Hello all,
I found my answer to my cruise problem on the forum and just want to say its alot cheaper than taking it to the garage.
I lost my cruise on my 2008 Avalanche Z71 and was very frustrated. The lighted cruise button on my steering wheel would light up but no cruise. After some research this appears to be a regular problem with gm trucks. The brake light switch seems to be the culprit. There are two sets of contacts in the switch one being for the brake lights (which worked fine on my truck) and the 2nd to deactivate the cruise. I purchased my switch at GM Canada and it was 30 bucks. It is very easy to get out and only took me six minutes to remove and replace. Only one bolt and out she came. On the road and bingo cruise was back. I took the old switch apart and sure enough one set of contacts was seized closed. Well I hope this helps somebody else out.
