1. Have you verified that the fuse is OK?
2. There are a pair of switches located on the right (passenger) side of the master cylinder - replace both.

thanks guys, i had only bought one of the switches. i called peformance products and they said there was only one switch for my car. hmm ill re order both i think to be safe. all my fuses are fine from what i see. thansk for the help ill look into this tonight while at work

 

Your fuse is easy to check, if your cruise control works it's OK, if your cruise control does not work the fuse is a good possibility.

oh my cruise controll doesnt work......that fuse would be in the fuse box in the front right??

 

It's fuse #4 on the 10-pin fuse box. The boxes are located on the left (driver's) side of the trunk under a black, plastic cover. From the back moving forward there is a 3-pin box, then a 10-pin box, and an 8-pin box. The three boxes can look like a single box, but they're not. The fuse for the brake lights/cruise is the 7th one (total) from the dashboard end moving forward. It will be an 8 amp fuse (white) next to a 25 amp fuse (blue), which will be for the fuel pump. Corrosion can get on the fuse tips, you have to remove it to correctly check it.

thanks ill go look now, its prolly coorded and i never even knew lol

 

checked the fuse that didnt do the trick

 

Check the wiring to the fuse - also check that the fuse box itself has not split at this point - had a 930 that just failed to start one night, all fuses checked out but the box was split across the point of the fuel pump fuse, seems they do this sort of thing.

These cars have some funny habits!

Good hunting
