Default Cruise Control Problem
Have an inoperative cruise control, 2007 C6. Auto w/ paddle shifter, not Z06. Simply won't engage. Have verified e-brake is off (duh) and fluid level in master cylinder is OK, as noted as a requirement, believe it or not, in owners manual. Any other thoughts?

A friend of mine lost two BCMs thus far in his 2007 C6 A6. Dead cruise control was the symptom of both failures.

First off disconnect the battery ground for 10 minutes or more then reconnect and let the car reboot. This solves many electric gremlins with these cars.

A "mechanic" friend of mine once told me that on some newer cars if the 3rd brake light was not working that the cruise wouldn't either.
He wasn't the most reliable friend (known for BS).
But should be easy enough to check.

Dealer had to replace the BCM in my 06 A6 coupe when the cruise control quit working.

Check to see if the brake lights are on. If the switch is stuck or misadjusted it will keep the cruise from turning on.

That fixed it. Thanks! Better than a dealer trip, to boot. Pun intended. (Why didn't I think of that???)

Remember that you'll need to reset the window indexing.

Close the car door. Raise the window and hold the up switch an extra 3 seconds. Release. Without lowering the window, hold the up switch again for 3 seconds. Release. Done.
