Why is my cruise control light blinking?

The cruise control light in my Subaru keeps blinking and I’m not sure what to do. Should I bring my car to a mechanic? I never use my cruise control so I’m really confused about why it’s even blinking in the first place.

When the cruise control light starts blinking in a
Subaru
, it typically indicates some kind of problem with your vehicle. There are a few different possible issues that this light could be warning you about:
  • A faulty speed sensor
  • Issues with your brake pedal switch
  • A blown fuse
  • Faulty mechanical components
Your vehicle should still be safe to drive as long as you don’t use your cruise control. But it’s a good idea to talk to a mechanic about the problem ASAP so you can have the issue addressed before it worsens.
You can make room in your budget for unexpected car repairs by saving money on other car expenses—like car insurance. The
