Default Cruise control not working - where to start

It just doesn't do anything.
Not sure if it is the actuator, or that is doesn't get a signal.

Need suggestions where to start looking.

it's because your ABS isn't working properly

Well, the cruise never worked (last 2 years). But during that time we had
a bad ABS module (recently changed). Then all codes gone (but maybe not tried to use cruise control). The ABS sensor was destroyd only a few days ago.

Are Cruise Control and ABS Module linked? If so, we first wait until all ABS issues (sensor) are resolved and check Cruise.

yes they are linked. i disabled my ABS by pulling the fuse and that killed the CC too.

disclaimer: pulling the fuse to disable the ABS won't work for every car. it somehow worked on mine but didn't work on another post facelift that was a 1.8t
