Cruise Control not working

<< < (2/2)

Hello Dutch,  thanks for the response.

Yes I wonder about the cruise control switch but then during the diagnostic test the switch part seems to pass.  So I think even though I swear I can hear a little micro switch click when I reverse the throttle I may start by taking the tupper ware off and check those throttle cables and switch,  maybe see if I can test the switch.

Dutch,  I found the problem and fixed my cruise control today.  Using the 16 step cruise control diagnostic test it stopped at #6 for throttle cable switch.  On another site somewhere there was a note at the bottom of the cruise control test list that said that the clutch circuit and the throttle circuit share the same wire so if one of them fails the other one will..  Then on another site one guy described how there are two micro switches for the clutch lever and that when he wiggled the clutch lever down it would work.  If he hit bumps while driving it would turn off the cruise control  So I decided that it would be easier to check the clutch lever switches first then go for the throttle cable micro switch next.  When I wiggled my clutch lever down I heard a second click of a micro switch.  I held it down a little and then the Cruise control test passed.  So I took off the little dust cover under my clutch lever and noticed the dual micro switch.  One half of it worked while the one half was not making contact.  I saw the small set screw that probably holds the switch in place and it was a little loose.  I tightened it and then I got clearly two clicks one from each micro switch each time I pulled the clutch lever and the cruise control is now fully functional.  I hope this thread helps someone else.  Always so good when you can save a trip to the mechanic.
