Re: Cruise control quit working

When mine was going I had to replace the diaphram unit under the hood by the battery. Is it not working at all or is it just not holding a constant speed setting.

Re: Cruise control quit working

on a camaro the Diaphram is opposite the battery on the driver side of the engine bay, and if it wont hold a constant speed u got a vacuum leak, if not at all probably the diaphram.

Re: Cruise control quit working

Ok that's what I though you where talking about. Can that just go bad with no symptoms?
