2008 xB Cannot turn on Cruise Control
Hello!
I've been scouring the web and have tried everything I've found thus far.
Background: my cruise control had slowly but surely stopped turning on. No dash light, nothing. It started happening intermittently, and slowly happened more and more often. When it did turn on, I had no issue using it.
About my car: Purchased at 230k miles, so who knows what's happened during it's life. After market stereo and speakers, two amps installed in trunk.
What I've tried:
Checked all fuses.
Replaced the cruise control switch itself and Inter steering wheel wiring.
Possibilities Google turned up:
Clock Spring
Speed sensor on transmission
Other possible symptoms:
Has a bit of a rough idle in drive and reverse only. Drops below 500 RPM. Cleaned throttle body and MAS fixed it for awhile. Unplugging ground seems to delay the issue awhile.
Any ideas? Thanks !
