I had to throw in a new starter several weeks ago and I was in such a rush to get it in (time crunch) that I didnt disconnect the battery wires. Well, as you might guess, I touched the red wire to the tranny and pretty much did some arc welding. For a few minutes, nothing in the car would turn on. But a few minutes later, everything worked like a charm... Except for the cruise control. It really has not been a huge deal until now. Im starting to do a lot more long distance highway driving and I really want my cruise control back. Here's the symptoms.
Going down the highway and I push the ON button followed by the SET button. I let off of the gas pedal and the car slows down as if the cruise isnt working. But the gas pedal now is extremely light. I barely push the pedal and it goes down until it reaches the speed at which I set the cruise on. At this point, the pedal goes back to its normal stiffness until I slow down again. So it feels like the cruise control is working properly but it just does not have enough power to pull back the throttle cable. Any ideas?
