Hi helpful gurus of all things.... ;D
Ok, I fitted the cruise control and nothing is happening!
Should I get a light on the dash?
I have fitted both switches and I can't see that I've done anything wrong???
Any ideas???
-
what year of car??
if is DBW need tech2 to active
-
No, it's a 2000, 3.0 with a cable!!!! Man, that cable caused me problems!
-
Going by throttle cable issues he had, guess its a 3.0
No light on dash, you get the full kit from here?

Yes, yes, yes and yes...
-
Brake switch fitted correctly. ??? New or S/H. ??? If the latter I`d suspect the switch

I did get a S/h brake switch but the car already had one fitted... I could put it on.????
Is there a way to test the switches???
-
When you say there was already a brake switch present, does that mean you didn't fit the cruise switch you'd bought? The original may not have been for cruise?

Odds-on you had a 2-pin switch fitted. When fitted and connected it looks the same as a 4-pin (which you need) ;)

As RobG says, you need the 4 pin (two pairs of contacts inside) for your cruise. It'll only take you a couple of minutes to swap over switches. :y

Ok, I could be wrong but the cruise switch is the one with the big lump on it?
-
I'll check the brake switch tomorrow at work....

2-pin & 4-pin look the same externally when fitted ;)

Me too :D
Hopefully that's all it'll take anyway :y

Sorry, been to dog training.
It's been raining loads so not been out to the car, I know... The switch is inside....
I'm going out there in a bit..... Hold on! ;-)
-
I'm gonna start pulling my hair out soon!
Pulled the old switch out (breaking one of the tabs) and I guess the 4-pin switch goes in the upper hole?
Well now the 4-pin switch won't stay in the hole!!! There is no red locking piece like on the 2-pin, Should there be???
-
Should look like this

-
Yeah, exactly the same, just no red piece...
Anyway, it,s raining again but I need the car tomorrow so I went out with my hodge kit and the switch is in!
And guess what..... Took the car for a drive round the block and it works !!!!!! Ye-haw!!!! :-) it works at 15mph and up! Man! How much is this car gonna fight me???
As I said, I did bodge it in so, tomorrow I will make a better fix for no locking piece.
Can I sleep now??? /-:
-
BTW... What's the green piece???
