Default 2005 C6 Cruise control indicator off

Hello everyone,
Hope someone can help me. My cruise control indicator on the dash does not come on. The cruise control engages and works fine. I get the display on the DIC indicating speed. If someone had the same problem , can you give me an idea where to start? I thought about the fuse, but don't want to start fiddling with it, if it'll not solve the problem.

Thanks ,

What "cruise control indicator on the dash" are you referring to? (Hint: There isn't one.)

There was one that showed on the dash and also in Hud. It looked like a small gear. Mine went also. I havent taken it in yet, figured it would cost more than what it is worth. Also mine was a 05.

Yes there's one. The indicator would come on to identify you were in cruise control. You also see the wording on the DIC, but I do remember it on the instrument panel right above the fog lights indicator. Like you said, looks like a small gear. My cruise control works, but no indicator light. It also mentions it on the manual with a picture. I was wondering if others had the same problem and what corrects it.

Thanks,

My '05 definitely does not have it. I don't even see the trace of the icon in the instrument cluster.

Same here. I checked it this morning in the dark on the way to work. Cruise works and shows on the DIC but no gear.

Then maybe I'm 'losing it'. I thought I had seen it on the instrument panel, but maybe I confused it with the one on my EXT. Perhaps the manual is wrong. Any other 05 owners that can clarify? It just bugs me cause I recall seeing it.
