Cruise control lost
Hi all,
I fitted an original Rover Harmon Kardon Loom, Amp and Sub to my 75. I also fitted a new double din system and removed my dashboard trim to replace it with the original real wood dashboard. After completion, everything was perfect. However, on a run down the local dual carriageway, my cruise control switch lights up but no cruise control light on the instrument panel. I did remove the instrument panel to fix a problem with my heater matrix but gutted I've now lost my cruise control. Does anyone have any ideas ? The cruise control was perfect until i added my new original rover bits. The loom was changed, straight forward but found i have an extra grey/white plug i didn't have on the original wired loom. I don't know what its for but not too worried because mine didn't have it . Have i disturbed something....? Any Ideas ? 03, 75 diesel Connie....sorry, forgot to say its a manual Thank you Last edited by chambl01; 17th May 2020 at 10:52.. Reason: Added text |

I'd like to offer a suggestion but as it has nothing to do with any work you have carried out and so I'm worried I will feel or be humiliated because your fault has nothing to do with what I am thinking of. I'm not even sure if the item I'm thinking of would even give the results that are being experienced.
So do I offer a suggestion or not? Check the switches at the top of the clutch pedal if a manual and brake pedal have not become dislodged. macafee2 |

If the OP's cruise was factory and worked before, I wonder if he's disturbed the clutch switch Brian |

Either that or the double din has upset things...

Assuming you have a manual gearbox then you may have pulled the clutch pedal up thus knocking the switch out, simple to adjust, push the clutch pedal down with your right hand and with your left hand simply push the switch down, it will make a series of clicking noises as you press it down, then slowly let the clutch pedal out after youve brought your left arm back out.
Before you do this you need to find it and being a contortionist certainly helps, it sits on top of the clutch pedal, there is also one atop of the brake pedal however I've not heard of this one giving peeps any probs. If you have an auto then it is the switch above the brake pedal and is adjusted the same way. |

Column 5 of the SA string controls Xenons and 04 model year Column 6 of the SA string controls :- Cruise control = 8 Traction control = 4 V8 diagnostics = 2 2 speed cooling fan = 1 Won't confuse people with doing the possible hexadecimal strings for those combinations. You are more likely to be correct on your diagnosis anyway Take care

Cruise Control now fixed - Thank you
Quote:
Thank you to those who replied. Its now fixed. Macafee2, Tricky and Marinabrian were bang on. It was indeed the switch under the Clutch. I don't know how i disturbed it, but moved it back and absolutely perfect. You certainly do have to contorsion your body to sort it, but it only takes a mere few minutes from start to finish. Quote me a "very happy" man Thank you |
