The cruise control in my 2004 3.2 DID stopped working a while ago (no light on dash as well), so based on research I assumed that the clock spring was faulty. I have now replaced the clock spring and although the indicator light on the dash now comes on when I activate the cruise lever, the actual control is still not operating.
Before I go to the dealers for a diagnosis, please can anyone perhaps advise me if there is also some other resetting option which I should follow up on to reactivate the system.
My cruise control worked perfectly before the switch became faulty, so I am at a loss why it has not been rectified with the replacement switch now operational.
I would appreciate any feedback.
Thanks
Malcolm
In follow up, I took the vehicle onto the open road this morning and tried it again - all seems OK now. Although I am not sure what I did right this time, I am most relieved that it is working properly and the effort and cost was not in vain.

Yes it is applying the brakes to curb the speed. The cruise control on the gen4 is not as smooth as it was on the old gen3 in this regard I feel.deonengel wrote:hi guys, just a question? traveling on the highway with cruise control on - about 110km/h, on a downhill, the cruise control start 'hunting/surge'?

Remember cruise control only work above 80km/h I think.Malcolm wrote:In follow up, I took the vehicle onto the open road this morning and tried it again - all seems OK now.

I used my CC yesterday in a 60 zone and set it at 65, it worked but it ran down the hills and sped up easily.CATS wrote:Remember cruise control only work above 80km/h I think.Malcolm wrote:In follow up, I took the vehicle onto the open road this morning and tried it again - all seems OK now.

Minimum speed is 40km/h (approx).
It doesn't employ the brakes, only compression.
On a down-hill, where set speed is close to the free-wheel speed, the cc will hunt. Basically the throttle response is too big. The cc gives too much throttle, the car immediately over-speeds and the throttle has to back off again. Hence the feeling of surging.

Ok. Then it only works above 60km/h or 40km/hKurtG wrote:I used my CC yesterday in a 60 zone and set it at 65, it worked but it ran down the hills and sped up easily.CATS wrote:Remember cruise control only work above 80km/h I think.Malcolm wrote:In follow up, I took the vehicle onto the open road this morning and tried it again - all seems OK now.

??? My 80 was wrong. I know there is a cut off speed as I once tried experimenting with it on Kruger Park stretch to try and use it as a crawl control feature keeping a slow but steady speed, but it would not engage as the speed was too low.CATS
