Cruise Control no longer works!
Got crankcase breather and put car back together. Started just fine. After driving I noticed the tran fluid was really low so I added a quart. Driving back to school I pressed the cruise control button and noticed the orange light flashed but didn't stay on; I pressed it again and it came on but I wasn't able to set the cruise. Now what?!

gcookaustin,
Check out this pic: http://www.subaru-svx.net/photos/fil...2phat/2602.jpg Hopefully it is only that and nothing else <fingers crossed> B.C. |

Thanks; I'll check that out in the morn (it's wet outside). I would like to think that it's a fuse or one of those hoses; that's probably what it is since I disconnected a bunch of stuff and banged around a bunch of other stuff getting that big air hose thing off and on. The only thing that bothers me though is how the light flickered the first time I pressed it but not since then...

I often have to press my cruise button multiple times to get it to come on. It's probably the vacuum hose Brian pointed out. Good job on the pic, Brian.

When I picked my car up from the dealer the other day, I got the same lump in my throat.. Fortunately, they just pulled the hose off by accident when working on the A/C. There isn't a lot of slack in it, so it's a fairly natural thing to have happen.
FWIW, I also have to mash the CRUISE button sometimes 3-4-5 times to get the light to "stick" on. I suspect the switch is just old and flakey. --jim |

You are correct...the switches aparrently get some corrosion in them because they don't get used too often. It is a common condition for many of us... I suppose you can 'excersise' it and it would probably get better
