Lift the front wheels. Turn on the switch on. When u get to 30 mph set the cruise. Ck there is power on the green or yellow wires when u hit the set button. Then ck. And see if the servo seloniod gets power when u set it. If there is power replace the seloniod.

The seloniod is on the servo. Youll see a seloniod with a 2 wire connecter and a vacuum line to it. Make sure their is vacuum on that line. Lift the car and when u go over 30 mph. Set the cruise and make sure its sending voltage to the seloniod when u set the cruise.

On my 1992 Cadillac deville. Me and my neighbor tried to pull a vacuum on the cruise control servo. The reason we did this is because the cruise control light won't come on or work. When we pulled the vacuum on it it read 0. We thought that was strange. We took the hose off the servo and I held my finger on the hole. It pulled the vacuum. Would the servo cause the cruise control not to work. Thanks.

Try lifting the brake pedal with your foot. Will it engage then?

No It doesn't. The light doesn't come on at all. I replaced the turn signal lever and it did not work. I looked at all the wiring didn't see anything wrong. A long time ago when it worked. The car radiator got overheated. We went to a gas station and the had the water hose. My dad turned the engine off and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes. When he opened the hood and took the cap off it blew up in his face. He had 3rd degree burns. Ever since then it hasn't worked. Any idea. Thanks.

Does the car need to be started or does it need to be off to check the volts.

Hi the cruise has several things to operate it first go under the hood find the cruise sevo this will have a cable going from it to the throttle same as the accel pedal. Make sure the cable is connected to the throttle not broken if ok. Look at the electrical plug where it plugs into the servo make sure it is secure and has no corrosion or breaks.

At the servo there is a vacum hose make sure this hose is connected to the eng and the servo if yes start eng remove vacum hose from servo make sure it has vacum coming through the hose. If yes plug back in.

Under dash at upper brake pedal you will see two switches mounted on the brake pedal some cars only have one one is for your brake lights one is to shut off cruise when you hit the brake. Make sure the switches are working.

Before you do any of this be positive all fuses are good. Good luck

Sorry the key needs to be on to ck those pins for power. Before that lets check the cpu for cruise codes. Push off and warmer on the a/c panel. When u see all segments light release. Then write the codes down. We will be here.

That is good u know how oper. The cpu some. They are not pins its the flat circut board ck the sodered lines on the board for 12v on one pin?Use the a/c fan speed the low is no and the hi is yes. Hit low until u see bcm inputs? Then hit high for yes. Then keep hitting low button for no until u start seeing c/c on and off, c/c set, c/c coast and resume. It will say all these on the a/c panel. Like cruise set with a 0 next to it. When u hit the set button the 0 will turn into a x and back to a 0 when u release it. This will test all the switch opers. Tohelp u check all the switchs or 1 thats not working
