Cruise Control has not worked in quite awhile on my 97 Passat TDI.
Recently replaced my brake light switch due to inoperable brake lights which now function properly. (Is a two wire switch-usually black-have a part # of 191945515B)
In researching this ran across info that there is another switch above the brake switch-usually blue in color-that feeds info to the ECU for the cruise control. Gives info to the ECU (which controls the CC) on the brake pedal position. What is that switch called and does anyone have a part number?
There is also a switch on the clutch pedal. I believe it is part # 1H0927189D that IDParts.com refer to as a clutch pedal cruise control switch. https://www.idparts.com/clutch-pedal-cruise-control-switch-a3b4a4-early-p-3465.html Can someone confirm this is the correct switch for the clutch pedal?
From the research I've done all three switches must be working properly for the cruise control to be operational. I am waiting for the weather to improve and then will hook car up to VCDS and check things out prior to ordering.
For anyone researching this later I came across this excellent thread for using VCDS for cruise control issues: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?
Last question is if the Passat has an interlock or safety mechanism that requires the clutch to be depressed prior to starting the car. Both my Passats will start without depressing the clutch when in neutral. Haven't tried to start the car without depressing the clutch when in gear?? My 98 Jetta does require depressing the clutch prior to starting-changeover year?.
Thanks
