So first before anyone jumps down my throat: yes, I have searched already.
Background: I have a 2000 Impreza OBS I bought about six months ago. Cruise control has not worked since I bought it. The cruise button on the dashboard does illuminate, but I cannot get the car to start cruising by using the stalk on the steering wheel.
So I did some searching. Seems one common problem is the missing little rubber thing in the clutch pedal that pushes the switch (see this thead). Turns out mine was missing, but I replaced it with one from a junkyard. Did not fix.
I also read in a few threads that the vacuum line from the actuator can become detached. Checked, it's on there snug as a bug, no apparent issue.
Next I thought it was the stalk itself on the steering wheel, since mine did not feel snappy like the one in my girlfriend's 1997 Legacy Outback. So I replaced that last night and went for a drive, but could not get cruise control to engage.
The only thing I can think of now is the actual cruise control module is bad. Before I go out and buy one of those, can anyone think of anything else to check out? Please help!
