Re: Cruise Control

Mine doesn't work either. I've already replaced the vacuum hoses and the brake switch under the dash. I'm wondering if it's the multifunction (blinker) lever.

First make sure the GAGES fuse is good.

Then unplug the servo which is located at the left front of the engine compartment.

Use an ohmmeter to measure across the
light blue wire with a black stripe, and the tan wire.

What did the ohmmeter read?


Happy Racing!



How bout those too scared to drive without headlights in the daytimeand the ones that need headlights for a little rain

What should it read? Must better to know what your aiming for when we one goes to test rather than testing, reporting back to you then having to wait for your reply about it being hi/low or good.

Re: Cruise Control

I have this same problem. However, I suspect the problem to be in my cruise control module. I didn't realize there was one in our cars, and I'm not sure where it is yet, but somewhere there is a little cruise control computer that handles the cruise control.

I figure this is where my problem is because I have vacuum, have already replaced my turn signal lever, and I know my brake switch / vacuum at the brake is ok. That only leaves two parts, the servo, or the module, and I think the module is a more likely candidate here.

That is an electronic controller & a 3rd gen cruise control is mechanical vacuum controlled, other than the turn signal lever & brake interrupt switch.

Re: Cruise Control

I think I saw someplace that it's (module) a black box on the pass. side of car ? I might look into that also cause everything else seems ok ? but I could be missing something
