Last year I installed a Euro Full-FIS cluster in my B5 Passat-the proper B5 not B5.5 for the car.
Whenever I do a lamp test, the cruise control light comes on but does not work any other time...I want to know if anyone knows the bits (if any) to enable this lamp to work as it should with cruise control.

P/N 3B0920942

Any help will be appreciated.

Not yet - fuel is too cheap! - 3.2 VR6 R32
There is your answer then...the cruise control light is generated by the engine ECU via a CAN signal to cluster, so if the original ECU doesn't do this, you won't be able to activate the light in the cluster.

Some earlier ECUs never had the warning light function programmed into them.

Ah...thanks for that info. I had no idea it was due to the ECU, looks like I have all the more reason to upgrade to the B5.5 ECU.
