I am desperate for help with my cruise control. My cruise light does not come on and cruise is not working.
I ran the on board cruise diagnostic and it came up with code 3. "deactivator switch failed or bad circuit.
I tested the switch and it is open. Knowing the switch should be closed when the brake is not depressed, I installed a jumper wire and ran the diagnostic again. Still coming up with code 3
I began to test the 2 connector wires. One has power and the other one has nothing and using my ohm meter found no continuity to ground and anything else.
I am at a complete loss as to where to go from here.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Can you tell us the color of that wire that goes nowhere ?

 

Thank you for repointing.
red/green stripe is the wire going nowhere?
the green/red is hot.

 

All brake lights are working. Horn is working.
no abs or srs light on and no codes in the ecm.
usually I can figure this stuff out?
struggling with this one

 

Traced red/green wire to the cruise actuator under the hood.
I replaced the cruise actuator electronic box witch sits over the cruise servo motor and solved my problem.
cruise is now working perfectly.
hope this helps someone someday.

 

Thanks for the update.
