no cruise

[sho4life]

i replaced the module under hood, both switches fuses good. what else could it be?

Identify your car including transmission.

If it's an MTX with the old cruise setup, check the vacuum line that goes under the dash to the pedal switch (IIRC for the clutch but CRS strikes!). I've had two of those go out over the years.

Only other possibility is the clockspring. I also remember something about if the cruise & horn both don't work, it's the clockspring.

My 90 has a habit of popping off the throttle body. There's a black line that connects to it that can sometimes come off.

Same boat here...horn works..fuses good..cable is on throttle..the line is hooked up to the brake switch..any other things to look at..was working for 4 years till the other day it just quit..???

Check the vacuum line more closely. Both of mine had a crack right at the connector.

Are you saying the line to the brake pedal...was just thinking that the clutch pedal could be contacting that line and over time wear...are we on the same page..???

Mine just aged, and developed a crack starting at the end where it fit on the ******.

Vacuum is a key component for that old cruise system used on the MTXs, unlike the electronic system used on the ATXs. All three of my older Gen 1 & 2 SHOs had cruise issues, with the '94 having a bad clockspring, found with the inop horn (which also kills power to the buttons). Never had one of the actual cruise units go bad.

I'll take a good look for cracks then...thanks

 

[sho4life]

its a atx, 94, horn works, so check a switch by brake *** a hose by throttle body?

 

[projectSHO89]

Check for an open SCDS since it's an ATX.

for my 94 if you look at the connector that connects to the module from the top, the last two pins on the left are melted. Any way to fix that? i was thinking about getting a new connector from a j/k and change it out somehow. Mine is an atx but what is a SCDS? So to the orginal poster check your connector.

Didn't mean to hi-jack this thread, but just thought i'd chime in as the cruise experts seem to be here..anyhoo...found my problem..all lines are good..no cracks..none disconnected..however..the vacuum canister that drives the cable to throttle is split in half..looks like there was a V clamp holding it together..3/4 of it rusted right off..anyone have one of those..??

 

[sho4life]

so its the connector od scds whatever taht is?

 

[sho4life]

checked that plug under the master cylinder looks , fine no fluid on it... so theres a switch on the brake pedal? gotta be it!!

 

[sho4life]

wasnt there a trick with the paperclip to test something?

Hi folks, dont mean to hi jack, but does any one have a pi of what goes here on the brake pedal? mine is a 93 atx and ther is "some thing missing", just have no clue what used to be there, thanks!

 

[waldo]

sorry. spell check bad
