Intermittent Cruise Control Issue
Happy Easter folks!
ive searched around and found one other post identical to this but no posted resolution so I’d appreciate any guidances.
Cruise control on 04 RX330 has started randomly not responding. Sometimes it won’t turn on at all. Other times it turns on and works for awhile then the “cruise” light stays on but the stalk is inoperative.
I don’t think it’s the stalk - I see there is a relay and the physical cruise mechanism but I don’t want to just start shooting in the dark.
Thanks

I've had this same issue with the same car model. I've not figured out the solution yet but I'm thinking of replacing the stalk and see if that fixes it. I don't have any other ideas at the moment.

Can you test and see if it is associated with turning the steering wheel (i.e. can you get the cruise to work after turning the steering wheel a bit)?
Ours was doing something similar and it turned out to be the spiral cable in the steering column.

I finally had a chance to test this and yes, after turning the steering wheel, it works... and of course stops after awhile. I guess that means I need a new clock spring.

t looks that I have the same problem - very often I can't turn it ON/OFF; if I was able to turn ON, then I can't set up the speed or adjust it. But I didn't find any pattern. (((

Can you please give more detailed info? Links for parts, steps for DIY, maybe video on YouTube, etc.? Thank you.

That is exactly the problem I had. Replacing the clock spring fixes it. Try to get a Toyota clock spring. I got a off brand Chinese one and it worked but a year later I had to remove the steering wheel again and noticed that the case of the clock spring had totally unraveled.
