Hey guys, was wondering if anyone knows what could be the problem with my cruise control and how to fix it. I have a VY V8 sedan and the cruise control doesn't work but everything else on the stalk does. Have gotten a good stalk from the wreckers and still isn't working. HELP!!! Thanks :)

You get another module, they go for $20-$60 on eBay.

It piss easy to change. Disconnect cruise control cable at throttle body (just disconnect, don't remove whole cable), disconnect cable at module side (twist cover anticlockwise, then remove cable from holder in module, you will look at it and work it out in 5 seconds flat), unclip the wiring harness, and just remove the screws holding in the module. Reverse to install. Its really a 10 minute job.

Make sure that the "2nd hand" stalk you bought is actually working.
VY/VZ C/C stalks have a habit of dying if you use CC a lot.
I put up with mine for ages as some days it would work and others nothing would happen.
It would light up on the dash but when you wanted it to activate nothing would happen,
Bought a new stalk about 18months ago and has worked perfect ever since.
Next time it starts playing up will just go and buy a new stalk, if you can still buy one new with Holden discontinuing so many parts these days.

Check clutch pedal switch if manual, check brake switch is working and not stuck on.

Yeah, if everything else is ok, then big chance its a faulty cruise module. Mine failed a while back in my VS. First it just started turning off by itself when going along with it turned on and set, then it died altogether and did nothing. Everything else I checked was ok, so I replaced the module under the bonnet and shes been working again ever since.
