| Cruise control would not engage. icon on dash just flashed when set was depressed. i tried all cruise switches to verify if it was a stuck switch. pressing cruise on and coast switches on steering wheel causes horn to sound. dealer said the brake switch was the cause due to a missing ground buss. the vehicle uses ground switching so the horn should be on all the time. the horn still sounds when switches are depressed. i feel cause is in the steering wheel hub and am concerned this can effect the air bag deployment. *tr | |||
