I generally have no problems with the vehicle, but the Cruise Control does not work. What are the best things to check to determine what is wrong? Any recommendations appreciated very much.

Check your brake lights.

Auto or manual tranny?

 

The vehicle is Automatic. Last time I checked, even after I noticed this problem, the brake lights worked fine. I will post below another suggestion I got which, of course, does not make sense to me (but this may be because I don't know much). Is there any validity to this? (see below)

"First look for the vacuum hose hookup between the belllows and the engine. These hoses tend to split. Also, check the intake manifold to which the hose goes and see if it is open. They carbon up at times. Also make sure your adjustment at the throttle is ok."

If so, what does the adjustment at the throttle mean?

Thanks for any help you can provide. I'm not too worried about the cruise control, but I replaced the power seat switch and had fun, so I thought I would inquire. Thanks again.

Thanks. Checking it out. I wish I had pictures of these parts. Thanks again.

 

Thanks,

Learned a bit about it. Obviously new to anthing like this. When I looked at the bellows and hoses, everything looked fine. Then took my blinders off and realized that a hose was not connected to the bellows. It had some undone and dropped off. Put it back on and it works fine. Thanks for the help.
