Cruise Control issues? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Wooott! so we took delivery today of a 2LT non-rs Camaro, Manual, black. LOVING it!

but I noticed something... the Cruise Control doesn't appear to work! I've owned a bunch of GM vehciles, and so I'm pretty sure I have the process down. (turn it on, push down on the set button, go!)

It is a manual, so is there something else that needs to be done? Since I haven't seen anyone else report this issue, I'm thinking its a procedural thing... but maybe not.

Mine is an auto , but it should be the same. Activate it then hit + or - to set it. A little light comes on in the dash.

yeah light goes on when you turn it on and changes colour when it is engaged..

if you put your foot on brake or clutch it deactivates

Interesting. Light is white, but never changes color. I'm guessing it supposed to go green when activated? Pressing up or down on the thumb wheel does nothing.

I mean I could be wrong here, but I'm curious to know the answer none the less. I don't think you can have cruise control in a 6spd, I don't actually know. Can you?

to accel u roll button up

I had the exact same issue with my car. Light on the dash was always white, cruise would not set. I took it to the dealer and they had it fixed within a few minutes. They said the clutch sensor was slightly out of adjustment, so the cruise control always thought the clutch was depressed (Hence, would not set). Since they adjusted the sensor it has worked perfect.

+1 with the clutch switch. The body control module always sees the clutch is pressed down with the switch out of adjustment. Also try pulling up on the pedal with the top of your foot while trying to set the cruise and see if it works. This would again confirm just an adjustment with the switch or pedal travel is needed.

If this helps, you need to be atleast going 30 mph

There have been numerous issues of failed clock springs connectors in the steering column. This the connector that allows the wiring from the steering wheel buttons to turn with the wheel and remain in contact with the stationary wiring in the column.

thanks! that was my hunch. I'll bring that into the dealer and hopefully get a quick fix. heh it helps that my good wheelin' buddy is one of the senior tech's at Chambers

sweet, I pulled the clutch back and it came on. Non adjustment necessary.. I'm guessing its just tight from being new?
