I’m a new owner of a stock 2001 EX Sedan 5 speed. I’m having problems with my cruise control. I’ve only used it twice since I bought it. Now it is not working and I can’t figure out what’s wrong with it. The cruise control master switch button lights up but when I push the set button it won’t set. I looked to see if there is a cruise control fuse in the manual but found nothing. What fuse should I check? Has anyone run across this problem before? How should I go about getting this fixed? Is it ok for me to unplug the battery?

 

check on the clutch pedal and see if the rubber bump stop is broken. something is the system is open (ie) brake/clutch switch or the cruise control accuator is failed or unpluged.

 

^He's right, there's a sensor which is associated with the clutch pedal, if the cruise control system thinks that the clutch is depressed, then it won't activate. I had a similar problem right after I had a security system installed with a remote start. The installer forgot to bypass the clutch sensor.

 

Thanks I will check both pedals later today.

 

I found out that mine take about 45 sec in order to set it. I’m guessing it doesn’t work like other cars I have driven before where you can set it at any time. Thanks again for everyone help.
