cruise control still doesnt work ..... Why???---help

ok so after a year of trying to fix it ... It still doesnt work
it would turn on but can't set the speed

The only time i can get it to work is after I reset the battery but it would only work alittle
If I restart the car it would stop working

Can someone give me a complete wiring diagram for the unit so I can take it apart ....?
thx

I hate to go with the obvious, but when did the problem start? Was it when you put your LED tails in?

This is a big problem with LED tail lights on all makes of car. The cruise circuit thinks that the brakes are on and won't engage all it takes is a little floating voltage in the circuit. Not enough to light the lights, but enough that the cruise shuts down.

Adding diodes can help. They are one-way electrical "valves"

Another problem could be the clutch cut off switch if your are running a MT

My dad put LED's in his suburban and the cruise stopped working, I put the old bulbs in for him and problem was solved. The system doesn't like LED's and wont let the cruise work properly.
