cruise control not working

[andrewbb89]

my cruise control hasnt worked since i bought the car. its a manual so i always thought there was no cruise feature. but it has the cruise lever. i have checked the fuse box and couldnt find one that was blown out. it seems there is no power to the module at all. im going to vag it shortly to see if anything comes up. any idea on what i should do?

this happened to me... make sure your brake light isnt staying on / even coming on... it could be the brake sensor switch behind the brake pedal getting stuck... quick easy fix, and the part is cheap. It is a known problem.

Same problem hear. Ever since I bought my car to the dealer it stopped working. I've used the Cruise Control on long trips, but now nothing works. My brake lights are not staying on when releasing the pedal so can it still be the sensor even though the brake light goes off as it should?

Any help appreciated. Thanks

Mine didnt always stay on when it happened... but soon it started everytime. It may not be it, but I know if the sensor is bad the cruise control thinks your brake is always on... therefor not kicking on.
