2006 Jeep Commander P0582: Cruise Control Stops Working After Set Button Failure

Model: 06 Jeep Commander Fault Code: P0582 Posted: 2018-09-14 13:48

New member here looking for help with a recurring cruise control issue on my 2006 Jeep Commander with a 4.7L engine. The problem began with intermittent cruise disengagement — the system would work normally, then suddenly lose function, with the cruise light turning off. After a short period, I could re-enable it using the set button, but this behavior would repeat within a day or two. Eventually, pressing the set button caused the cruise light to turn off instead of activating the system. Attempting to turn cruise back on directly failed. Restarting the vehicle temporarily allowed me to activate cruise, but only for a short time before the same issue returned. I've diagnosed the fault with code P0582 using an OBD2 scanner. The code is triggered when I hold the key in the 'run' position three times — a known workaround for this model. Interestingly, while the scanner can clear the code, it does not detect P0582 during normal operation. I found one YouTube video related to a 2004 Jeep Cherokee suggesting cleaning both cruise control switch contacts. Could this be applicable to my 2006 Commander as well? Any insights or troubleshooting steps for this specific P05082 code on the 2006 Jeep Commander would be greatly appreciated.
