its setting a code
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.
It is important to know the meaning of flashing lights in a car. When the cruise control set light flashes, it either means the driver hasn't finish setting the control, or that there is an issue with the fuse or wiring.
yes it can be that the oil is frezzing Alternatively, and according to a dealer, when the check engine light comes on it also inactivates the cruise control, resulting in what you are experiencing with both the check engine light being on and the cruise light flashing.
Your speed sensor probably broke and needs to be replaced. If the car can't determine it's speed, then it may automatically disable the cruise control.
Hmmm, never heard of a flashing cruise control light. To answer your question: well, sort of. Could be the same problem causing both symptoms. Auto Zone and other auto parts stores will read your check engine code and let you know what the code means. They don't usually charge anything for this service. According to a dealer, whenever the check engine light comes on it inactivates the cruise control, resulting in both the check engine light being on and the cruise light flashing. Although this is possible, I had a '96 Outback with a nearly constant check engine light that I threw literally thousands of dollars at and never fixed and my current 2000 Forester that lost the head gasket causing a check engine light with several faults and my cruise always worked. Guess it depends on the fault. Go get it checked out. Cheap to find out just what the trouble code is. --Ken
If the horn or cruise control is INOP. Replace the clock spring (under the steering wheel).
That light is for the Cruise control saying something is wrong with it. Mine came on when i broke the switch to the cruise control. so try replaceing the cruise control.
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.
Basically get the emission code at the repair shop, get it fixed, and reset the code. Some codes in Subaru involve Cruise Control light flashing. In my case, that happened due to a misfire on 3-rd cylinder (replaced the ignition coil), and EVAP system leak (bad fuel pump gasket). In both cases, after the repair has been done, the code was reset, and the cruise control light never blinked after that.
All my fuses and relays work. My horn and cruise control do not work. Also my airbag light is flashing. Could it be the clock spring and if so How do I change it out.
I believe you are referring to the cruise control light. This light means that the cruise control feature has been engaged.
A flashing amber light means approach the lock at a safe speed and under full control.
