Isn't it DOWN to set; UP to resume ?
And then "resume" will set too if you hold it ??

Set the first time out. Went through a round a bout. Tried to reset, wouldn't set. Turned cruise off and back on, still wouldn't set.
The throttle needs to be steady to work best. Cruise won't set if you are accelerating or decelerating. Especially it won't set if you are accelerating under load or decelerating with throttle backed all the way off.

Does that make sense considering the possible crossed wire theory?
That's what my 2011 RT-S does

Hello...............
DOWN to set
UP to resume
Right ? Wrong ??
(Don't have mine close by to verify.)

Mine acted up just before I hit the dreaded "Limp Mode." After that was fixed, cruise worked again.

I am aware this is an old thread, but will give it a try anyhow. I have a 2012 RT SM5 which has had and now has again a problem with the cruise control. Each time, it is the same symptoms. While it was still under the extended warranty, the cruise control would quickly display off when the set was used (the switch was pressed down). The dealer ordered the complete control cluster and replaced it, which is obviously a major undertaking, 4 or 5 hours at the dealer. I left the dealer and got on the freeway, and it worked a couple of times, then did the same, briefly flashing OFF and, of course, not accomplishing the set. Long story, turned around, went back to dealer, tech guy said the new one was defective as well. They ordered another complete cluster which was installed and it has worked fine, until the past few months when it began to intermittently fail to set, and the OFF indicator would display as soon as the set was pressed. Now, it fails almost always, and sets the cruise to OFF if trying to reduce speed with the switch/button.
Is there any way to clean or repair these switches? The spyder is at an age and has 49,000 miles now and just had the compressor replaced (expensive). Not sure if it is worth the cost of replacing the controls again as my dealer now charges 100.00 per hour labor as well.
Any tips on what goes wrong with these switches, or are they just that flimsy and unreliable?
Thanks in advance!
