Galaxy cruise control failure

I'm having a nightmare with my 2004 Ford Galaxy diesel. The cruise control has completely stopped working! A message pops up in the speedometer, and of course, the cruise control itself is totally non-functional. I even plugged it in for diagnostics and it shows an error in the memory. I've checked the fuse box, but everything seems fine there. It's like when your phone charger suddenly dies, and you're left with no clue why! Any ideas?

I had a similar issue with my Galaxy. First, did you check the cable and plug connections of the cruise control component itself? A defective connection is a common cause.

Thanks for the quick reply! Where exactly is that component located? I'm not exactly a mechanic, so a detailed explanation would be great. I'm picturing this component like the car's brain, but I have no idea where the brain is located!

It's difficult to explain. Honestly, with those symptoms and if it's truly the cable/plug connection, it's best to take it to a workshop. They can diagnose it properly. It's like trying to fix a broken clock with a hammer – you might just make it worse.

Thanks for the advice! I took it to a workshop, and you were spot on. Apparently, it was a defective connection. The repair cost me 95€.
