Brodizzle83 Posted October 18, 2018 Report 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. Thanks! Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Quote
Schurkey Posted October 19, 2018 Report Posted October 19, 2018 Anything ELSE not working? Checked all the fuses? Quote
GTP091 Posted October 22, 2018 Report 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? Edited October 22, 2018 by GTP091 Quote

ron350 Posted October 22, 2018 Report Posted October 22, 2018 I think 96 models were all electric cruse module and seam to have a high failure rate. Quote
Imp558 Posted October 22, 2018 Report Posted October 22, 2018 When it stopped working on my 96 it was the switch assembly on the stalk. Quote
55trucker Posted October 22, 2018 Report 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

55trucker Posted October 22, 2018 Report 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 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
