The fact you have to press it multiple times is consistent with a bad switch, or a bad connection.

Using a voltmeter or test light
(the type for testing for voltage, not a continuity tester) probe the gray wire at the Cruise Module located behind the right side of the dash IP.

When you switch the Cruise to ON, is there power there?

Then probe the
gray wire with a black stripe.

When you switch the Cruise to ON, is there power there?


Happy Racing!
