Cruise control Issue

I need some help. At first my cruise control was going out intermittantly. Hit on the steering wheel some and it would work again. Now it's just dead. Not a fuse, and the rest of my dash works. Got any idea's?

Sounds like one of the switches is flaky. If the horn is not working then it's the clock spring.

the horn is working fine. A faulty switch. something so simple and dumb. son of a *****. I don't think it's a brake switch but i'll check it out.

If your brake light stay's on every once in awhile it's the dang switch

typical Chrysler electrical...

My cruise just randomly works sometimes and doesn't work most of the time. I've never been able to sense a pattern to it.
