I'm sorry. What I posted on page one was pretty much all I have. I think what I meant was for one of the guys in this forum was he/she could call me and I would walk them through the process I used to trouble shoot my system. To help point out or explain what they are looking at. There is another possibility with the Cruise Control. It is some switch or relay that you have to remove the Steering Wheel to get to it. I am not a Jeep mechanic I just do what I can with what I have.

Hope this helps, I had the exact same problem with my 2001 Grand Cherokee, ((fan position switch won't work (go from floor to dash to windshield, etc.)), and the cruise control won't engage. I'm told both are due to a vacuum line problem, ). I fixed mine by replacing 1/4" hose located directly under battery mounting pan. Takes a little work but might be worth it.
First remove battery. Then remove pan, you'll need a deep socket 10mm with extentions to get at one mounting nut. Remove two nuts holding cable to fuse/relay box attached to pan. Move pan out of way. The hose that's causing all the problems is about 6" long going to servo. Replaced hose ($.77) and it took care of both problems. Total job took about 1 hour. From what I have been reading this is the hose that's causing everyone problems.

Thanks for the excellent information. The cruise control on my 2000 Grand Cherokee would not engage. I followed your instructions and found the broken vacuume line below the battery pan. I replaced the thin plastic and brittle broken line with about 1 foot of 1/4" fuel line. I did have to purchase a deep socket 10mm socket and a 10" extension. Wow - I have cruise control again!!!!

Thanks for the step by step on what to look for and how to fix it. I just bought my first Jeep Cherokee Sport ever! From the nicest couple, who had the same problems. They got the actual unit replaced, but this did not help the problem. Now, I can see what I might be, the hose. My question is can a person with no mechanical experience do this? I would like to try but don't want to cause further problems. Thanks in advance

I had the same problem. First I checked the cruise cable throttle that was linked under the battery. It was intact. I changed three vacuum hoses under the battery. Before I put the battery in I followed the vacuum hoses, to the plastic line, and found an unconnected hose on the carburetor side, This hose was from the vacuum plastic line, attached to a rubber hose that was attached to the side of the engine body. I plugged that hose in and everything worked, cruise and blower. Because it was loose on the body, I replaced that hose. Total cost $2.50 worth of 1/4 inch hose. It didn't cost me anything to get the Chilton book from the library.

2001 JGC Limited Squeeking Steering Wheel/Cruise Control Broken
by arciina007

I just purchased a JGC Limited 4x4 with 98k for $4500 with a clean carfax report, well taken care of (had papers for the last 4 years) and was a very nice ride. I noticed that the steering wheel squeeks when I turn the wheel and the cruise control doesn't work. I was wondering if it's possible for the steering wheel to squeek because of the cruise control or if it just needs to be sprayed with WD40?? I know nothing about the mechanics of cars and am a first time jeep owner, I was wondering if I got a good deal on this cherokee and how expensive it is to have a mechanic fix the cruise control? Thanks!
