Title: Moving Cruise Control?
Post by petersit on Feb 25^th, 2006, 7:55am

Has anyone tried to move CC to a Scorpio without this system?

hi there

we think it's a bit of a non-started because of the various sensors and wiring. even with a donor car next to it, it would be some work, imo.

....
but as andrew states,a lot of work involved,impossible,probably not,but worth the effort. :-/
in my opinion,a brave man to try to move both the traction and cruise from 1 car to another....

As Andrew and Craig said, a big job when you factor in replacement steering wheel and all the bits, if you had a donor car alongside I guess you could do it, but a big project in any case.

As an alternative look at a generic accessory fit system.

Typically less work called for.

Good luck

Rather you than me.
It could turn out been a monumental task.
Would probably be easier to buy another car with it on and run that rather than trying to swap system over.

Blimey, its a long time since this was discussed!
But, discussed it was. And as the guys have already said, it was kind of decided it was too much effort.

If you had another vehicle next to it with CC on it, it would almost be easier to swap all your bits onto that car instead.... possibly.... maybe :-/

Good luck.

Was it just the Diesel option that didn't have CC ?

Like the sunroof, I don't use the CC that much ( living in Perthshire there's not many Motorways ) but I do like it to be working.

My -96 Cosworth Ghia have everything except CC, leather and the sensors if you want to park the car (dont remeber the english word). :-/

Peter

Have a look at http://www.the12volt.com/

The cruise control section or forum may have alternatives that you could try. I still think an accessory fit system will be your best choice because they are designed to be straightforward retro fits.

Worth exploring, cruise is definately one of my most used Ultima luxuries

Good luck

Geoff

Thanks Geoff_W
I still have not given up moving the CC. (stupid me) I have an contact at Ford. He says that it should be a "possible project". Otherwise He must help me. I´ll start the project i a few weeks. Wish me luck. ;)

Well if you are determined, good luck!

If you do have a go, consider taking piccies as you go at each stage. If you can do that, I am sure that a lot of folks would be keen to see how you managed it.

If it does not work out you can always backtrack using the piccies.

Hope that helps

Geoff

Don't think anyone would mind a small howto on the subject, if it all works out :-)

I know this may be a bit off topic, but I read earlier 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

You could check if the CC-motor is fitted. There should be a second accelerator cable connected to the engine. (Atleast if the diesel-engines are half similar to the gasoline engines.)
