Same Problem, Cruise and blower.

I have a 2002 Regal LS. My cruise light comes on when in off position, usually when starting engine. Cruise will not work when the light is on. Light goes off by itself or when blower fan is turned off or on, sometimes. The cruise works again when the errant light is off. Blower does not come on sometimes. When driving, it comes on, sometimes when I hit a bump or when I am going over 45 mph. Once it is on, it stays on until it is shut off. When turned back on it will work sometimes. One time I tapped under the dash on the passenger side when engine idling and it started blowing. Fuses OK. I checked inside the cabin filter compartment, blower wheel area, to see if it was wet and it was dry as a bone. Cruise and blower trouble started at the same time, August 2009.

    Maybe not related, but not solved either.

    Found out problem is fan blower. When the blower does not turn it causes the cruise light to come on. I whacked the dash under the blower motor location, blower started and the cruise light went out. A couple of more whacks and the blower turned faster. It acts like it might be the bearing in the fan wheel. It reoccurs from time to time. A whack starts the blower motor. Running the fan motor at different speeds and often seems to help. I suppose changing the fan/blower wheel would be the final solution.

2002 buick Regal AC/Heater fan switch works intermittentlly

I recently tried the DIY service and repair manuals from a website and it actually helped me repair transmission problem in my jcb 3cx site-master. It would'nt move forward or reverse, engine was good both solenoids for forward and reverse worked, but still couldn't diagnose the problem.
I don't have much technical knowledge but I just followed it step-wise, and now it works perfect! covers diagrams, torque specs, PCV, everything
got it from www.reliable-store.com

2003 Lincoln ls v-8 cruise control won't engage. Light won't come on or anything when I hit the button. Everything else work fine.

My 2001 Lincoln ls cruise control will not work. Put in a new clockspring and that did not fix it. radio controls and horn work but the air bag light stays on continually after starting. The lights on the cruise side will go on an off -I have bought that part to replace but don't want to put on if that is not the problem.

Climate control system has been working on and off for the past few months. It used to always work when the ignition was in the "on position." But when you start the car, it didn't work. Now...

All signs are pointing to the electrical portion of the ignition switch AND / OR the wiring connection.

The electric switch is located directly behind the key switch (under the steering wheel).


I recommend you to remove the battery cable first to prevent accidental air bag deployment.


Inspect the connector for damage or wire(s) got pull out of the socket,

My automatic headlights are still working but I have the same issue with the cruise and the entire HVAC panel. Does your rear defrost still work? Mine is dead as is everything else on the HVAC panel.

My 2001 Buick Regal LS air and cruise stoped working

You have two on related problems , just a coincidence they stoped at the same time . The cable inside the cruise control module is probably broken , this cable is connected to the cable that opens the throttle . I'll post a video to show you what i'm talking about !
No Cruise Control Buick LeSabre You can buy this part for $10 to $20 buck ! Change it out in 10 min.
Now your other problem is the Blower motor isn't blowing air out of the vents ? The way you describe it working then on high only an now not at all this could be the motor . Unless the motor was bad enough to take out the blower motor resistor an the high speed relay as well.
Testing would need to be done to find the problem !
Blower Motor Problems Auto Repair Help
If you are willing to test the blower motor and electrical circuit you can find free wiring diagrams here http://www.bbbind.com/free_tsb.html Enter vehicle info. year , make , model and engine size . Under system click on HVAC , then under subsystem HVAC controls will pop up . Click the search button ,then the second blue link . Unless your's has automatic ,then it will have blower motor control processor .
