There are no engine codes, correct?

Many things can cause the cruise control to malfunction. Troubleshooting them can be a pain with all the switches and relays involved.

If you can find some scans or a copy of the "HELMS" manual it will walk you through the trouble step process including the pages of flowcharts. Or you can try taking it to a dealership and they may ID the problem as something simple.

Easiest thing right now would be to check the fuses and make sure the vacuum lines are hooked up and not leaking.

Does the cruise button by the roof button stay in when you click it? It should also show an indicator light when pushed in. If it doesn't, that button is busted.

I noticed that cruise control doesn't work when the headlights/parking lights are ON. Anyone else notice that?

Nice.

I was gonna ask you if you checked all your fuses.

Good luck with the new ride.

Are you sure that you're using only DOT 5 blinker fluid??

No. The only JDM ANYTHING you should buy from eBay is the authentic JDM Prelude Type-R badge. I got mine cheap... only $30.00 +s&h.

I need to find some DOT 5 fluid then.

Did you notice a difference with the Prelude Type R badge? I have a Type SH badge on mine. The car still feels slow and bloated.
