So I'm coming home from work and go to hit the cruise to set at 74 mph. Light turns on in the dash but nobody is home. I'm cursing my wife 'cause every time she drives my car she switches it off. I figure, yes, it was her, I know it, she wore it out by constantly turning it off and making me turn it back on. So I get home and tell her she broke my cruise.
I keep telling her, "Leave it on, it's not hurting anything."
She says, "I don't like to look at it if it's not on."
I say, "Don't look at it."
She says, "I can't help it, it's too bright!"
Blah, Blah, Blah...
Anyway, to make a long story longer, I didn't want to ask another cruise question on here since there were so many answers already and went to work perusing the plethy of cruise queries. Or something like that.
I found this one from Prof. Davis and thought I'd give it a try. Even though it is a simple procedure, imagine what it would cost to take it to your favorite Saab dealer and tell them your cruise doesn't work!
It worked like a charm and I apologized to my better half and reminded her how much money I save by scouring the 9000 BB looking for cures and cheap quick fixes. Good, I get to keep the computer.
Amazing is the one word to describe the quantity and quality of information.
Thanks to contributing editors like this and many others, I will hope to continue to enjoy a mostly pain-free Saab ownership experience. I stress the word hope and have my fingers crossed.

>"My '91 had adjustable switches, which needed adjusting every year or so, and my parts manual shows the part numbers for '91 and '94 to be the same. Depress the clutch pedal and pull the switch plunger out fully, which will produce multiple clicking noises in the process. When you return the clutch pedal to rest the switch should be in adjustment.
The same procedure works for the brake switch."
Thanks again everybody!
