Subject: I just went through the same issue. You need a new cruise control module. Author: DavidC (moderator) : member since December, 2003 : 11909 posts Posted on: 2007-03-12 19:25:35

It's located on the driver's-side of the engine bay, between the power steering reservoir and the oil filter. I picked up a used one from a salvage company for $25. It's a 10-minute swap-out.
