Ferreira Posted April 27, 2003 Report Share Posted April 27, 2003 Hello Everyone, I am a new guy on the block on the w-body forum. My name is Ben and I am from Barrie, ON Canada. I have a 91 Olds Cutlass International 2dr 3.4. I do a lot of highway driving to and from work, and am a HUGE fan of cruise control. I was driving home from work last Monday and the cc was working just great. Than the next day I tried to set it and it would not work. I checked all fuses and all are fine, I checked the connection at the steering collum, and at the cruise brain and everything was okay. I was wondering if it might be the brain itself :?: :?: Any information would be greatly appreciated, Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted April 27, 2003 Report Share Posted April 27, 2003 Check for vacuum leaks. Does the heater controls work? I mean does it switch from defrost to vents or whatever when you want it to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferreira Posted April 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2003 :shock: :shock: Yes, now that you mention that, the climate control has not been doing that lately. The weather has changed a lot and it is not changing from lower to upper or defrost. With the Ecc I was just thinking it was keeping everything at a constant temperature, but I have noticed that it has not been working well at all. Where do you think the vacum leak might be :!: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 AH, well I had the vacuum line come loose at just behind the intake. But the common spot that would affect cruise control AND vents would be next to the battery, and if you follow that vacuum line to the front of the fender, there's the black vacuum tank, see if it's broken or disconnected. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferreira Posted May 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2003 Problem Solved! It was a line that extended from the CC all the way behind the rear of the plug wires. I connected it and the ECC and Cruise work better than ever! I am suprised that such a small line could cause all those problems :shock: Thanks for all of the advice :!: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted May 11, 2003 Report Share Posted May 11, 2003 yeah that's what I meant by "behind the intake" I disconnected mine a few times when working in that area. Ended up using a touch of black RTV and it hasn't moved since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
