Generally cruise will turn itself off when the car is turned off, but it is always good to be sure, I always turn it off when I am not using it.
It may be a safety feature on your car. If you are going to make a turn you for sure do not want the cruise to be engaged.
my cruise control light will blink on an off and the care will move.when it is not blinking the truck will not move, why is that
If the car is equipped with cruise control the on/off switch in mounted to the steering wheel, left side of the horn
1) turn on cruise control (a light should turn on somewhere) 2) increase or decrease speed to desired mph 3) press button or apparatus to set or reset cruise 4) take foot off gas peddel and the car should maintain steady speed. I've had 2 VW's and the cruise didn't work in either one....perhaps your cruise just doesn't work.
To the left of the steering wheel, below the dashboard is a button that says cruise control. Push that button in, the dash will illuminate the cruise control light. Then, as you reach the speed you want to cruise at, push the button on the steering wheel that says "set". When you want to turn cruise control off, simply tap the brake pedal and the cruise will go off.
your on off switch may be bad, get it checked.
I have a Ford Taurus 92, and my cruise control is right on the steering wheel. There is an "on and off" switch on the wheel, and you click the on, and a cruise control button should be under those. (be sure to click "on" before you click the c.c.)
If the cruise control on your 1987 300ZX does not work, you might have an issue with the cruise control fuse or wiring. You could also have a problem with the switch that turns the cruise control on and off.
This sounds like a direct short my 2001 frontier does that too, i was told it was an electrical malfunction.
There is no isolated fuse for the cruise control. It all runs off the 20A gauges fuse. If you are having trouble with the cruise control I would check the Cruise Control Module or the Cruise control Servo. What symptom is occurring?
On most vehicle the brake switch is one way to shut the cruise off.
The cruise control switch should be on the turn signal control arm. There is a three position switch; off, on and resume are the three positions; "off" to your left, "resume" to the right and "on" in the center when you are sitting in the drivers seat looking at the switch. The switch needs to be in the on position and when you reach the speed you wish to "cruise" push and briefly hold in the button on the end of the turn signal control arm; the "set" button. This should engage the cruise control, to accelerate you can push the three position switch to the resume position until you have reached the speed you want to change to and to decelerate you can push the set button. Do not relase the resume switch to quickly, it is a spring loaded position, a momentary switch, and the spring may have enough strength to push the switch past the on position to the off position if released quickly. The resume can be used to return to a set speed after braking or clutching as touching the brakes or the clutch if a manual transmission model will disengage the cruise control. Hope this helps.
