Cruise Control Sign In

The cruise control on my 2000 dodge neon doesn't work. Everything else electrical works on the vehicle so I checked both fuse panels for a dedicated fuse for the cruise control system, and didn't find any. A friend told me that the cruise control fuse is #11 on the interior dash panel. So i checked that fuse and it's fine. Anybody have any ideas on what could be wrong?

Thanks,

Jim

Re: Cruise Control Sign In

By the off chance, does you horn work and maybe the airbag light is on?
Is the speedometer working normally?

The horn, and spedo work fine, no airbag light on, so I don't think it's a clockspring problem? I was thinking it might be a problem with the switch because even if i just turn it on I don't get the 'Cruise' indicator light to come on in the dash, but I'm not sure how to test it. I took a look at the cable between the servo and the throttle body and it appears fine to me. Is there a way I can test the switch?

You can test the switch but you need to be able to follow the wiring diagram.
You will see that the way the switch works is that it supplies ground signals to the PCM with varying amounts of resistance for different modes.
Make sure you have a good ground coming into the switch on the black with tan wire.
