    Default need help with cruise cable adjustment.

    I have installed the cruise module but having problems working out how to adjust the cable to the throttle itself, easy enough to fit the wire end into the throttle lever and the rubber bit that goes into its bracket, but the adjustment part I cant work out, so if anyone can explain it in simple terms, that would be great, got everything else in but just stuck on this last bit.

    thanks.

    G'Day Rony, it's pretty simple - I'll attach the page from the manual as that says it better than I can. Regards.

    Thanks hako, I will give it another try later on when I've got more time to spare.
    One question though, do you just use a plastic tie to hold the cruise cable up against the guard ?
    thanks again

    The cable adjustment was simple, but the cruise control is not working properly yet, it worked once no problems then nothing.
    I have checked the brake lights their working, swapped over the small relay made no differance, the crs light comes up on dash ok, so I guess its the brake switch is faulty or needs adjustment.

    No luck with the brake switch, is there a way to by pass the cruise brake switch and just use the brake switch for now ?

    The switch was the only bit that gave me trouble too. I found that using cruise on a long trip allowed you to comfortably drive for 4 hours before stopping for a cuppa by removing the need to be constantly glancing at the speedo and adjusting your speed. Much more relaxed way of travelling.

    Yeah mate I think it will be much better than the speed alert beeping its head off all the time, got to go up to Melbourne today so great chance to test it out.

    Thanks for your help.
