Cruise Control Troubleshooting - 02 Civic

Hello, I have a 2002 Civic EX (2 dr, aut.). My cruise control light stays on and my speedometer doesn't work and also as a result the engine light comes on. If you disconnect the battery, the engine light goes away but the cruise light stays on and after a while the engine light comes back on.

Do you guys have any ideas?

Thanks, Dave.

Hi Jeff,

See I don't think that's the case. What happened with this vehicle was that I installed an alarm/starter on the car. Now for about a year I was driving it and there was no problems. After that, the cruise light began to come on periodically. And after a while it stayed on for good. See, now i thought there might have been something wron with my instalation of the alarm, so the other day I removed everything leaving only the bypass module on the car. But that didn't solve the problem. The reason that I mentioned the two problems together is that they are totally related. When the cruise light comes on (which is 99% of the time) the speedometer doesn't work, when the cruise light goes out by itself (the remaining 1% of the time) the speedometer catches the signal and shows the correct speed for a split second and then cruise light comes back on and the speedometer loses the signal and reads zero again. It kind of flickers, you know what I mean? Kinda like having a short of some sort. Anyways, I hope my description was better this time around and you understand my problem better. I also totally understand that it extremelly difficult to troubleshoot over messages back and forth, so any help you might have is greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Dave.

No, I didn't try that. Can you please help with that?
