Mine had a broken wire in the on/off circuit in the multifunction switch. This means there is no power to the cruise control circuts. Replaced the switch for about $120 plus my time (about 2 hours).

Not to Hijack the thread, but mine shows the "cruise set XX MPH" for a second or two and then goes to "Cruise Disengaged". Some times (Randomly) when I push the activation button, nothing happens as well?

System sensors were checked using a Tech II and all seem OK, they are leaning towards a computer issue? Which one?
