then carefully swap the two pieces, it should be fairly simple, good luck..
clb0099,
Just to be clear, you need to push the cruise button in to enable cruise control, then push the stock forward towards the front of the car to activate cruise control at your current speed. If this is what you did and it still does not work, then follow the other members advice.
i said screw it i am replacing both switches clutch as well as brake.. i spoke to a guy at jack daniels motors porsche told me it can only be three things. it's either one of the switches or the cruise stalk .. so i am going to start off small and work my way up..lol
