Do your dash vents for the AC/heater work?

Not to hijack thread, but my cruise control intermittently acts up since I installed my EZ. It sometimes wants to surge up above setpoint and then stumble below setpoint. I am guessing that the EZ's electronics are the culprit. Any suggestions???



TIA

Gary , this may sound silly but it works. Remove the vacuum line from the actuator under the battery and stick the extension tube from an aerosol can in the vacuum line. The restriction will slow the cruise down. Only problem is I'm not sure if the '02 still had the vacuum actuated cruise, if so your problem is likely electrical.

Most cruise problems are caused by battery acid corroded wires, hose or actuator under the battery or by a bad brake light switch.
