Some Chevrolet Express 1500 owners report experiencing intermittent issues with the cruise control, where it sometimes fails to set. These problems may be attributed to a faulty cruise control module, which can lead to inconsistent functionality. Additionally, loose wiring connections related to the cruise control system have been identified as a common issue, necessitating checks for secure and corrosion-free connections. In some cases, problems with the brake light switch can also disrupt cruise control operations, and replacing this switch has resolved issues for certain owners. For further diagnosis, a troubleshooting table can assist in identifying problems at the control module, which typically features a 10-pin plug with 8 wires in use. Furthermore, when the cruise control system is disengaged, the Engine Control Module (ECM) communicates with various components to update indicators and messages, which can also impact functionality. Addressing these potential causes is essential for resolving cruise control issues effectively.
