i hit the button with da green light
Just a point if infact your hitting the button with the green light, that means your turning cruise control off, because if you see the green light then you hit it then that means no cruise control for you.

i have gotten it to go through....it may stay on for a min and then just kick itself off like i hit the brakes or something (next thing i now is that im
getting beeped at cause im going 10 under the limit
As for that i know in my 04 Vic manual tranny, when i put it on cruise ctrl and i barely even touch the clutch (like tap accedentaly when moving my feet) and i mean i barely touch it, it will take me off of cruise ctrl. so if you have a manual transmission its really touchy. hope that maybe helped some what, later bro

ok you push the cruise control button, then go to the speed you want, then on the steering wheel, push set cruise control.
if you want to accelerate, push speed up, etc.

I vote your fingers are fat and you're mistakenly hitting the cancel button in the middle....weiner fingers


anyways...do a test....find a 35 or 30 mph zone...turn on the cruise control (push button with green light on) push the decel button twice...(don't ask just do it) look to see that the words in the gauge cluster CRUISE CONTROL come on...when they do hit cancel, then repeat the same thing.... and watch what your fingers do each time....(this is why i said find a slow speed zone, don't need ya looking down at your fingers while crusing at 75) you may be inadvertantly hitting a button...also I wanna say cruise only will engage at speeds 30+....

Gearbox did a diy on tightening the cruise control cable sometime back. Seems that it can have a little too much slack causing these types of problems. Might want to check that. Tighten it only a little and see.
