Anything else not working? Fuses check out OK?

 

I didn't check the fuses yet because I'm not sure where they are and I have not had time to look for them. Before posting this thread I did a search on here using my phone, and it came up with zero results. Yesterday, I used my computer and found a bunch of threads with the same issue. After reading a few, I decided to order a new switch through autozone. This way if that doesn't fix the problem, I can return it.

 

I think it's the switch.

 

No I think your cruise control is fine. Cruise does not engage just by pushing the button. It only activates it.

As soon as you push the button and the 'Cruise' light illuminates, just pull the stalk down to engage it. You will see the car will start holding the speed.

If you hold the stalk down, the speed will start reducing and when you hold the stalk up, the speed will start going up.

 

As reported above, make sure you push down on the stalk to engage after hitting the button. If you already did that, check your brake bulbs and brake fluid.

 

I know how to engage the cruise. I did check the brake lights which are fine. I didn't check the brake fluid though. I have the new switch but I'm in the process of moving. I'll have more time to mess with it next week.

 

I put in the new switch and it didn't make a difference. The "cruise" light still activates but setting the cruise does not work by pulling the stalk down. The new switch was missing the ground wire so I attached a new ground wire. It still didn't make a difference.
I'll check the fuses next, but where are the fuses inside the car? Only under the dash?

Also, on the matrix, how do I remove the plastic area under the shifter? And where is the brake boost line located?

 

Brake booster should be on the left side of the master cylinder and it plugs into the right hand lower side of the intake manifold for its vacuum source.

 

Did you check the brake fluid level?

 

Brake fluid is near the max level. Brake lights work fine. Fuses are good. The previous owner installed a short ram intake; could he have messed up something with the cruise control while installing it? I hope to get this resolved before I take a trip Nashville in a few weeks

 

Check your clutch pedal, adjust the free play

 

When my foot is off the clutch pedal, it is all the way up and pushes the switch in. How should it be adjusted? While searching, I did come across a thread that mentioned pulling up on the clutch pedal with my foot and trying the cruise control. I did this, and it didn't make a difference.

I did order a new clutch cruise control switch which I'll have tomorrow.

 

Is this the clutch cruise control release switch? If so, I thought it would be similar to the brake switch which activates as soon as the pedal is pushed. This appears to activate when the clutch pedal is almost all the way down.

No, that would be the safety switch for the starter.

 

Where is it located then? I'm planning on changing it out this afternoon

 

Should be like the stoplight switch where it's pushed in clutched released...

 

Thanks! Your diagram definitely help. I located the clutch switch and saw that it was not compressed all the way. I may the adjustment on the switch, took it for a drive, and the cruise worked! Hopefully this help others in the future

 

Do you happen to have photos or video of what you did or the parts I'm looking for?
