Awhile back my Cruise control stopped working on a trip back home. Didn't work since Dec 6.. Steering wheel light was on anytime I tried it but would not engage.. Today 43 deg. for the heck of it I tried it and it worked! Been in the teens or lower most of the time since Dec. Could something have been frozen /stuck that made it not work? Or more likely a loose connection that our craters/pot holes knocked back in place? Any spot I should look at to check connections?Looked in search so far nothing Thanks

 

If "steering wheel light was on" - there's your answer. Cruise is disabled for most error conditions, as well as brake lights must not have burnt out bulbs.

 

I think he meant the "on" light.

I am betting you have a tiny vac leak somewhere that causes a "stealth" code when it's cold. Some of them require consecutive starts to actually light up the CEL.

 

could be anything from the pedal switch to loose wire connector to loose hood closed switch!! Did the remote start work??

 

Oh the "Cruise on" was lit - right. I thought he meant power steering warning.

 

Thanks for the replies.. What I meant about the light was if you push the cruise button on the steering wheel it would stay lit like normal , But no Cruise engaged on the DIC , I checked all the rear lights and all were working , Sorry I am bad at explain things
