Light does not come on when pressing the cruise button. I have replaced the switch, have tested all of the fuses with a test light. All are working just fine.

I have read this can be tied to a brake switch, but my brake aillights are all working just fine.

I recently purchased this car, it runs great, so I am not sure about the history of when this started. The previous owner didn't know either.

Got the vehicle for a steal so these "minor" issues didn't feel like a big enough deal to not bite.

I have seen the spiral wire go out causing this issue but there are many components like the distance ECU and the lazar radar sensor that could be bad. Let's do a CAN scan which will go over the system to let us know what's going on. If no codes come up, I would do the spiral wire. You can get a CAN scanner (Controller Area Network) from Amazon. here is a video to show you how. There are 11 fuses that run the system so please double check them with the key on.

Here is how to replace the spiral wire in case you need it and I have included the cruise control wiring diagrams and component locations as well. Please check the images below and let us know what happens.

No codes came up on a scan. I was able to get my hands on a clock spring (spiral wire) and replacing that did resolve my issue! Thanks for all of your help! Cruise control is working!
