Cruise Control Disengagement?

[jasonleczo@hotm]

The cruise control on my 92 MTX does not disengage as it should when I depress the brake or clutch pedal. Does one function piggyback though the other? or is it possible that I have two coincidental bad switches on my clutch and brake pedals?

Try starting your car with the gear shift in neutral and not pressing the clutch in. If it starts, your clutch switch is out. (Mine is and I can start the car with it in gear...scares the crap out of you the 1st time it happens.)

If you hit the brakes and the brake lights dont come on, then your BOO switch is out. (I think this is the same switch that controls the cruise control.)

Check those, and go from there as to why your cruise isnt kicking off. Does it shut off when you hit the "Off" button on the steering wheel?

The clutch switch is definately active. I assume you are speaking of the third brake light, which I cannot check until I get an assistant. For that matter I need an siistant to check all the brake lights.

The ON/OFF selector is also functional. I'll check on the lights and get back.

I had bowen a brake lamp fuse and my cruse wouldn't disengage with the brake pedal, I didn't try the clutch pedal then so I don't know if there interlocked.
