As above my cruise control stopped working after my manual conversion anyone got any ideas ,the lights still work on the dash just nothing happens

Jim

Did you instal all the cruise switches on the pedals? pretty sure it doenst work anyways. In any event cruise control is useless in this day and age, just throw it out and de-clutter the engine bay.

I think you need a manual ASCD (cruise control unit), its next to the ecu.

 

Also worth checking: ( copied from a US site)

 

 

If you have a failing ASCD (a.k.a Cruise Control), check FOUR fuses.This is based on my 1992 EURO SPEC TT
Battery -> Horn Relay (Location : Engine Bay, 10A). If this one is blown, the MAIN cruise control (i.e. on the left pod) will work, but it will NOT be able to set the speed. Seems it cuts continuty from the Set/Reset/accel THROUGH the Horn relay.
Ingition Switch -> ASCD (a.k.a. Cruise Control) Hold Relay (Location : ?). This one makes sense.
Battery -> Stop Lamp Switch (Location : ?). Depressing the brake kills the ASCD, makes sense.
Ingition Switch -> Electronic Speedometer (Location : ?).
And....looking at the complete diagrams, it seems that these fuses are controlling a LOT more than what's labelled on the box (someone told me on an auto the ASCD fuse controls sometimes the BACKUP lights ???)

Mine works fine, and when my car actually starts, I use it all the time.it has saved me from numerous speeding tickets!

Thanks groover ill look into this at the weekend

I use the cruise control in my Bmw for the majority of my daily commute, every single day.

 

It was the one of the first things I binned in the Z though.

mine worked before I removed it.

I spose the thing is Dorset doesn't have a single motorway, just busy a roads and dual carriageways, stop start make cruise damn near useless.
