2004 with 6speed conversion and malone 1.5 with cruise control fix.
Cruise control stopped working. I did a lot of searching but did not find a solid thread to work through it with.
So far I have seen the suggestion to check fuse number 5. It's fine.
I have also seen mention that the switch on the clutch fails. I pulled it out and didn't see a way to disassemble the switch without risking breaking it so I just greased the shaft and put it back. If the clutch switch works like it should when starting the car (will not allow start unless clutch pressed in) this would eliminate the switch a a problem area right?
Then on to VCDS. It is frustrating people mention testing in VCDS but do not say where to go in the software. I floundered around for a long time and came back in and with some more searching I found this article at ross-tech that went through.
It is in group 1 for engine, then to measuring blocks and go to block 6. The second and fourth fields will indicate with 1's and 0's what switches the computer is seeing.
After fiddling around with it a bit it seems that it is reacting to the cruise switch being toggled, as well as the resume button and pressing the brake pedal.
What do I test next?
