Control de crucero

[Santos007]

Aunque el mío ya funciona, como comuniqué hace unos días, entiendo que jinigor, y posiblemente otros colegas más, pueden tener problemas. Por ello me permito copiar aquí parte un artículo sobre este tema que considero de Interés:

The cruise control system in these cars has a few common problem areas which will render the system inoperative. Fortunately, they are easy and inexpensive to repair. If your cruise control doesn't work, check the following:
• 1. Make sure the rubber bellows of the vacuum unit isn't cracked or split. If it's OK, then make sure it seals around the metal endplates. Use silicone sealant to really seal it up.
• 2. Check the disconnect switch at the brake pedal. The wires may have broken or become disconnected. This is the switch that deactivates the cruise control when the brake is pressed.
• 3. Check that the vacuum supply hose to the bellows unit is intact, and is plugged into the intake manifold.
• 4. The "set switch" at the end of the turn signal stalk sometimes loses its electrical ground. You can restore the electrical ground by removing the bottom of the steering column just behind the steering wheel, and wrapping a small piece of wire around the turn signal stalk. Connect the other end of the wire to a suitable grounded screw. Replace the lower column cover and your repair is invisible.
• 5. The solenoids at the end of the bellows unit sometimes stick. Remove the black caps and spray penetrating oil into the solenoids. Allow the oil to sit and work for a while before attempting to use the cruise control. If you've taken these steps and your cruise control still doesn't work, then you're probably looking at something expensiv.[/i]

A lo anterior podemos añadir:

The lower end of the shift selector operates a pair of cams which in turn control a pair of micro switches mounted just below the console. One switch keeps the starter from operating if the selector is not in NEUTRAL or PARK. The other switch cuts off the cruise control if the selector is not in the DRIVE position.
The combination Reverse Lamp / Start Inhibitor / Cruise Control Activator Switch which is mounted in front of the gearshift (under the Ski Slope cover), and which is activated in conjunction with the ON-OFF Switch mounted behind the Gearshift Lever; If this combination switch is not properly adjusted in relation to the gearshift-position "D", the Cruise will NOT come ON. In fact, this switch is reverse-wired, so that "off" is really "ON" for the purpose of the Cruise Control.

Espero que esta información os resulte de interés. Un saludo y... agradezco las fabulosas contriobuciones de nuestro colega Juan.
