Re: cruise control help needed
i just rebuilt the servo behind the headlight just in case it was leaking air i cleaned the gasket area and put rtc around it and coated the screws and with a coat of super glue just in case air was getting out...i removed the needle pin and and metal plunger in the casing and cleaned the metal plunger and added some anti seize just in case. once back together it held air perfectly so as a secondary measure i put a jumper wire in the brake shut off switch...and nothing im kinda leaning towards the switch on the lever how in the world does the come out, please dont tell me the wheel stuff has to come out! is there a way to test it without removing it? thanks again!
