Hi Guys
I just finshed up instaling my new gel red tops ... I had to replace the crusie control cable due to the acid from the battery leaking on it for a few years .

The vacume can looked like it was in pretty good shape ... not to much leaking on that ... but the cable was toast.

I tried engaging the crusie on the way home from my shop ... it did not work ... I checked all the fuse's and the only fuse I found that was blown was a 40 amp what said it was for the trailer .

I did not have one of those funky fuse's ... I will get a few tomarrow, I was wondering if the crusie also has a relay I can check .

What other componants usually go bad and if there are some things I can test ... I just put a new TPS ... so I know it's not that .

Thanks

Greg

 

Is it not even engaging or is it having issues like kicking off or not locking in place?

I have the problem where every once in awhile it will actually work, the other times i set it and the truck takes off up to 80mph.

 

check this link out...http://dodgeram.info/tsb/1997/08-22-97a.htm, this was my problem

 

Hi Guys
The crusie is not really doing anything thats why I was wondering if it was controled by a relay .

Thanks

Underneath the driver's side battery is the cruise control module. You better inspect the vacuum lines to it and the control mod itself for vacuum leaks. Get a vaccum pump from a parts store and check it out. More than likely it's the module if you had battery acid leaking on it.

 

Besides the actuator a bad brake light switch often causes no cruise.
Try lifting up on the brake pedal with your foot and see if cruise works.
If it does replace the switch, about $12 at Napa.

 

Hi Guys

The crusie is the same fuse as the trailer connection ... plus I disconnected the rear trailer plug first ...it was full of rust ..
Later
