If you'd checked what I said to check then you'd have found the issue by now... Get out your multimeter and check those pins... It's a really simple system...
Cheers, Tim

On the cruise control module which is up near the booster... You'll see the back side of the plug... To unplug the plug squeeze the latch down, don't lift it up...

check as suggested by Timmya -
ignition on - pin 4 at cruise module green/white wire 12v power when brake applied/power off if clutch pushed in while holding brake on -no power with brake released -(brake switch is normally open at rest - clutch switch is normally closed at rest ) pin 9 at cruise module light green 12v power - looses power when brake applied - feeds from switch on brake master cylinder (green/red wire & light green) - it is common for this switch to fail and stop cruise control - to test if this is problem bridge wiring at switch and test drive with CAUTION - ie. no traffic and turn off with cruise on/off switch. - when operating cruise control vehicle will try to continue driving with foot on brake as this is cruise cancelling switch....disconnecting will stop cruise operation... |

Red probe in the green wire... Black probe on the body or battery negative...

set multimeter to DC voltage -
20 volt scale or higher (or auto if meter has it)- connect black lead to negative battery terminal and red lead to the green wire-use a piece of wire or insert from rear of plug so you dont damage the terminals - or if you have one put a test light to negative battery terminal and probe in the green wire .... |

i bealieve i have a short.. i dont think anything is broken.. was driving along last night fine just tryed cruise control for the sake of it, worked beautiful for about 2-3mins and then it cut out and wouldnt work again for another 5 minutes, and my mate is a 4 year mechanic goes, you have a short somewhere under your dash.

also, forgot to mention.. they did a scan and a faulty speed sensor code came up. so if that helps maybe that could be the problem?

so where do i start there :so where do i start there :S speedo is big part of cruise control - possible sender on gear box ?? is your speedo working ok or not or intermittantly ? code may be current or old code - why did he assume you have short under dash ie. sparks etc ? did you try bridging switch on brake cylinder as suggested before ? when cruise cuts out does cruise on light still operate ? when it cut out was it on and just stopped working or did it just not reset again ? make sure all stop lights work and are correct wattage including eye level light if fitted did wiring to module under bonnet check ok or not ? is air bag light on or not ? |

is your speedo working ok or not or intermittently ? they wiped it and then took it for a drive and rescanned it and it came up. but no my speedo is fine
why did he assume you have short under dash ie. sparks etc ? just assuming as he was in the car and it was working and then stopped and wouldnt set again did you try bridging switch on brake cylinder as suggested before ? i have no idea how to do it and im sorta scared i will fry something.. but how do i go about doing it? when cruise cuts out does cruise on light still operate ? yes the cruise light comes on the "set" doesnt tho. when it cut out was it on and just stopped working or did it just not reset again ? it doesn't set but cruise will display on the dash. make sure all stop lights work and are correct wattage including eye level light if fitted ok. i did replace a bulb after the passenger side blew, with the same one but after that cruise never worked again the same did wiring to module under bonnet check ok or not ? i tryed but i couldnt get a reading off any of them. is air bag light on or not ? the airbag light is fine and the horn works when turning. |
