Usually the turn signal lever...real skinny wires get pinched and stop working

Re: Cruise control

The wire is somewhere b/w the lever and the steering column?

Re: Cruise control

Look on your turn signal lever you will see wires coming out from it facing the gauges usually one of those 4 wires is broke even though it might not be ripped it is not working at all
