Ok, so I swapped my gears & found my cruise control just blinking at me when I tried to engage it.
. I was about to just accept this fate, but then I started
&
I decided to perform an ECU reset via the tap dance on the pedal method found here
RESET ECU alternative method to see if by chance it might work
. Well I am happy to say it did
. After resetting the ECU I started the car & let it sit in park to warm up & then set the cruise control to on before shifting into gear & it didn't blink. Then I started off got up to a little speed & engaged the cruise control set point & it worked. Then tried to use the accelerate button & it worked. I then tested turning off the cruise control altogether & then later turned it back on & it still continued to work. stopped the car shut off the engine, restarted driving & turned on the cruise control again & it is still working.
It worked for me, Who knows maybe it'll work for you.
YMMV
