    Arrow Cruise control problem. Please advise.

    Good morning all.
    Hope someone here can help (seems to be a wealth of expertise here).
    The OE cruise control on my VY ute has stopped working.
    Pressing the button on the end of the stalk no longer activates cruise control.
    Given its age (it looked and felt a bit old and manky), I went down to Ballarat Holden and bought a new stick (about $80), disassembled the outside of the steering column and installed the new stick in the place of the old, connecting both leads. I simply changed over the original so it was pretty obvious where each bit went, so I am confident it is properly installed. Also, the indicators and high beam also work fine with the new stalk.
    Sadly, the cruise control still fails to activate (the LCD display won't even display "CRUISE", let alone on.
    If anyone has any suggestions, I would be very appreciative.

    Thanks in advance,

    Gav/

    Might be the cruise module under the bonnet. It's located just in front of the drivers side strut tower. Check the big brown plug Is secure, if not, you may be up for a new one.

    Thanks for the quick replies: edals, Markbaja.
    Checked the fuses first and no probs there. I will now check the module.
    Very much appreciated.

    If you do no good checking everything, you might have to go see someone who has a decent diagnostic scanner, some scanners can access the BCM (Body Control Module) which is what usually controls the cruise control systems. You can run certain tests etc from the scanner to see whats going on, or read and clear any logged BCM error codes if any are set....

    probably a worn out button or broken wire in the switch. If you are keen u could try open up the stalk and check the wires or just replace it.
