Kangoo Cruise Control Failure
Summary of the thread
A 2011 Renault Kangoo with an electric engine experienced a cruise control failure, with the cruise control light not activating and an error code stored. Initial checks of fuses showed no issues. A suggestion was made to inspect the brake light switch, as a faulty switch can disable cruise control for safety reasons. Upon investigation, a corroded connection was found and resolved with cleaning and contact spray, restoring the cruise control functionality.

Interesting, I didn't think about the brake light switch. Was your error code pointing to that, or was it something more general? And which pedal switch are you referring to? The clutch or the accelerator?

The error was pretty vague if I remember correctly. I think it was something along the lines of 'cruise control malfunction'. It turned out to be the brake light switch. My Kangoo is automatic, so I am talking about the brake pedal switch. Honestly, if you're not comfortable messing with it, a workshop visit might be a good idea.

Thanks for the tip! I will check the brake light switch. The error description pointed to a defective cable or plug connection of the component. Turns out the connection was corroded. Cleaned it up, applied some contact spray, and it works like new. Cost me 95€ for the contact spray and error memory deletion. Appreciate the help!

I had a similar issue with my Kangoo (not sure what year mine is though). Check the brake light switch and the pedal switch. A faulty brake light can disable the cruise control as a safety measure. The error code probably gives you a clue.
