Is the switch in the steering wheel? If so my best WAG would be the clock spring. Nice to see you back, now behave yourself.

Hay GEEtar ... Yes on the steering wheel switch - The clock spring ? That's the wiring pack between the steering wheel and column ? Fractured wires ? What causes this ? Back and forth action of the s wheel over time ? Ez fix ??
Behave ? lol .. I know whose sandbox this is ! Btw - I saw your email some time ago ... It went poof on me !! I would have responded back. BTW - it's good to see your CONVERTER HUB is finally fixed !

From what Ive read some of the clock springs had problems.Our 12 Journey was perfect one day.The nextair bag light on .Typically if clock spring air bag light is on and lots of the wheel accs stop working completley like the cruise.Typically the switch in the wheel is the culprit.The journey at times wont come on.Smack the side of the wheel and it works.Will replace it one day.Oh yeah welcome back.Rocky

I called a two diff dealers to see if there was or ever was a recall. I was told no. But who knows if that is true? I was LIED TO when I had an MAJOR ISSUE with a headlight switch/wiring on a 98 diesel dually some years ago. Kind of serious when you suddenly lose headlights on I-55 in Illinois at midnite ! How big of a deal is it to r and r that clock spring ?

No recalls on it from what I know.Its not bad to do.Just have to discharge the electric r&R the air bag and then wheel.Then the retainer and the clock spring.I did some at work but that was years ago.When mine went cruise was totally nothing.Rocky

Had the dealer do the clock spring in the Journey.I could have done it but wasnt sure that was the problem.Was like 95% sure but not totally since I dont have the scanners and shop now.Cost parts labor and diag was around 500.Wife said she would rather pay than not and still not fixed.I do know my wheel switch for cruise will need replaced one day.Ill do that as its pretty easy and the switch isnt a lot.Rocky

What about a brake pedal switch or a parking brake pedal switch? I have had a vehicle where the switch was too sensitive and a bump in the road would kill the cruise. Had to adjust the switch out a bit, problem solved. DT .. I did consider that but this situation kills the system temporally ... A brake lite deal would allow you to hit the resume button and be on your way.

my wife's concorde cruise would work sporadically, and sometimes just cut out while working. had to tear out the complete dash for an evaporator replacement, found a loose connection at the brake light switch, so that was fixed. it's been two years since that job, and there hasn't been a cruise issue since. so it appears my problem was the brake light switch. you're mileage may vary ....... X ... The brake lite switch ON/near the brake pedal ? Did your issue make you have to restart the car to make the dash lite AND THE SYSTEM ITSELF to operate again ? sometimes yes, and sometimes no. that was the mystery. i tried different steering wheel switches, and other things, but i forget exactly what. ["oldtimers" disease] i couldn't get any codes from the 'puter. after it started working, i got a set of factory diagnostic manuals, but it has worked flawlessly since i fixed that wire. so
