DerFahrer Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Tough to say, could be a lot of things. Anything from a faulty brake switch (that disengages the cruise when you apply the brakes) to a vacuum problem or a snapped cruise cable...

pamike Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 the day it quit working, it shut off without touching the brakes (if it matters). the round can that the cable goes to, the vac line that goes to this and runs to the pass side is good. are their any other vac lines. when i turn it on the light in the middle of the button lights up.

nipper Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 check the brake light and clutch switch (if applicable). After this it gets a little more complicated. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamike Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 how do i check the brake light. could that little can that the vac hose goes to be bad. i just looked at it and their is a plug next to it with 2 wires a green and a white. what is this for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know how to use a multimeter. i seriously doubt its the "little can that the vac hose goes to " thats bad. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamike Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 yes all the brake lights work good and yes i have a multimeter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 check all the connectors at the brake lights for continuity (and clutch if you have one). There is a cruise control relay someplace that may have gone bad. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamike Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 i just went out and pushed the cruise button and i heard a relay clicking on. does this tell you anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brus brother Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 This is in itself indicative of excellent hearing ability, now I'll let the Nipper chime back in for something more intelligent to say. i just went out and pushed the cruise button and i heard a relay clicking on.does this tell you anything.

nipper Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 This is in itself indicative of excellent hearing ability, now I'll let the Nipper chime back in for something more intelligent to say. hehehehehehe Well it means the coil works, doesnt mean the contacts are any good. There is an inhibitor relay, a main relay (which is what you heard). There is a cruise control pump. The brake switch has 4 termnials to be checked. There is also a diode box somewhere, any of these can cause the cruise to go poof. Its not a complicated system. Unfortunitly not much to do to diagnose it either, asdie from letting the dealer plug into it and see whats what. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamike Posted June 24, 2006 Author Share Posted June 24, 2006 what is the box on the right strut tower. is it the pump. how do i test it. i will test the brake switch as soon an i get a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 i dont htik its the pump as these things are robust. looks like the red/blu wire is hot and the black is ground. Use a meter and check for any opens on that circuit. You can hot wire it maybe to see if it runs. Do you hear a relay click with the cruise on and the brake pressed? nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 what is the box on the right strut tower. is it the pump. how do i test it. i will test the brake switch as soon an i get a chance. When the CC went out on my Loyale the problem turned out to be the shut off switch on the brake pedal. It needed to be adjusted closer to the pedal so when the pedal was in the normal position it would open the switch. Indicating to the CC system that brake was not in use. The switch was seperate from the brake switch. Using your voltmeter, you should be able to see when the switch is open and closed by watching the voltage across the switch.

pamike Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 i tested the brake pedal switch and it works good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamike Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 i tested the 2 relays behind the glove box and they work. i ran a wire from the battery to the pump and it turned on. what else is there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 If the inhibit section is working ok it looks to me there should be 12 volts on pin 15 of the cruise control module. My info shows it to be a Yel/blk wire. There are two fuses involved with the cruise control, #8 and #12. Are they both good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamike Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 where is the cruise module. i only knew of one fuse. are they both in the fuse box under the dash. i will have to check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 The fuses should be in the same location, in the fuse panel. The cruise control module is behind the right kick panel according to my info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamike Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 do you know what the other fuse is labeled as. i only seen one that says cruise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 My info only states one fuse as #8 and the other as #12. It looks like #8 may be marked for the CC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamike Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 #12 is labeled as stop/horn. i looked at all the fuses and they all are good. i pulled the right kick panel and there is just alot of wires. their was 4 or 5 different color plugs but i didn't see no module.

Sorry that the info was not correct. You might try PMing Legacy 777 about this. He would most likely know the answer to this riddle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
