cruise control?

[Skinny_Pedal]

i have an 86 4runner w/ factory cruise control. the switch on the dash comes on, but it wont set,decel, or resume. sometimes it will accel though? any thoughts?

check to see if it has a sec. brake switch for the c.c. if so it maybe sticking on

You can cancel the cruise function by stepping on the brake.  Of course Im sure you knew that but brainless is referring to the use of a switch just for the cruise circuit.  But I dont think their is one.

Check your brake light bulbs. I once had a similar problem and it turned ouit to be a bad brake light bulb.
Just my two cents.................

thats a good question what does a brake light have to do with cruise control?

When you press the Brake pedal your cuise control should shut Off. I guess it's all part of the same circuit and if theres a bad connection or something than the cruise control will not turn on Thats what i thought when he said that.
