Cruise (again) And Couple Of Questions.

[Vanbursta]

Can anyone help me please, I have the usual problem on my 1997 Galaxy Ghia Ultima in that the central locking control box has got full of water, I am going to order a new one as I can't find a s/h one anywhere and have unplugged the old one at the moment, however I have a few problems which I am not sure the box will cure.

 

1) There are no interior lights (they work fine if switched on manually but don't come on when the door(s) are opened.

 

2) The instrument panel lights are always on, regardless of the position of the light switch.

 

3) Cruise control doesn't work, so far I have tested the pump (working fine), the brake switch (working fine) the stalk control (working fine), but cannot get any response to the stalk controls, as I didn't get an owners manual could somebody please explain how to use it, there is no light on the dash nor is there any clicking relay sound.

 

Where is the location of the cruise control relay (and which one is it) and which fuse does Cruise use ? (I am sorry to ask but I didn't get an owners manual and the Ford documentation makes no reference to them.

 

Is it possible the above are all connected to the central locking / alarm module and if so does anyone know if fitting a new one will cure it (approx

1. the box under the seat control the curtesy lights, hence why they dont come on when you open the doors

 

2. they do that so you can see the LCD display better

 

3. I dont have cruise so i cant help you much here!

 

as for the wet ECU! there are several places thet sell them cheaper and iirc there was as member on here that had one for sale a while back? you could ask if he still has it iirc it was Steve67car or if not try ebay there is / was a guy on there sell how to fix / bypass this ECU

Ford Galaxy = VW Sharan = Seat Alhambra .... did you try looking for 2nd hand parts from these other 2 manufacturers.

Thanks for the answers, I have tried looking for all the alternatives, Sharan, Alhambra etc, I have tried all the local scrap yards and even findapart.com, also eBay etc (the chap that sells the repair kit says that it doesn't cure the problem with the alarm or the interior lights, but just give you your central locking back) but so far nothing. That's why I think I am going to have to bite the bullet. How would I contact the other member who was selling one please can someone tell me as I am new to this and don't want to upset anyone.

 

Thanks again
