Hi, the cruise control is not working on my 2001 Pontiac Sunfire. The fuse is fine and the break lights are working. Any suggestions? Thanks, Luis

I had the rear passenger tire bearings replaced and later noticed my cruise control wasn't working.  I don't
think there is a relation between the two, but don't know where to look next.  Please help.  Thanks, Luis

The abs light is not on. Is the speed sensor on a specific wheel? Since the bearings were replaced on the passenger rear wheel, I'm wondering if this could be related.

Cleaning the front anti lock sensors on my 2004 Sunfire seemed to help until the cruise control quit working entirely. Mechanic said it was the control unit after checking it for free when troubleshooting something else. Picked up another control unit at a junk yard off a 2005 and found both units contained a seized up white plug attached to a tape emanating from inside the module. After using a file to reduce the plug size ever so slightly, it freely slipped in and out up the cable housing where it attaches to the control unit. Cruise control has been working fine now for many months.
