Re: CC problems & location of CC Module

[Roland Broberg <broberg@execpc.com>]

Robert,
Actually you describe just what I did before posting.  There is a vacuum
leak, but it is caused by the failure of the relay inside the pump. 
That relay functions fine with an artificial 12 Volts that comes from
the module.  Without that signal the relay stays open and releases the
vacuum with it.  As long as the cruise set button is held the pump runs
and attempts to hold the dashpot back.  On release the pump stops and
vacuum is lost.  I've tested all the lines and the brake valve.  All are
fine.  I can fake the signal and all works well but that kills a safety
circuit.  We don't want any unintended acceleration now, do we!
