Default Cruise kicking off..

2004 Coupe completely stock - what would cause the cruise control in this 2004 Coupe to kick off going down the highway? It has done it several times.

the things that come to mind are the brake pedal and clutch pedal switches. They are both adjustable I think, but turning them. One might be adjusted too sensitively, and the highway vibration is causing them to set.

Default Cruise Control Kicking Off

My O1 Automatice is doing the same thing - -- I made a trip from Houston, to Dallas and back Sunday and Monday - - - It kicked off 3 or 4 times - - I noticed it doing it more when I would crest a hill and it would kick off just as I would pass the crest going downhill. Where is the switch located ? Is it an easy fix to check the switch for tolerance?

Yes, Mine does the same thing. Mine is in the brake pedal, even though I have a MN6. It kicks off when I hit a bump once in a while. I have to stick my left foot under the pedal and pull it up. Then it will set again.

I haven't gotten under ther to see how to adjust it yet.

Can someone give us an idea what to look for to adjust?

TIA

Rich
