88xt6joe Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 My cruise control just stopped working. When you push the botton on the dash the light comes on but when you try to set it at speed nothing. Its a 88 gl wagon with 1.8, auto and 177,000 miles. Any ideas on what went wrong. Thanks in advance, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowmastered87GL Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 I believe that the cruise control is vacuum actuated... so maybe the vacuum hose broke or came off?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthsoob Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 I had the same thing happen to my brat. Only thing is I can't find where the hose should go. I don't suppose you could describe the location for both ends? 87 brat with a hitachi carb. By the way, someone told me I have an "aftermarket" cruise on mine. It has the green button on the lower part of the dash and the speed "set" on the steering column. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clantieri Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 I have the same setup, darth. I think that is "dealer installed" ac. Mine is not currently functioning either.... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthsoob Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 There appears to be a plague. Maybe we should get hold of the CDC in Atlanta..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 The CC units all have a brake pedal activated switch to disable the CC when the brakes are applied. I have noticed this switch set very close to being ON all the time. Thus rendering the CC inoperative. Please check it's operation and the gap between it and the pedal. hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
