fitting cruise control help

[bandit10]

ive been trying to fit factory cruise control to my car, all the wiring was already there for it, the plug was in the engine bay loom and the plug was under the steering wheel for the control stalk.
I have fitted the cruise control module and a brand new control stalk it turns on and the dash light lights up so say it is on but it will not set/activate what am i doing wrong?? any ideas?? i have plugged in the relay that was missing in the fuse box.
I thought with all the wiring already being there it would just be a case of plug it all in.

any ideas would be great thanks.

yes it has the wiring there mate, ive already connected up the control stalk and the module

[bandit10]

thanks for that mate, by the looks of that diagram i have the electrical release switch missing.

nathanwright - mine had the plug taped up in the wiring loom on the passenger side, might be different to yours tho as mine is a VS 5ltr

[nathanVY]

ok cool so it was taped up and hidden? is yours an exec?

no it a SS, it was taped but not really hidden its a large plug you will be able to see it if its there.
I had to un-tape it to get the wiring long enough to reach the module position, but the plug was visible whilst it was still taped.

its a standard early vn/p brake switch... you will find in most wrecks make sure you get the circular clip it sits in when you get the switch

will do, thanks for your help.

[nathanVY]

its not this one is it?

[bandit10]

no, thats your tacho pulse wire

[bandit10]

The cruise plug is about 35mm wide 20mm deep and has about 5 wires going to it mate. Doesnt look like its in your loom from that pic.

[nathanVY]

ah damn it. thanks for your help guys.

There needs to be 2 brake switches installed.One is a backup in case the other one fails to cancel the cruise control for any reason.

Re the second brake switch - it can be "temporarily" bypassed by simply connecting the two wires in the (spare plug) that goes to the CC second brake switch so that it makes a circuit. Locate the plug - it will be close to the 'normal' brake switch and has 2 cables - a pink cable and a brown cable. Bridge the connector to simulate the brake switch. This is just a temporary test procedure to make the CC think it has the second brake switch installed.!!!!

thanks for the extra info, ill give that a try just until i can get hold of a release switch.
