Hyundai Repair: Cruise Control stopped working, vehicle speed sensor, cruise control system


Question
Mr. Flowers,

I don't see cruise control in your list, but maybe its related and I saw your post on a similar topic (but the guy had so many problems, you couldn't diagnose over email) so maybe you can at least help me troubleshoot.

Bought a 2004 Tiburon 1.5 years ago and loving it.  Only 24,200 miles on it.  I noticed the cruise control no longer works.  When I press the button to turn it on, the light on the display does come up like normal.  I get to my speed, press down on the lever to set it like I have been doing and it no longer takes.

I have used it once a week (to my girlfriends house - must take interstate) for the last 1.5 years and never had a problem.  Can you tell me how I may be able to troubleshoot this?  I can't tell what's been changed - only maintenance I've done recently was air and oil / oil filter changed last month but I'm sure it worked after then.  Any help would be great.

Answer
 hope this helps
