    Default Why would CC stop working?

    Recently had a brake booster fixed at the local fix-it shoppy.

    But now, when I place the shifter from Park to Drive, I no longer need to press the brakes down. And most importantly, the cruise control no longer works! THe light comes on, but when I hit set it just doesn't do anything. Brake lights and brakes are working fine, but what gives?

    take it back and tell them they messed it up, having not to step on the break to change from park to drive is not really safe dude, if kids are in the car and some how play with it then hell is ganna break loose or if by mistake u hit it while reaching to the other side to get something :S

    sounds like the shift lock solenoid is either failed or was not connected again. depending on the make they vary in where they are located. but most often they are around the shifter.

    To me it sounds like the brake switch is bad or not connected.

    Check the vacuum lines to/from the booster and check the vacuum lines to/from the cruise control unit.
