aiboart Member 665 Member For: 20y 4m 10d Posted 28/06/07 02:20 PM Share Posted 28/06/07 02:20 PM My auto BAT's cruise control is malfunctioning. The car is stock.The 'CRUISE' icon goes out after random periods of time following an engine start. Period ranges from 1 minute to 20 minutes.The 'CRUISE' control icon (and cruise control function) will not activate unless the engine is first stopped and then restarted.The problem manifest immediately after a warranty replacement of the throttle position sensor. There had never been any problems with the cruise system prior to this.The dealership is most helpful but cannot find the solutions atm. They did repair a faulty brake light and thought that they had solved the problem at that stage.Subsequent dealer investigations have found system codes that suggest a wiring issue. The Forum search function does not yield any examples of this exact problem.I did ask the dealership to backtrack to the throttle position sensor repair to check for loose connectors and pinched wires.Any ideas anyone?Regards,aa Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/36195-cruise-control-problem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cruise control used to drop out @ times. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/36195-cruise-control-problem/#findComment-549639 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole system is switching off as if you click the off button?

I would suggest it's something with the TPS, as if the cruise control detects any problems it will just simply shut down.What are the dealers doing now - or is it sitting in the 'to hard basket'?

Had me guessing though. No warnings or anything - just no cruise.

Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 22y 29d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 04/08/07 08:38 AM Share Posted 04/08/07 08:38 AM The fuse is good but are you getting power on both sides of the fuse?Maybe you've dislodged a wire when wiring the gauges up to the phone connector.
