Best Answer

This is probly because your brake pedal is going down for enuf to turn on your brake lights, deactivating your cruise.You can try adjusting you brake pedal adjustment, which is located under the dash. But unless you do this properly, you might end up with an ABS system not working, or your brakes having slight pressure, even thou you arent pressing on the brake pedal. The end result is that you can burn your brakes out. You can take it to a dealer, and have them properly adjust it.

When and why would you use cruise control?

Primarily during long stretches of driving when not in stop-and-go traffic. As for why, there's a number of reasons.Maintaining a consistent speedFuel efficiency (yes, the cruise is more efficient)Keeping your speed under control. This is a big one for me, as I tend to have a heavy right foot. Especially when I was running 18 wheelers over-the-road.Takes pressure off your ankle and joints in your foot.More power. Some heavy duty commercial vehicles have engines which have two horsepower ratings - the higher horsepower rating typically goes into effect with the cruise control engaged. This encourages drivers to use the cruise control, allowing the vehicle to run more efficiently.

Nissan Xterra has a button on lower left of steering wheel to Power OnOff for cruise control but cruise control will not engage nor will the light on the dash come on. Is there a fuse or simple fix?

I found a great mechanic in the area and within 2 hrs and 70.00 dollars later he found there is a screw in switch up and behind the brake pedal with a "plunger type of mechanism" which over time the cruise control cut-off switch managed to "unscrew itself" which caused the cruise control not to engage. He has my business.
