99 Forester - Cruise Control

Aug 18, 2005 4 Replies

Hi all,



Can anyone tell me please, once the main control switch is pushed, is there any indication in the cabin thst it is engaged. Eg, does your switch light up, is there a dash panel indicator light, does the switch have a tactile response? Mine, the swithc has not tactile response (doesn't click for example), has no light and there is no dash panel indicator. Just wondering how you're supposed to know the main switch is engaged or not? Thanks in advance, regards Graham.


Well I don't know about the 99' Forest but in my 98' OBW there is a "click" with the main button and the main button has a light that comes on.

'02 Forester. Button near my knee, turns on a green 'CRUISE' light in the dash. Absolutely no tactile feel at all, feels like a blank on a spring. No click, doesn't lock in as it's a momentary-type switch. Then you use the stick - down set/decelerate, up resume/accelerate, towards you for cancel. Turn the cruise system off, press the button again. All the normal overrides - brake pedal, change of gears (manual) etc.

Check your fuses. If the little light ain't coming on when you push the button, then cruise isn't working. If the fuses are fine, get it looked at by a dealer. Same deal as before.

We have a '99 Forester. The button does not click, though there is a hard stop at the bottom of its travel. There is an orange light on the button above the word CRUISE. The light is hard to see in daylight. Check it at night or in an unlit garage.

Well shoot, just take your foot off the gas and if you don't slow down, it's on!
