I posed the same question a while back but got busy on other
vanagon-related things. I received several messages telling me to check
the brake and clutch switches first. But, with no more information than
that, I haven't taken any action, hoping to ask for more information.
That might be a good place to start... what are we supposed to be
looking for?

Also, what are your symptoms? Mine worked fine for 10 years plus. Then
would engage sporadically. By that I mean if I started the car and
attempted to engage the cruise control, I might be successful 70
percent of the time, then later 50, then thirty and now none over a
6-month period. And if it did engage it would always engage again until
the car was restarted, and if it didn't engage it wouldn't at all until
restarting, upon which it may or may not have engaged. Not scientific
data, but the pattern I observed.
