Chances are you also have a "check engine" light. This is an effort by Subaru to nudge you into getting the problem diagnosed and repaired. I just bought my third Subaru, a 2007 Outback and just discovered this feature."
All of my Subarus have spent more time with the light on than with it off and I find losing the cruise control to be terribly inconvenient. Would be different if the same problems did not keep coming back again and again. Good luck! --Ken
It will if the hill is steep enough
Subaru has been building the Legacy Outback since 1995. Many changes in the control systems have occurred over those years. Newer models do not have a separate cruise control system, it is controlled by the ECM. On those models the cruise control is deactivated when the check engine light is on. If you care to provide more information we may be able to assist.
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
look on the drivers side kick panel
It could be the oxygen sensors, or some other part of the emission control system (you should have a sticker about this on the underside of the hood). However, because the cruise control light is flashing its more likely that it is some sort of electrical issue.
If you're having problems with your cruise control, I would suggest that you check into your Subaru's transmission and engine error codes to see what it's returning if anything. Many times the problem with the cruise can be diagnosed by the vehicle itself. The car will not allow the cruise control to function if it knows about a specific problem, which will be given in the error codes. I don't know what year subaru you have, but look into getting both the engine (check engine light) error codes and the transmission (power light) error codes on your Legacy to see what they're returning. My speed sensor was out on my Subaru. Once I found the problem in the error codes, I swapped it out and my cruise worked just great.
Yes, on a 1999 Subaru Forester, the ribbon wire for cruise control is inside of the steering wheel. The same ribbon also controls the horn.
1. You have a problem with the cruise control. or 2. If your check engine light is also on, get the code read, cancel the light and the cruise indicator light will probably quit flashing and the cruise will start working again.
Cruise control is an accessory.
It is possible to convert a car without cruise control to have cruise control. Many auto parts stores sell kits which will install cruise control in a vehicle.
Sorry I am not sure where the computer is...but just in case you are having the same problem I had with my Liberty/Legacy GT...no cruise control working and the light on constantly...I fixed it by replacing the O2 sensor, even though the dealer wanted to sell me a computer. Good luck. :)
There are several ways to fix the cruise control on your Mercedes-Benz depending on the problem with the cruise control. Make sure the fuse for the cruise control is not blown.
