Isn't it on the passenger side. Atleast it is with the non SE models. I dont think anyones even works anymore except a few. Ray greens probably does...lol

My 84 GSL's cruise control box was behind the drivers seat, til I took it out and put it in the wrong bag. Anyone have an extra?

Check your vacuum connection/source to the unit under the hood, also I think there are switches at the clutch and brake pedals that if not adjusted properly may disable it.
On my truck, there is a vacuum hose to to the brake pedal switch.

Both my 85GSL and the 85SE work perfectly. I find them very useful even on short drives down the freeway. But I've never had a problem and I've never debugged one. I dread the day...

I hope this thread produces something for the archive, for that unhappy day when I have to fix one.
