Two days ago i went for a drive with the 89 and used the cruise control to see that it was working, and it worked perfect.
When i went to switch it off i pulled the switch to the off position and the lever moved a bit outwards then i pushed it back in. Today i used the vette again but unfortunately the cruise control didn't work. When i arrived home i turned the ignition to the on position and put the switch to the on position and nothing happened. Usually i can hear the cruise control make a click when turned on but this time nothing happened. Did i maybe tear a wire in the lever or could it be a blown fuse of some sort, maybe something made a short in the lever and caused a fuse to blow?? |

This is what I was told to try and it was the vacuum. The sound I had heard prior was the vacuum on the Cruise control. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/84-88- ... uckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories Good luck Steve |

There is this little set of wires behind the turn signal... make sure those wires aren't messed up.
Also, as Steve said, check vacuum, but your issue sounds more at the stalk. |

To tell you the truth yesterday i was repairing the chmsl and was checking the brake switch under the dash. By accident i did pop the vacuum pipe from the cruise con. switch but i put it back on. But i will recheck everything down there. |

the vacuum lines turn to crap after a while, too. You may need to run new hose at some point.

No not yet, i checked the fuses and their all good, My suspect is the the on/off switch on the lever becuase when i turned it Off last time it worked it came out a bit and since then everytime i turn it on i dont hear the click that the solenoids make, but to tell you the truth i have no idea how i can test the switch on the steering column lever. |

You're right, that's not on the cheap side, but not as prohibitively expensive as some other things (still saving for the fuel sender unit).
I've got the same problem so when I look at that switch it occurs to me to ask, isn't that same switch used in other GM vehicles? Could then be removed from another vehicle in a picknpull thereby also learning how it comes apart for future installation? |

Is your wiper swtich in the door? Fron the picture of the other switich I wonder how many wires are in that conector?
As suggested there may be other swtiches from this company that list your models use in other vehicles. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1982-9 ... CRUISE-CHROME-NEW-3-WIRE- _W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem4cf38146eaQQitemZ330502850282QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories THIS IS A BRAND NEW NON-OEM EXACT REPLACEMENT TURN SIGNAL SWITCH WITH WIPER DELAY AND CRUISE CONTROL. IT HAS A CHROME HOUSING. IT SHOULD FIT THE MAJORITY OF ALL GENERAL MOTORS VEHICLES MADE FROM THE EARLY 1980'S TO THE EARLY 1990'S EQUIPPED WITH CRUISE CONTROL. IT IS A 3 WIRE WITH A BLADE TYPE CONNECTOR. IF YOUR VEHICLE HAS 4 WIRES COMING OUT OF THE SWITCH AND HAS A SMALL SQUARE PLUG THEN IT IS A LATER MODEL SWITCH WITH CRUISE CONTROL AND WE HAVE THOSE AS WELL LISTED IN A SEPERATE AUCTION. THIS IS THE BEST DEAL OUT THERE FOR THIS ITEM AND ONCE WE SELL OUT THEY WILL BE GONE FOREVER AT THIS PRICE!!! DO NOT SNOOZE ON THIS ONE. THE ORIGINAL GM PART # IS 25111260 Steve |
