So I'm dealing with a car that had the cruise deleted. Here is what I have done/found so far.

1: I put a cruise control unit in it... nothing, little orange light comes on on stick that was it...

2: Twotalons suggested checking that the clutch switch was being engaged...checked this to reveal it had been removed completely along with the brake pedal being switched out for a 2 prong unit... so I replaced them both... (with used parts) still nothing.... little orange light thats it....

3: I replaced the multifunction switch assembly, no change... still no cruise...

Probably going to take the drive to down and buy a unit from TwoTalons but any suggestions would be appreciated....

Thanks,
-Travis

Pretty simple, but have you checked the related fuses? You should have a cruise light come on on the dash, the orange on the stalk is just paint.

Well I have in general looked over my fuses but I can't find anything specified toward cruise and I don't have an owners manual

Another thing might be the vacuum line going to the control unit on the firewall.

check all connections, if i hit a bump some times mine will quit working for a bit and then come back on

found the problem, turns out the guy that eliminated the cruise originally took out everything, the brain box under the dash was removed.
