Cruise control light flashing.

[Glen Harper]

What causes the cruise light to flash on and off continuously on a 2004 Olds Alero with a 4 cyl.

It could mean that the cruise control is disabled. Is the check engine light on?

No check engine light and when I started it today it was off.

This might be your issue …

Alero with the following conditions:
Turn Signals flash erratically when manual or automatic headlights are on.
No horn condition and when horn is depressed the cruise control light blinks while horn is depressed.
Cruise control operated erratically or has no operation.
All turn signal lights illuminate when left or right signal is made when headlights are on and flash at a rapid rate.

Under the hood on the drivers side next to the air cleaner box there is a small black box the size of a match pack that is supposed to be screwed into the inner fender. There is an issue with the bolt snapping off from age and this is a critical ground point for the circuit breaker that controls the above functions.

If your circuit breaker becomes ungrounded this will cause the above problems and also drive one crazy.
