OK, cruise control (or lack of) is starting to annoy me now. I have checked the ASCD switch on the brake pedal, and I have battery voltage across it, and moving the brake pedal makes and breaks the circuit. The brake light switch also works, again with low resistance so a good contact. I have had the steering wheel apart, and cleaned them and then run a resistance test on all 4 switches, which all work. The clock spring is only 4 months old, so I doubt it's that BUT, I was going to check terminals 102 and 103 on the ECU lead to check continuity of the steering wheel controls through the clock spring and then to the ecu, but have you seen the size of the terminals?!? I think I will have to bite the bullet and get another clock spring, even though the air bag system is fine, the audio controls/wipers/horn etc all work perfectly. On the workshop manual, because mine is an auto, there is no clutch switch to disengage the cruise. According to the manual, this has a bypass, but I don't know if the loom is physically different on the auto, or whether they use the same loom on all and just have a bypass jumper link installed?
The symptom was I can't get the CRUISE light to come on, it went flaky and then after a couple of days it died. The SET light has never come on since I have owned it, but I didn't know if it was supposed to.
I do wonder if the rear axle speed sensors have anything to do with this, but it isn't throwing up a p0501/2/3/4 error, although the ABS still works fine, as does 4LO, albeit the t/box switches are in need of replacement, but it clunks over from 2wd to 4hi and 4lo ok, just has the flashing wait thing going on for 4HI.
Anyways. Enough playing for today. Next thing to fit is another passenger door handle (internal) after my fix with the industrial glue didn't hold. I managed to get another one from ebay for £16 delivered, which is a lot better than the £50 that some were charging
