Title: Automatic speed control?
Post by waders on Nov 27^th, 2004, 3:59pm

Hi guy's ;D,

Since I bought my latest Scorp ;D, it's had no cruse control working :'(. It does not have TCS :o.(not fitted by Ford)

I get absolutly no response from the "on" button :-/.

No light on dash >:(

I found no relay behind glove box ???. I bought a relay and fitted it :D. Result-head lights on when ignition is on but light switch in "off" position :-/!

I did not drive the car ::), I removed the relay :P. All fine, still no C/C :'(.

I then read in a post that maybe non TCS cars don't have the relay ??? ??? ???

So the million doller question :-/;

Is there a fuse that covers C/C? ???(no mention in hand book)

Any help greatly appreciated :P

Found the fuse ;D, main box #16, 7.5amp (thanks for wiring diagrams Daveb), in the owners book as "Electronics" :-/.

My fuse is fine >:((b***s).

Is it time to look at black boxes, and any ideas where it is ???

Thanks

Hello Waders.

Check once more how the cruise is working, it differs a bit from older models.
There light on dash will not go on when You turn the system on, but turns on when you set the speed.
(it light´s only when cruise have control of speed)

If you get the light but still no control, check the throtle control lingage.

Hi Mmonster ;D,

I will try playing with the buttons again as I get to drive to Hampshire from Barnet tomorrow ;D. Mine is a late '95 model so I believe ??? C/C light should come on when I hit the on button :o.

Hi Barry,

The light only comes on when you set a speed - try turning it "on" then hit "+" & you should see it. Well, that's how I remember it working on mine... (which left the factory in December '94, need to start organising a 10th birthday party ;D)

Cheers,
Dave

Hi guys,

I do indeed cruise with control! ;D
I think the zen of this site had more to do with it starting to work than anything I was doing with the buttons ::), may the force be with me always :P.

Thanks
