Hard to turn off cruise....

[welder79]

All is well until I tap the brakes or push the off button on the steering wheel to turn off the cruise...as soon as i let up on the brake pedal it takes off again! If I use the button I have to push it about 5 or 6 times, holding it down for a few seconds on the last push, in order for it to not come alive again! This is a pain! Where should I look or what should I do?

Which truck? There's a recall for 93+.

[Jrod13]

my 88' does that as well... but only when you press the off button.. the brake pedal shuts it off every time.

I think you will find there are 3 switches, off switch at the cruise, Boo switch and the deactivator switch assy. If your truck has same system as the 93 I have a troubleshooting chart. PM me an email addy..

It's the '89 that is giving me problems.

My '89 does this as well. I've just gotten into the habit of pressing off 3 or 4 times when I want her to shut down. To kick it out with the brake, I have to hold the pedal down for a good couple of seconds to disengage it, just tapping it doesn't work like it does with everything else.

Kinda gives you a rush when she opens back up on ya when your not expecting it doesn't it?

mine if you just tap the breaks it wont disengage. if you get into the breaks pretty hard it will disengage... havent noticed anything when using the off button
