Garyc Posted June 9 Posted June 9 Hi I purchased a cruise control kit off the usual sites, standard fit to the steering wheel, all screws and fixings as advised, 2 wired from the unit to the car, live wire into the multi block connector next to the blue wire, black wire spliced into the earth wire, cruise control turns in but will not activate, what am I missing or is there something else I need to connect to ?
Gamith Posted June 9 Posted June 9 (edited) That sounds like everything - so when the engine is on and you push the end of the cruise control stalk in (towards the steering column) does the green light on the dashboard come on. You can read more on this thread to check everything: Edited June 9 by Gamith 1
Garyc Posted June 9 Author Posted June 9 Yes it lights up green saying cruise control but nothing engages
Nictheboxer Posted June 9 Posted June 9 On my car, at higher speed you pull the lever to you and the car will cruise at current speed, push it for accelerate, lift for cancel. I am sure you knew this?
Garyc Posted June 9 Author Posted June 9 That's interesting as the instructions say push down to engage, up to accelerate and resume and pull forward to cancel, I will try it again tomorrow.

Gamith Posted June 9 Posted June 9 The two main things are to get to a steady speed, say 40mph and to stay at that for a few seconds at least. Then push the button in to start the cruise control (green light) and press the stalk downwards for a couple of seconds to set the car to keep the current speed. Then take your foot off the accelerator. You can increase the cruise speed (up to 71 or 72) by flicking the stalk up, or holding it up. You can reduce the cruise speed by flicking it down. It will cut off if you press the brakes, pull the stalk towards you or press the button to turn it off. If you want to resume a previous set speed, and you haven't turned it off you can do so by pressing the stalk up. It does take some practise as it seems to need a few seconds to register the command. Try it on a quiet bit of road.
