Well, it took me longer than anticipated to start looking into this issue, mostly because it's taken me this long to find a job, so I can afford to hopefully repair it.
I have an '07, purchased used last year. I detailed the car a bit in my intro thread last year, but tl;dr it fit the budget and was mechanically sound. Cosmetically... needs work. But, whatever, nice to not have to worry as much if people can't remember what lines in a parking lot are for.
There's one issue that I'd like to fix, mostly so my gas mileage can improve a bit. I'm going to be driving the car a lot more with this job (it's about 35-ish miles from the house), and since purchase (and assuming before), the cruise control hasn't worked. I've searched around, and saw this seems to be a common issue, even some being DoA when they were new. However, none of the other posts I've seen on here or elsewhere, mention the additional issue I'm having that I don't even get an indicator light. The lever honestly doesn't feel like it has any resistance. Both my Tiburon and Passat had similar levers, and they would give me -some- feedback when pressed.
Am I likely looking at a broken lever, instead of (or maybe in addition to) the usual fare? I can get pics/video if needed to get the point across. I used to have some but, apparently cleared them off my phone.
It's a minor thing, but it would make the drive home easier. That and replacing the head unit with something that doesn't have a chewed up aux port... and maybe with nav.
