godofthunder Posted July 25, 2003 Report Posted July 25, 2003 Well, while doing an interior detail, ill looked in the Fuse box for the hell of it. Heres what I found *Dash lighter doesnt work...guess what, blown fuse, to high. It was 20, needs 15. *Daytime Running Lights - No fuse, so put in a 15A it asked for. In the bright sun the didnt work, so I will see if it does anything tonihgt. *Cruise control - Ok, wires sticking into it! So i pulled out the wire, and tada, after a trip (I had to get over 50MPH though for it to kick in), it worked. WOW! So heres my questions.. 1) When should CC kick in? Above a certian speed? 2) DRL - Do they not work in the bright sun? What else should I look for to fix? 3) Does anyone else have wires running into the box? I remember when I got the car, it had a phone and antenna wired in. I have that other lighter/outlett on the side of the console..but i think it was plugged into there. Could these wires be other aftermarket things...now uninstalled? jon Quote
Redfox340 Posted July 25, 2003 Report Posted July 25, 2003 1) When should CC kick in? Above a certian speed? Well, I've heard two explainations: A.) the car needs to be going faster enough for the VSS to recieve a signal B.) ...or I've also heard since the CC is vacuumed controlled it needs negative vacuum from the main vac system... :? However, at 30mph the CC works for me both on my old Cutlass and the Carlo. - Erik Quote
god910 Posted July 25, 2003 Report Posted July 25, 2003 30 MPH mine engages. ...it needs negative vacuum from the main vac system... Wouldn't that be boost? :? Quote
systemofadown98248 Posted July 26, 2003 Report Posted July 26, 2003 my cc does not kick in until 25 mph. Quote

That's what I've heard, but I don't believe it either. CC needs vacuum to apply the gas pedal to hold the car at a steady speed. There we go. :oops: Mmmm... boost.. ughghughghguhghhg...

godofthunder Posted July 26, 2003 Author Report Posted July 26, 2003 Looking more at it..mine does come on arround 35 MPH too. Now more things The cig lighter still doesnt work, with the new fuse AND Now, my rear passengers side interior light is stuck. So im going play with it tommorw any ideas jon Quote
godofthunder Posted July 26, 2003 Author Report Posted July 26, 2003 Ok Just looking at more stuff...the cig lighter just blew the new fuse. So, oh well. Its got to be some wiring thats shorting out with it. So...im just taking out the fuse and not messing with it (if i need power, the one on the console still works...and actally keeps stuff outa the way to) Jon Quote
SmokesGTP Posted July 26, 2003 Report Posted July 26, 2003 Your owners manual tells you when the cruise will work. Mine says 26mph. Quote
Brian P Posted July 26, 2003 Report Posted July 26, 2003 For the cig lighter problem, get into your center console and disconnect the auxiliary outlet (cig lighter socket) on the passenger side of the console, that thing ALWAYS shorts out! Quote
godofthunder Posted July 26, 2003 Author Report Posted July 26, 2003 The center console one works though! And i kinda need it...to power my MP3/CD player (when i wanan listen to MP3s). The two cant be hooked together, theres no fuse for the one behind the steering wheel Also, anyone know if Daytime Runing Lamps were an option or standard? I fixed the fuse...but still no lamps. And nothing is on the dash to cover the sensor up Jon Quote
ismellrealbad Posted July 26, 2003 Report Posted July 26, 2003 the one on my center console (on the pass side towards floor) didnt work when it came with my car. realised there was a whole seprate fuse for it and tada it was blown, new fuse in and no problems, my radar detector is plugged into it. sometimes having the actual cigarette lighter sitting in there can short it for whatever reason Quote

godofthunder Posted July 27, 2003 Author Report Posted July 27, 2003 so..i would see them in the RPO chart or my windows sticker? jon Quote
cutlassdude96 Posted July 27, 2003 Report Posted July 27, 2003 check the window sticker it might say if it came with the car I dont know the RPO for it either Quote
godofthunder Posted July 27, 2003 Author Report Posted July 27, 2003 says nothing about DRL...at all jon Quote
