My calais is a Auto - converted to Manual. There is no switch on the Clutch - however, there is still the switch on the Brake. Make sure that is on and working correctly. If it is unplugged, the cruise will not engage as it thinks the brakes are on. You can keep your setup with just the brake switch, just means that when its engaged - pushing the clutch will not disable the cruise.

The crusise control is cut off by a switch/valve on the brake pedal box. this valve actually usues a vacume to turn off the cruise control, not an electronic signal. it might be disconnected

think mines hooked up with another of the switches that goes on the brake pedal behind the clutch so its electronic. sorry i cant be of more help, but i think there was just a wire bridged from the negative on one of the switches to the positive on the other and then then positive and negative wires from the cruise control went one to either of the switch (e.g positive to positive terminal on brake switch, negative to negative terminal on clutch switch) then the switches are bridged with a wire going between the remaining 2 terminals.. haha wat a crap explination! hope u work it out anyway, thats just how mines done
