Re: 4kq Cruise control doesn't work

Thanks, I will try this.  Another lister mentioned the vacuum lines that
go to the pedals but I already replaced them.  The switch I haven't
checked yet though.  How did you short with a paper clip?  Is it obvious
when they come out.  I am picturing in my mind a switch that when it hits
the pedal(ground) it shorts ubt is otherwise open so if this was so I
would need to use alligator clips to short them.  Maybe I'll see what you
mean hwen I get in there to take a look.
	Thanks
