First post ya'll!

Anyway:

Had this 2001 Eldorado for about a month.

Starting last week, the Cruise Control disengages about 4-5 seconds after I attempt to set it.

Quite annoying. seeing that 95% of my daily 25 mile each way commute is on the freeway.

"Cruise Engaged" comes up on the display, then goes out 4-5 seconds, doesn't really engage (can't feel it either).

Any clues on where to start?

Thanks!

Ok, figured out what it was.

Popped the hood, found the cruise control module (happened to be right next to the throttle), there was a linkage cable loose and flopping around out of its grommet. Guess what, it was the link cable!

Snapped it back on the grommet, found a place above 35MPH and the damn thing set!

Damn!!

So proud of myself now!

Maybe I Can work for Cadillac Service!

Bunch of idiots, they wouldn''t even give me a clue on what to even look for. Didn''t even offer to open the hood and just nose around for something "stupid" like that. Guess they just want $110 just to look at it.

Humph!
