Cruise stopped working
« on: 06 May 2008, 23:46:38 »
Comming home on the motorway the other day, being nice and legal and frugal at about 65 mph, going up an incline, the cruise suddenly dropped out and now wont engage  :(

I guess i need to check the pedal switches for continuity.  The end of the bowden cable is still attached to the throttle body.

Any other bright ideas out there?

No error messages or warning lights.

Would it be advisable to replace with a 53 plate elite? ;D

Had a very similar problem with my elite.I removed the cowling by steering wheel and found that the connector from the stalk had come slightly loose.Took apart and then pushed back tight ..all sorted and worked again..hope yours is also a simple fix.

Also worth checking brake light switch and clutch switch if manual.
