Yeah... I was afraid of that. I think I may just start running new wires between point A and point B following the diagram. Its' got to be one of those.

So, my cruise control is still working... sort of. Keeps cutting out and throwing the speed control solenoid circuit code again. :) I decided to try replacing the neutral saftey switch and when I went to that, I discovered that the three wires next to the connector that plugs into that have no...

I am not sure about the pressure transducer, but i could defiantly see how the range sensor could affect the cruise control, if the PCM thinks the truck is neutral or park, that will disconnect the cruise, so that makes sense that could have caused it in your case. Where were you able to find a...

Really? I have not heard of either of those, but I am insanely curious. Can you tell me what those are exactly and where I have them? Is this for an automatic trans?

Are you getting a trouble code along with your malfunctioning cruise control? I did find you can take the switches apart and clean them. They are pretty simple and because they are low voltage they should not really wear out unless they have gotten some corrosion on them. I was going to do...

Also check the harness where it plugs into the PCM on firewall, connectors C1, C2 and C3. I have heard some folks had problems over there too.

2001 Dodge Ram Cruise control FIXED. I FIXED IT!!!!! I decided to retest everything from the procedure I found at mopar1973man.com , and this time follow the directions more closely. The link to that procedure is here...

I am going to go through everything one last time tonight. I may pull back some wire loop and look for frayed wires or something. If I still cant figure it out... I will probably break down and put in an aftermarket unit.

You cant buy the switches anymore, so I got some used ones, tried those not change, but my originals back after cleaning them (I found they are serviceable despite what a dealer would tell you), still not change. :(

Its all one unit

Tested speed control servo again last night. Procedure: Connected SnapOn Solus Pro to ODBII port. Turned ignition on, engine off Selected functional tests (after setting by my vehicle with auto identification. Performed the following 3 tests: Commanded Vacuum solenoid on: passed (can hear...

I did measure the voltage at the clock spring connector, it read 5.196 volts The P1596 might have been triggered by testing the voltage with the ignition on, engine off, as it would have sent the current through tester, not the resistors in the switch. SO this is what I am thinking... the PCM...

I have cleared the codes multiple times, they come back. The P1595 refers generically to some sort of problem with the solenoid circuit, however the P1596 specifically references the voltage coming from the buttons on the steering wheel ae too high. I actually used a Scan Tool (Snap-On Solus...

Ok, I isolated the cruise wiring, its the red/light green wire and black /light blue wire. I cut out the part that bends with the tilt wheel and soldered in replacement wire. Still does not work. Now I am also getting a P1596 in addition to my P1595 trouble code. Testing voltage with clock...

Are these the wires for the cruise control buttons? (See photo)
