Test Q: Cruise Control Indicator Never On

  1. Turn ignition on and start engine. Road test vehicle and verify cruise control operation. If cruise control operates properly, go to next step. If cruise control does not operate properly, see CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEMS - VILLAGER article.
  2. Turn ignition switch off. Remove instrument cluster. See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER  in REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Gain access to speed control actuator module. Speed control actuator module is located below left side of instrument panel. Disconnect speed control actuator module connector C247. Disconnect instrument cluster connector C266C. Measure resistance of Red/Yellow wire between instrument cluster connector C266C terminal No. 12 and speed control actuator module connector C247 terminal No. 4. See Figure and Fig 1 . Resistance should be less than 5 ohms. Measure resistance between ground and instrument cluster connector C266C terminal No. 12 (Red/Yellow wire). Resistance should be more than 10 k/ohms. If resistance measurements are as specified, replace instrument cluster printed circuit. See PRINTED CIRCUIT  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Retest system. If resistance measurements are not as specified, repair Red/Yellow wire. Retest system.
