I have a 2006 Dodge Stratus 2.4. I can't enable cruise control, meaning I cannot turn it on using the switch on the steering wheel. Given that I can't turn it on, I can't set a speed either.

Update: the problem is intermittent; very rarely I can press the on/off switch and the cruise control will turn on. If it does turn on, after 3-5 seconds, it turns back off. Setting a speed does not work 99% of the time. If it does get set, the cruise control will turn off again anyway after a few seconds.

Here's what I've checked so far:

• Fuses [All Good]
• Cruise Control Servo [No apparent damage]
• Electrical connection to CC servo [No corrosion and not loose]
• Throttle cable to server [Tension is good and no damage]
• Will check brake light switch and update
• Will check CC switch on steering wheel for corrosion and update.
• Will check steering wheel clockspring and update

From there, I'm not sure where to go next. Does anyone have any ideas on how to properly troubleshoot my cruise control?

So far, I've verified that the fuses are all good. From there, I'm not sure where to start next. Does anyone have any ideas on how to properly troubleshoot my cruise control?

Where should I start? Do I need any special tools?
