Cruise Control

[ghmees]

Hi I have just bought a xantia 2.0i petrol automatic and the cruise control does not work.

I press the switch on the dash and it lights up as ready.

I engage the lever up or down . I can hear a switch or relay click but the speed control does not engage.

any chance of some help on the subject

thanks

It will almost certainly be due to a poor connection on the switch within the brake pedal. Remove the two screws at the rear of the pdeal and clean the contacts.

Hi DickieG, when I got back in January I had a look at the pedal area, found there was some play in the pedel so when I was out next I hooked my foot under the pedal, pulling it to its top position and then operated the cruise control, it then started working and has worked since so I think your idea on the pedal contacts was spot on.

thanks
