Cruise Control Went Out Tonight... Please help.

It's on the right side of the steering wheel. It appeared to me on my way home today that the cruise control works until I turn the headlights on... then nothing.

OK. So, it's the factory OEM version, and I see that you have a MT. The headlight piece is strange, as the two are in no way connected, but it could be a mechanical (i.e. loose connector issue).

I would check the following (in order based on ease of access):

1. Stop lamp switch (on the top of the brake pedal arm). Make sure that it isn't triggering too easily (jostle the brake pedal, while having someone watch the taillights).

2. Clutch switch (on the top of the clutch pedal arm). Make sure that is staying triggered, until the clutch is pressed. It's mount is adjustable, so make sure it hasn't loosened up and backed out a bit.

3. Fuses - Check STOP and ECU-IG (in the under dash fuse panel).

4. Finally, check the cruise control/horn connector on the steering column to make sure it is seated properly and that the pins for blue and brown wires are nicely seated (the connector is next to the headlight stalk one with a black, brown and a blue wire).
