The cruise control switch will not engage or set when pushing set button, but the green cruise light is on on the dash.

Locate and check the fuse, check clutch switch, che k vacuum hoses, and vehicle speed sensor and throttle linkage. Hope that helps.

have you got a bad antilock brake sender maybe a code scan at autozone then google what codes you find include our car in search term and code

Try checking the small switch at the top of the brake pedal. There may be two one for brake lights and one for the cruise control. To ascertain what is what, pull one wire off and see if brake lights work. If not, then the other switch controls the cruise control disconnect and engage..I you have a DC test light check to see if power is on on both side of the switch with brake pedal up. If so, depress pedal and check power on the other side there should be none, if there is the switch is defective.

Just to be sure... (since i just did this today). Steering wheel CC would turn on, but didn't actually work and nothing on the dash indicated. I replaced the brake switch like all sites tell us to do first. Ran the truck over 25mph and hit the CC button. Nothing on the dash, darn... but... when i hit the set button CC worked and dash indicator came on. Moral to this story is the dash light does not illuminate until the Set button is engaged! Maybe a duh moment, but i was disappointed there for a minute.

I have a 2001 lincoln an when i try to set the cruise the light will flash but it will not set ?

Should be a operater manual with car, if not, the left side of steering wheel is a small handle. On the end is a button. In the middle is a "resume" switch that is pussed with your thumb. While driving push the end button, the car should engage and power without your foot on the peddle. To go faster push the middle switch with your thumb toward steering wheel and that will increase the speed. When you put on the brake the cruise control should dis-engage. Need to practice with this on a safe road. You may need to go at least 40mph for it to operate. When the cruise is engaged a dash light should come on saying "cruise" - Good luck

Check the speed control deactivation switch on the master cylinder. disconnect and use a jumper wire to connect the wires together. If the cruise works it's the switch.

most likely the clock spring is not the problem because when u push the button the dash light cruise comes on.wich means that you do not have an open circuit.with a light tester check to see if you are getting power to the cruise control servo.if you are then replace it.if no power you will need a new cruise control stick on the steering column.

You may have a faulty brake lamp switch at the brake pedal. If the brake lights come on (via a bad switch), the cruise will cut off.
