[s-cars] Cruise Control Problems

[Brian Montgomery]

Hi Randy,
I had the same problem except it's totally failed at present. When my
mechanic got it going, which he did for awhile, he replaced the 2 vacuum
sensors down by the clutch / brake pedals. Now, it's totally dead.
Mechanic asked if I ever hear the control unit clicking when I try to
engage the cruise control. I said I don't think so. He said I should
hear it coming from the glove box area.

Have your friend listen for the clicking (probably a relay picking), if
he hears it then it's probably the sensors. If not, then probably the
control unit. Although I have to say I can't ever remember hearing a
clicking sound when it did work.

Maybe someone that does have a working cruise control can listen for
this and report back if they hear a relay pick when the cruise control
engages.

Hi Guys,

A buddy of mine ( 94//S4, Blue! , non lister, but convinced me to buy an
S-Car !) is having trouble with his cruise control.  Trouble engaging
and it will kick out on him at random times.  Does anyone have any
thoughts on what he can do to rectify or what the problem is.

Thanks, the list is the best, really appreciate any feedback and we have
4 S-cars ( 5 including below) in our little prairie city of 185,000.

On another note, local dealer( on my recommendation) posted a 94 S4 on
the S-Car classifieds, with the exchange, it is pretty cheap and the car
looks pretty good. If anyone interested, let me know, of course, you
will have to suffer with the metric speedo !!!!..... and sorry, we are
not close to the North Pole and I don't know Santa or Wayne Gretzky !!!

Take care,


Randy( waiting for winter on 16's) Lewis

ps, if any of you are fisherman or bird ( ducks/geese) hunters, we have
some of the best of both in the planet.  Check out my Province's
