I have the cruise control problem sometimes in my 13. If I'm at a rest area and just run up through the gears it will do that, I have to move through them more than once, then it starts working. I just take the next exit ramp and drive back on the highway then it's fine. Not sure if it will help yours or not. Other options would be brake or clutch switch.

I don't know anything about that particular brand as I own a 2015 Carrier but try this place for parts:

Do you have the onguard system? When I drove a cascadia if the sensor in the front was tilted or blocked by anything, the cruise turned on but didn't set. -

No need to go through the gears multiple times, and no need to get off the next exit. Just apply and release your brakes once. Apply them just enough that your brake lights come on and immediately release. Then set your cruise. Works like a charm.
There's a reason why it always happens coming out of a rest area. Once you start the truck and start moving, you rarely if ever need to apply your brakes as you gain speed. When you get off the next exit, you apply your brakes, thus setting the CC system to function. Then when you get back on, since you have already applied your brakes, it sets fine.marineman227 Thanks this. -
