 Hi, I have several issues, one is my cruise control. I have checked the motor and its all free, and the brake switch feeds. what is happening is it will not switch on with the on switch. BUT if i press the + or - buttons the cruise green lamp comes on but i cannot get it to drive.
The other is when i go over lots of bumps the airbag lamp on the dash comes on and off.
I know you guys are scorpio people and want to pick your knowlage and exsperiance.
Would appricate your recomendations if you have the time.
Thanks Jim
Has anyone connected a water system to these cars, if so how does it run! is it good on fuel!

Hi Jim, welcome to the site, the 2.9 12v is supposed to be the most reliable of the bunch.
With the airbag fault, I had exactly the same and it was the clock spring connector behind the steering wheel. Not a bad job but be careful of the airbag when you do the work.
Good luck.
Regards, Bruce  .

Have the battery disconnected for at least 30 minutes, before touching anything to do with the air bags.
I can't help with the cruise, but the cruise control module is above your right leg as drive. Remove the soft lining and it is the module mounted on a carrier tray. It sounds vaguely possible that the module might be misbehaving.
It should turn on and off on the right button, speed adjusted by the left +/- ones. It should drop out if your speed falls below 25mph or if you touch the brake pedal.
Just a thought - as both problems seem to be related at the steering wheel, could the wiring possible be damaged around there?

Details of the clock spring etc are HERE  . Have you checked that the cable is connected to the throttle?. It is only held by a small 'banjo' shaped connector and can easily be dislodged or wear loose.
