No cruise control

My cruise control does not work. The cruise control light on the dash comes on when I activate the switch, but the pedal doesnt stay.

I have checked the fuses and to make sure just replaced them.

Any help would be great.

you know you have to push the switch in to turn it on, then flip the lever down to tell the ecu that the current speed is the speed you want right?

and also, it doesnt work when traveling slower than 35mph IIRC

moar info would be nice other than "it doesnt work"

Check your brake light bulbs. Cruise doesn't work if one is burned out.

Are you sure you know how to correctly use the cruise control feature?
The pedal doesnt stay, it's a drive by wire system.

Once cruise control is turned on, you need to set your speed by pushing the cruise control lever down. It will say "set" and an arrow pointing down.

Thats exactly it, i tired putting led tail light bulbs in my car a couple weeks ago and it disconects your cruise cause it thinks you have a bad bulb, cause its not drawing enough power.

It is the manufactuerers way of telling you that a brake light(s) are out/nonfunctional.

I bought the RA last year and the cruise contol never worked. It did come with leds for brake lights. I will switch them out and follow up. Thanks for all of your input.

Swapping out the led brake lights with 7443 Xenon Lighting Whites did the trick. The cruise control works great.
