Hi helpful gurus of all things.... 

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

[HockeyDave55]

No, it's a 2000, 3.0 with a cable!!!! Man, that cable caused me problems!

[tunnie]

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???

[jonny2112]

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.

Ok, I could be wrong but the cruise switch is the one with the big lump on it?

[HockeyDave55]

I'll check the brake switch tomorrow at work....

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