Hello,
I have a problem fitting cruise control head unit to my -94 X20XEV Omega. Problem is that I don't even find connector wire to cruise head unit wich is under bonnet??  :-/

So do -94 models even have electrial wiring for cruise?

And sorry my bad english, I'm from Finland and my english skills just aren't so good as yours  

A pic below (no wiring at all??), just a place to cruise unit..

Don`t believe the GLS model had the loom for cruise fitted

[JoGo]

Actually in Finland we have only GL and CD-models and I have that GL.

My dad own's other -96 GL 2.0 8v (X20SE) Omega and I found a connector to cruise from my dad's car but not on my own  :-?
And my friend had also Opel Omega 2.0 16v GL and in has car also was option to add cruise  :-?

[JoGo]

So, because I didn't found wiring loom for cruise from my car I started to fit it to My dad's -96 GL 2.0 8v (X20SE).

I added cruise motor under bonnet and connect wire to thortle body. After that I put new cruise stalk to it's place and clutch switch in place.
After that I go to test drive and  .. cruise didn't work.
I don't have any clue why it doesn't work. I have allready check all connections etc.
I also checkked wiring diagrams and I notised that cruise is controlled by a relay K14 on my model. Where is this relay if could check that is it in place.

I hope you understand my language and answer to my questions

Still help needed!  :-?

[Onkel Per]

K14 isn't a relay, but the Cruise Control itself.

I have put a Vectra/Omega Cruise Control in my old Vectra A/Cavalier Mk. III without any problems.
Pictures and drawings can be seen here (sorry, it's in danish)

have you fitted the four pin brake switch ?? :-/

[JoGo]

have you fitted the four pin brake switch ?? :-/

No, becuse I have only 2wires coming to brake switch. 4pin brake switch is needed only ~from 98->.

Should I just program cruise to ecu with Tech in service??

The earlier engines with throttle cables, their ECUs have no concept of cruise control  :-/

If you have access to Tech2, doing a live data read of the Cruise ECU may help

[Onkel Per]

Thats right, you don't need a 4pin brake switch. But to keep the two circuits (breaklight and Cruise Control) apart, you should use it.

Here is a couple of things to try out:

Check that you have connected the the Cruise Control wire on the correct pin.  Othervise it vill get +12v all the time = break activate - stop cruise Control.

Try to shortcircuit the clutch switch. should only be disconnected when clutch pedal is pressed.
