Title: cruise control not working.
Post by edds on Feb 23^rd, 2006, 7:40pm

i`ve got a n reg 2.5 diesel ultima. the problem is that the cruise control dose not work. i`ve checked the cable and the controler and the power plug which all seam to be ok. where can i start looking to try and fix this problem? or what can i try is there a fuse or reley that controls it?

Thnaks in advance

I have always thought that a bigger hammer could do the job ::)

Like Kevin, mine was the same.

As the buttons have no illumination, its impossible to tell when it needs to be switched on or the Resume button just need to be pressed.

Good luck ;)

If the Cruise control is on there should be a green illumination on the instrument panel.

I read earlier in another posting/topic that the diesel doesn't have Cruise control, can anyone confirm or deny this please, as I have an N reg diesel, and mine has the buttons on the steering wheel, but doesn't appear to work.

Obviously, if it isn't fitted on the diesel, then I can't expect it to work ;D , but I had thought that there may be a problem with it, so was just about to investigate, when I read this topic.

Thanks

Pete

I have seen plenty of photos of diesels with the buttons on the steering wheel and the post at the top of this page suggests that they do!

I have both an N reg and a M reg diesel Scorps and they both have cruise control, so yes, diesel's certainly have cruise.
