Default Cruise control

Hey guys and girls my cruise control just stopped working and I can not find a fuse for it or any thing to check. Any ideas on what to check to see why it stopped working. The rest of the multifuction switch works fine. Any help would be appreciated

The Fuse should be under the Hood or in the side of the Dash on the inside of the Door..

I see you have an M6. If it's not the cruise control fuse check the switch on the clutch pedal, the one on the back side of the pedal. Make sure it's closed (compressed), when you press clutch it pops out turning cruise control off.

I have the same problem and its the clutch circuit switch on mine, just as crager mentioned. If that is the problem fix it ASAP, with mine not working not only does my cruise control not work, but i can turn on the car without pushing in the clutch. And thats pretty dangerous if you leave your car in gear and someone gets in not realizing it and turns on the car.

Make sure the switch is adjusted properly. If it isn't fully depress then it won't work.
