Cruise Control Help Please

[kentrx1]

i have a 1992 gmc 1500 that the cruise control quit working. no light on dash or anything.....just like it is without power. can not find a blown fuse and it worked the last time i used it. i have read that it might be the switch, but just want to troubleshoot anything else it might be before i have to figure out how to pull the steering wheel. if someone thinks that is what it is, how much trouble is pulling the wheel? it has tilt and is automatic transmission. thanks.

shouldnt have to pull the steering wheel. the cruise contol switch is only on the wiper arm. just give it a good tug and it should pop out. the hardest part is feeding the wire back up the column. i have changed mine 2 or three times on my 89.

that sounds encouraging......and the 89 and 92 are similar? did yours just suddenly die without warning?

it is 95% chance its the blinker arm. its a fast easy fix. you can go to the junk yard and pick one up or order a brand new one. either way, easy fix.

i work at a junk yard here in northern mn. they are not identical there is very little difference. yeah mine died out of no where. used it one day and didnt have it the next.
