looks like the unit is not seeing the cutouts on the brake and clutch pedals Mick, so it wont set.

It doesn't monitor the globes itself Mick, it has additional stop switches that are connected directly to the unit - will have a look this weekend

i can't remember the technical terms but i had problems with the Austin when we put cruise in it and it was because the brake lights were LED, i think it was something to do with power feedback or resistance or something had to fit a thing that looked like a tiny amp heat sink thing (sorry about my vague technical terms )

Co well the cruise control is a fizzog, sorted out the brake and clutch switches, went through the commissioning steps and it is getting all its signals it just refuses to work

do you have paperwork for tests etc for checking things, i think i still have mine and can send you pics, is you pickup close enough to the magnets

Yeah Mick I have a full set of the installation and troubleshooting paperwork - its getting all its inputs in diagnostic mode but not playing the game.......

ok, sorry but that's all i've got

I did some YouTube study and one bloke had trouble with his because it didn't have enough vacuum going to the unit - I am going to try that tonight - need to go to Pirtek and get another fitting today

We have a fully functioning cruise control

Ran the vacuum hose directly to the inlet manifold and off it went

Cutting it fine - it goes on the truck to Melbourne on Friday ...........

Awesome……. Good to get that sorted.
