Cruise Control

[B0ND]

Ok, so I tried using my cruise control today and discovered that it isn't working (just bought the car last week). I searched the threads and found some stuff and starting looking in my car.

Call me crazy but isn't the CC control unit supposed to be in there above the other control module?





Anything seem out of place/wrong here?

Forgive the noobie please....

No, There is supposed to be the CC module above the glovebox.
I forgot exactly where in there it was, so I can't say for sure if anything is wrong in there.

Hope this helps.

did u check if you have that clutch switch working properly...cause i cant get mine to work after i did a 5spd swap cause there was no wire to plug the switch into....but the cruise control worked on both my 5spd 87 and auto 89, until i did the swap.....

There is usually a box above the ECU. Mine however had moved over to behind the radio. I also have had one of the cables that was broken in the sleeve. Make sure you can pull it manually from the CC unit by the airbox so that it moves the TB.
