Default cruise control not working

just wondering if anyone had this problem or anything before. i was driving on a 30 mph road and i set my cruise at around 30 but i saw a cop so i slowed down to 25 just to be safe and my cruise control completly cut off and now it wont turn on again? as soon as it hit 25 witch i guess is the mark for it to start working i checked the fuse and changed it out but that wasnt it any sugestions? im about to drive 1300 miles next week and id rather not push the pedal the whole time cause then i tend to speed a bit more.

So, does it work above 25? Mine cuts out at 25 and can't be used at low speeds. Not really sure why but its done that forever.

IRRC cruise control won't work at 25 or under, that's just how the system is designed. It should continue working once you accelerate above 25. Was this during the same drive? You might need to turn your ignition off. For some reason my cruise control did that one day: it just wouldn't engage no matter what speed i went. The next day it was fine though.

I know... stupid question... but I have to ask. Have you checked the "Off" position on the slider switch?

The same thing has happened to me in the past and I found that I had switched the system "Off."

You could check the wires for voltage. A couple things will prevent the CCM from engaging. If it's not getting the "on" signal (obviously), it's not getting power, a signal from the clutch switch or brake switch, or a faulty signal from the VSS somehow. I suggest you check the wiring and make sure that the proper signals are being sent to the CCM.
