Cruise control light stays on

So it seems to be stuck in "on" mode which kind of suggests that it is either the switch that is broke, or a short in the wires to the switch. I'd try disconnecting the switch and see what happens.

I know this is an old post but I was wondering what the verdict ended up being? I have that same issue with my 99. We put in a new switch and the light still stayed on. The warranty is long gone as I have a bit over a 100,000 k on it. Everything still works but I'm getting tired of looking at that dang light. Would appreciate any info you might have.
thanks,
Jody

I have an extra cruise control main switch if you guys want to try that first. Send me your address, and I'll mail it to you.

Thanks Raque. I appreciate the offer. (you people here are sure nice!) However, we've already tried putting in a new switch so I'm assuming it must be a wiring issue. Once in awhile the light will go off for a bit, then comes on a bit later. I've asked my hubby to check it out but he's only gotten as far as replacing the switch... he doesn't drive my vx so the light doesn't bother him. lol

I think he did also check the fuse too. I was hoping someone out there with a whole lot more know how than I would tell me, oh yeah, no prob, easy fix.. (so I'm a dreamer..)
Anyway, thanks again for the offer. That was way cool of you!

Oh yeah, no prob., easy fix...2" of electricians tape over offending indicator light & you're done!
Once again, ND farmboy engineering at it's finest!!!
Sorry JGeorge, I couldn't stop my "evil" typing finger.
Good luck, Ldub

LOL, thanks LDub,

Don't know why I didn't think of that. I was raised on a ranch where if ya couldn't fix it with electricians tape, duct tape, or barbed wire then it couldn't be fixed. Right now the pretty green light goes well with the pretty orange ABS light. Guess I'll need two pieces of tape!

Gidder done!!!
