Brodizzle83 Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 My cruise stopped working on my '96 Grand Prix a few weeks ago. Just wondering where I should start as far as problem solving.

Schurkey Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 Anything ELSE not working? Checked all the fuses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTP091 Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) It’s either electrical or vacuum related. I’d check for broken vac lines to start with. Check the ends carefully. Need to make sure your vac bottle is good as well. Does it try and engage but cutout or nothing st all?

ron350 Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 I think 96 models were all electric cruse module and seam to have a high failure rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imp558 Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 When it stopped working on my 96 it was the switch assembly on the stalk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55trucker Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 ^ Right you are, the electronic module is mounted to the drivers side shock tower. They do not stand up well to continuous heat. JOHN GTPPRIX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it a "pick from the JY and hope for the best" kind of part?Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55trucker Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 The module that was used for your year GP was a 4 year item, in 99 it was replaced with an newer design. *assuming* that this IS the problem source you probably don't want to pay the over-the-counter retail price on one, you'll fall on 'yer ass when you see what they are selling for.

ron350 Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Yes the cruse control switches in the turn signal stalk can go bad. The small electrical connector on the back side of the turn signal stalk is just for the cruse control. You can unplug the connector and test the switches with an ohm meter. You can also pull the wiring connector on the cruse module and check for voltage on the pins but that is a pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
