    Hi Everyone. I received tremendous help here before and hoping for a
    repeat.

    My deal is that the cruise control will no longer engage. It stopped
    working just about a year ago, but now with a new job/commute I wish
    I
    had it back. Page 319 of the manual shows the only reference to a
    fuse related to cruise control, and it is not burned out. It's 6th
    from the bottom on the Driver's side interior fuse box. It's a 15A
    fuse called "ECU (ECM/PCM), Cruise Control" and is definitely not
    burned out and is making good contact.

    The main Cruise Control push button to the left of the steering wheel
    (next to sun roof control) does still click in and light up green
    (not
    the dash light, just the button) but the cruise buttons on the
    steering wheel will not set a speed.

    For the record, I am not too mechanically inclined and not looking to
    drop more than a few bucks to fix. It would be nice to have back but
    I can live without cruise, especially in this economy.

    At the moment the engine is throwing a "P0420" OBDII code for the
    catalytic converter, but that just started and can't see how it's
    related since the cruise failed last year. Any other fuses I need to
    check? Looking for advice as to what to do next. Thanks all!

  2. the only way to make sure it's definitely good is to check it for
    continuity.
