Cruise Control Servo Relocated
1 Attachment(s)
This is a FWIW thread.
I lost my CC for about a year and finally had time to look at it last October. I found the servo totally eaten by battery acid. I called the dealer and was informed that servos were on back order and 300 back ordered. So I set the replace project aside until I could get a new servo. Last week I called again and was able to get my new servo. So this is what I did: Removed battery, battery tray and servo. I cleaned the fender area and painted it with battery acid proof paint. I decided to move the servo from this nasty environment. So the servo is relocated. I tested it and it works good. I drove it over some bumpy roads and all good to go. Since this was a short test drive, I will monitor it in the future. Now I need to repair my jury rigged vacuum connection. Two pictures did not attach so here is a picture of the new servo location |

Not enough room there now. [verymad] |

Looks good!
The only problem I see is that's the area I have to stuff my big arms thru to change the fuel filter............. Not enough room there now. [verymad] I did consider fuel filter change. I usually tackle that job from the lower left side. But access from the right side is good too. This install can easily be moved for access, if needed, by removing 1 bolt and 1 screw. I drove to town today and the CC worked beautifully. Happy camper here. |
CC out in my truck too!
My CC light comes on but no worky? I'll check the servo? Other checks I should consider? I have a 97 Dodge 2500 diesel 4X4 with auto.

MPT, given this and your other symptom, I will just about guarantee you that you have pulled the vacuum hose out of the T on the drivers side cowl.
