VR/VS Commodore Series ii Acclaim Cruise Control??

[vscom88]

i recently bought a vs s2 acclaim and the cruise control dosnt work. iv changed the fuses over but still nothing. a mate of mine with a vr acclaim has the problem. how can this be fixed without spending hundreds taking it to a auto elec?

also when the car was first bought it used to be able to do burnouts on take off + standstills .. ever since i been putting the V power fuel in it, its been driving really crappy, taking off slowly wont do good burnouts ..

i thought it mite have been because my front pads are next to nothing but i dont think that has to do with anything,.

For the cruise control check that all stoplight bulbs are working as one blown can stop it working. Also there is a brake switch on the brake pedal to check.
Do a code check - sound like your auto is in Limp Home Mode.

Good Luck.

thanks, the highmount stop light dosnt work, the globe was burnt out when i got it and when i did my rear speakers i just took it out all together.

i used to drive a exec series 2 wagon wich always burns out the cruise control fuse and the highmount stop globe on that dosnt work either.

as for the auto, it used to run sweet as and not even a week later it just lost a hole heep of power, i used to trash the station wagon alot, nearly did the trans on it even and it still goes like new

Glad to see someone has a lot of respect for there Commodores

[vscom88]

all young commodore drivers love there burnouts

No they Don't. I'm only on my Red P's and wouldn't do them due to the fact i don't have a stable enough income to be buying new tires every 6months and anything else that wants to stuff up from doing them. Even if i did have the stable income i still wouldn't because i have enough respect for my Commodore. Its people like you that make it hard for every other P plater out there!

[vscom88]

a new engine isnt expensive. im only a first year apprentice and i get shit all pay, i can still afford to fix my engine if something goes wrong, its the p platers who hot there car up n cant drive it that makes it harder for us to get our p's not me, they have big v8s and cant handle them and get wrapped around a tree

hey, this probably wont help, but, I got a vs series 2 bout 3 weeks ago n i had the same problem, i took it 2 the guy i bought it off n as it turns out i just wasnt doin it rite. It mite just b me but i think the vs cruise control system is a lil strange, with the on/off button and the set button, the on light doesnt turn on until youve set the speed, or is that just my retarded vs

[vscom88]

its the actual switch, the wires are burnt out n could probs be solderd on with extra wire or just get a switch from the wreckers, that fixed my issue, the green ON light comes on, then the ornage light comes ON when u set the speed i think, iv been using cruise in my wagon and thats what it does

[vscom88]

i think u gotta be doing 40 or 50 atleast to set the speed aswell, but yea it was the wires that were burnt out. ripped it all apart n had a look

[Toddlez]

ive neva seen a green light in my vs, i gotta set the speed n hope that the orange on light comes on, if it doesnt i press the on button n try it again n usually that does the trick

[vscom88]

well in my exec wago, i got told the orange light comes on when u set the speed but when i press the "on" button the green "ON" light turns on and then i press set for the speed ... the fuse always burns out in it to idk wats goin on there, if i dont flick it on and off then the fuse is ok but i dont have that problem in my new vs .. hmm

[Toddlez]

lol maybe its a pirate curse??

[vscom88]

lol its all genuine, dad bought the car brand new n ruined it n then gave it to me to do wat i like with it

[Toddlez]

well could b worse, at least ur old man gave u a car worth havin. My 1st car was the worst example of an xe falcon in the world. no cruise control in that bad boy

[vscom88]

it dosnt drive, not anymore lol sump has a hole in it, iv got the red vs acclaim now, that thing looks pretty sweet, my first car and my dream car

[Toddlez]

yea commodores r the $h!t, im neva get anotha falcon eva again, 2's enough 4 1 lifetym
