Archived from groups: alt>autos>dodge>trucks (more info?)

I have 97 Dodge RAM 1500 Extended Cab PU (5.2L) and really enjoy it but
my cruise control has apparently went out. The cruise control button
in the steering wheel will come on but it will not engage. After about
1 minute, the system will turn itself off.

I use cruise control allot and was wondering, is there a module that I
can replace or a vacuum hose that I should look for. Forgive me, I am
not a mechanic and any information will be appreciated.

My '96 had the same problem and it turned out to be a severed vacuum hose
beneath the battery tray. Minimal cost; replaced it myself. Hope this
helps.

I had the same condition Ralph did on my '96 5.9. I did not replace
the line though. It broke off at the connector right under the battery
tray. I just cut and removed the bad section, stuck it back in and
taped it real tight with electrical tape. It's been perfect ever
since. My symtoms were a bit different than yours though. Sometimes
it would engage but it would never hold the correct speed as it would
vary within about a 20 mph range. Usually it would not engage though.
I never had the light go out on me though.
