The check engine light is the major issue ... not the blinking cruise control light. The error codes (example P0XXX) need to be read that caused the check engine light to determine the root cause. If you do not have a OBDII error code reader then take it to an auto parts store ... they usually will read it for free.
Your other option ... especially since the car is not very old ... is to unscrew your gas cap and then screw it back on until you get the clicking sound. If you recently bought gas you may not have screwed the cap on tight enough. This situation can cause the check engine light to go on. Retightening the gas cap will not necessarily immediately turn the check engine light off since the onboard computer usually needs a few trips to clear the error code

Check the codes you probably have a misfire or something else setting code and disabling the cruise

SOURCE: Check engine light came on

I did end up taking my car to the dealership where I bought it. They were great! He knew immediately what the problem was. Of course, they still did a thorough check too.
Anyway, it turned out that the plug to the electronic system had been knocked loose. This caused the check engine light to come on & the cruise control to not work (you were right, if the check engine light is on, cruise doesn't work). As for the door, that was simply the switch plate needing to be adjusted.

SOURCE: Check Engine Light, plus Cruise control indicator Light both on!!

cruise light automatically comes on when there is a malfunction that causes c.e.l to illuminate,this occurs because your accelerator is electronically controled

replace the 2 large rubber o-rings in the intake manifold - passenger side - behind the 2 large plastic valves with electrical connectors. probably 3 or 4" in diameter.

You might try removing the battery connectors for five minutes and replacing back.

If the codes do not disappear, please you might have to get a scanner to do that.

Take the car to Autozone or similar business for a free code read with a scanner. Depending on what turns up, they will be happy to sell you any needed parts.

Subaru legacy 2.0 re mk iv engine management light on and cruise control light flashing? cruise control has stopped working!

You have a vacuum leak check under the hood for a black plastic bulb that has a small vacuum hose and a small linkage going to the throttle body. That small hoe probably bad.

Why are my rpms staying at 1000 when I'm going 40mph?

Does your RPM gauge only go to 1000 and not record anything higher? As far as your check engine...on the Subaru Legacy the check engine usually comes on when there is an issue with something within the emission control sensors...and typically it is an issue with the forward O2 sensor going into the Catalytic Convertor. As a safety feature, the vehicle's cruise control will not work when the check engine light is engaged and the light will flash intermittently. The repair of the forward O2 (oxygen) sensor should run about $150 - $200 to replace the sensor. As with the case with most sensors, you may not notice any performance difference in the vehicle operation but you should have it diagnosed and repaired when possible because overtime the operation can be impacted.

The check engine light stays on and the cruise control light flashes. Please help I am just sick with trying to figure this out. Thank you for all and any help.

when the light is on there is a code most big box parts stores will scan it for free the code will lead you in the direction of the problem and subaru cruise light flashes when the light is on so look at the code and the light will go out

Check engine light on, cruise light flashing

As far as the cruise control light flashing, the light is flashing to tell you that the cruise has been disabled. The vehicle's computer will disable the cruise control from working when certain trouble codes are set in the PCM (main computer), which the computer thinks may cause harm with the cruise engaged.
The check engine light may not be connected to the deer hit. I have seen many times when something like this is a coincidence. That being said, the jarring from the deer hit may have caused a vacuum leak. Or perhaps there is more damage than you might think under the hood.

I have a check engine light on steady, with a flashing cruise control light. Also, the cruise will now not work.

You might try removing the battery connectors for five minutes and replacing back.

Check engine light and cruise lights came on simultaneously.

Sound like the O2's heater circuit may not be working, that will set a code. I am not a big fan of univeral O2's, too many problems with bad connections and the check engine lights coming back on. You may need to use a OEM type sensor to keep the light off.
