206 Cruise Control Failure

Hi, I'm having a strange issue with my 2007 Peugeot 206 diesel. The cruise control suddenly stopped working! An error message pops up on the speedometer, and the system is completely unresponsive. I scanned for errors and it shows up in the memory, but I can't figure out what's wrong. Could a defective cable or plug connection cause this? I've checked the fuse box, but everything seems fine there.

Hey! I also drive a Peugeot 206, though mine is a bit older. I had a similar cruise control problem a while back. It turned out to be a faulty connection to the throttle body. Have you checked the cables and plugs around there? It might be worth a look before you start suspecting the actuator or steering wheel controls.

Thanks for the tip! When you say 'faulty connection', do you mean a loose wire, or something more complex? Did you get any specific error codes? The throttle body seems like a good place to start looking.

Yeah, I think it was just a corroded connector. A corroded connector is an electrical connector where corrosion has formed on the metal surfaces. This corrosion increases the electrical resistance of the connection, potentially causing malfunctions or failures. I couldn't fix it myself, so I brought it to a shop. They cleaned the connector and applied some dielectric grease, and the cruise control worked again, so I'd say you take it to a workshop.

Ok, thanks so much for your help! I took it to a local shop and they found a damaged wire. They replaced it and it is now working again. Repair cost was 95€. I really appreciate the help!
