Cruise Control

Hallo - I have read all the other posts about cruise control failiure but they do not seem to apply to my problem.

I have just bought an 04 Galaxy 1.9 Tdi and the cruise control does not work at all. When I turn it on the green light comes on on the rev counter display but nothing happens.

The garage I bought it from has put it on 3 different computers (including 1 Ford Computer) and it shows no faults. They have checked the switches etc and all are working. In short they are stumped , has anyone any ideas.

I beleive this model is fly by wire so it doesnt have the hose to the vacumn pump that normally goes - is this right?

 

Any suggestions gratefully received.

 

Apart from this I am well happy with the car and glad I switched from a Zafira to a Galaxy!

The usual cause on a Tdi is the brake or clutch pedal switch.......have you checked those ?

If you mean the switches on these yes plus it also showed up no faults on the computer

Thanks

Correct

 

 

Not much of a garage then.....

 

I believe that the brake switches wouldnt show up as a fault as they can be open or closed depending on brake pedal position. They are probably either faulty or incorrectly adjusted, its a common fault. There is also a switch on the clutch (don't know where).

Sorry ,I didnt tell you that mechanic also tested switches by driving vehicle and lefting pedals whilst trying to turn on cruise control I think they said they also isolated and overid the switches so the cruise would be on permanently but none of this has worked - they have now taken car back to Fords so they can have a further look

Thanks

 

Obviously I would still be grateful for any further suggestions
