July 8, 20169 yr 116k miles just replaced head gaskets, i bought the car for $350 it looks great. i noticed the cruze does not work, i assume it was like that before i bought her. What are common problems and fixes i could start looking onto ? Thanks
July 8, 20169 yr Does the button light up when pressed? If so, I'd check underhand to make sure the vacuum line from the intake to the cruise unit is hooked up. If it's a manual transmission car, the pedal stopper on the clutch pedal could be broken making the system think you have the clutch pushed in.

There will be a switch somewhere such that the cruise control disengages when the brake pedal is pushed. The switch may be mis-adjusted or broken. Check these type of things first as they are easier than digging into the guts of the system.
July 9, 20169 yr Sorry, the vacuum canister is under hood, next to the right strut tower. It should have a small vacuum line running to it.

July 10, 20169 yr I have the same problem. So I will follow this. I can hear my "box" set when using the set lever, So I think the brake switch is ok on mine. But it will not control speed. Can I pull vac on the actuator with a brake bleeding kit and should the cable move? Do not mean to hijack, just the same issue here.
