Cruise control issues
Odd and can't track it down. Cruise control quit working so figured a fuse. All checked out ok. Weird thing is when I press the button to turn on cruise control the dash light comes on for a split second and then goes off. Every time I push it the light comes on briefly then goes out. Never actually works though.
Am I looking at a new clock spring? Anyone had similar scenario?
Thanks in advance.

Try this:
- Enter self-test diagnostics by firmly pressing and holding the speed control OFF switch while quickly cycling the ignition switch from RUN-to-OFF-to-RUN, making sure the engine does not start and is not running. The speed control indicator lamp on the instrument panel will flash once to indicate that the speed control module has entered the diagnostic mode. Release the OFF switch. If 5 additional flashes are displayed at this point, a speed control subsystem concern exists. GO to Symptom Chart
- NOTE: The module times out if each button is not pressed within one second of the previous button. If a module time out occurs (speed control lamp stops flashing part way through test), the procedure must be re-initiated.
Firmly press and release the remaining switches within one second of each other in the following sequence:- ON
- RSM (resume)
- CST (coast)
- SET/ACCEL
- The speed control indicator lamp flashes once after each of the first 4 buttons is successfully pressed. Firmly press and release each switch in the sequence immediately after the light goes out for the previous switch.
- NOTE: There will be a slight delay from when the last button is pressed and the lamp flashes diagnostic codes. If the self-test will not start or cannot be completed after multiple attempts, GO to Symptom Chart.
Follow the list below for diagnostic flash codes, then GO to Symptom Chart.- 0 flashes: No flash after the last button pressed: suspect circuitry or speed control switch.
- 1 flash: Static test passed.
- 2 flashes: The stop lamp switch is damaged, circuit is damaged, or brake pedal is applied.
- 3 flashes: The speed control deactivator switch is open or the circuit is damaged.
- 4 flashes: The vehicle speed signal is out of range or circuit is damaged.
- 5 flashes: Speed control actuator internal failure
