Did you have cruise 'enabled' via Tech II after installing the stalk and brake switch?

Unplugged clutch switch this evening and bridged the two connections within the plug to complete the circuit thus bypassing the switch.............................................still no cruise  :'(

It's got me thinking back to when it first stopped working and what else I have done to the Mig.
At about the same time a brake light bulb blew and I replaced it.
I also wired in twin towing electrics around the same time, does anyone think either of these two are in any way related to my lack of cruise?

Surely you don't mean disconnect all the wiring to the twin electrics Mark?
I'm going to get some brake light bulbs from Vx tomorrow as I'm sure the bulb I used was not a Vx one.

By the way I see the price has gone back up for your MV6  ::)

A chat with a tech2 would point you in right direction.

Thinking about it, if the ecu was told its now a manual then I would of thought it does need a clutch switch.

I must admit, to show my ignorance, that I never knew a manual could have cruise control! :o :o  I suppose this is because I have only ever had cruise control with automatic cars! ::) ::)

Yup, manuals can as well.  Arguably not as useful (as clutch turns it off), but still nice on a long run
