I'm confused; are you riding the brake pedal?

Any cruise control on any car every built will deactivate whenever the brake pedal is touched; you then can use "resume" to activate it again.

Yes I an using my foot to pull upwards on the pedal.

 

Either the brake switch is loose or out of adjustment, or it's worn and not setting in the OFF position.

.3 mm is virtually nothing?

Not long ago I replacd the brake light switch. So it could be it needs to be adjusted? thanks

 

Yep, it needs to be really close. If it’s not close enough, the switch won’t detect the presence of the pedal and will conclude the brake is being pressed all the time. Hence no cruise.

With your current setup, when you lift up on the brake pedal, it gets close enough to the switch (or hits it) for it to conclude the brake pedal is not being pushed. Hence you get cruise.

Yes thats what I believed. I adjusted the switch downward there is no doubt the brake pedal is touching the switch when not depressed. Would this make you think the switch is bad, the brake lights are working fine. After adjusting the cruise woyuld not set even when I liftedd up on the brake pedaal as it had before? should there be a space between the pedal and the switch? Thanks

 

A stopper is a better description than grommet. The part number for my car is 36041ag020

 

I have now ordered one. Is there any trick to getting the plug out of the switch it does not want to come out I do not want to break it? thanks

 

Not sure what you mean by a ‘plug’?

If you mean the stopper, it looks to be pushed into a little ‘shelf’ on the stem of the brake pedal.

 

Stopper is more accurate. Is there trick to getting the plug out of the switch? Thanks

 

You mean the electrical connector? There is usually a little tab that needs to be pressed to lever up a piece of plastic that catches on a tab.

But if you’re just installing the stopper, I’m not sure why you need to disconnect the electrical connector…
