Peugeot 106 Cruise Control Failure

Hey, I'm having a nightmare with my 2002 Peugeot 106, gasoline engine. The cruise control just decided to stop working. The light doesn't even come on when I press the button. I scanned for errors, and there's something stored in the error memory, which is super annoying. I've checked the obvious stuff like fuses, but they all seem fine. Could a dodgy brake light switch cause this? I'm at a loss, mileage is at 123249 km. Any ideas?

Summary of the thread

The 2002 Peugeot 106's cruise control failure was initially suspected to be caused by a faulty brake light switch. However, further investigation suggested checking the clock spring and throttle position sensor, common issues in similar cases. The problem was ultimately traced to a defective cable and plug connection, which was resolved at a garage.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

Had similar cruise issues with my 106. Check the clock spring and throttle position sensor. Common faults.

Cheers! Where exactly is the clock spring located, and how can I check the throttle position sensor? I'm not super mechanically minded, so the more details the better. Is it something I can test with a multimeter, maybe?

Clock spring is in the steering column. Throttle position sensor, not really DIY friendly. Seems like cable or plug connection of the component defective. Best bet, take it to a workshop. Save yourself the headache.

Took your advice and went to a garage. Turned out you were spot on. Error was a defective cable; they fixed the plug connection of the component and cleared the error. Cost me 95€. Thanks a bunch for the steer!
