Kangoo Cruise Control Failure

Hey, my 2011 Renault Kangoo (electric engine) has a weird cruise control problem. Mileage is at 92193 km. It just stopped working and the cruise control light doesn't even come on. I scanned it and there's an error code stored. I've checked the basic stuff like fuses, but everything seems fine there. Any ideas before I start digging deeper?

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.

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!
