Cruise Control stopped working

[AndrewJB]

Anybody had their CC stop working randomly?

Clicked mine to set it his morning and nothing at all, Turned engine on and off, Set the CC to on and off etc.

Its dead.


Not had time to scan it yet but got no lights

on off rocker switch on the stalk
set and resume buttons on the stalk
brake pedal switch
clutch pedal switch

That's all I can think of.

 

[AndrewJB]

Need to scan it later see if anything comes up, everything feels fine nothing loose as such.

hate electronics

Might be a fuse or relay involved there somewhere. Not sure how it works exactly.

Think there is also a switch on gear lever (or in gearbox) is your gear display thingy still working?

 

[Marshall]

I'd be looking at the clutch or brake pedal switch.

 

[AndrewJB]

need to check them somehow then, guessing checking the brake lights would be a start for the brake switch.

Car drives fine

This is also very worth while and easy to check.

Does your gear display thingy work correctly in all gears.

I'd say its probably the stalk itself that has failed. They aren't the most reliable and have been known to malfunction in the Mk2 along with the Golf and Octavia. The first one I bought didn't work after it was fitted and activated in VCDS the buttons just didn't do anything, so on my second now.

If it is that SEAT can fork out for it, at 3.5 years old il push them

Even though pretty much every aspect of your car is modified? Although it's all about who you know I guess...

 

[andy550]

They can't claim that any modifications he's made have affected the stalk. Only argument they can make is that it's out of warranty.

Your gearbox lost count of what gear it was in. I think there are sensors/switches inside the box to tell it what gear it's in and put the display up on the dash. If it doesn't know what gear it's in it could be in neutral so CC is deactivated.

Haha I'm not surprised it did tbh

Single Mass Flywheel + Metal gearbox bushes + metal shifter bushes and Quick shifters..

Hardcore gearbox lol

Could be that there's a bit too much vibration in the gearbox upsetting the sensors/switches for the gear indicator display.

 

[AndrewJB]

Could be first time its every happend though will keep an eye on it

Had this on Passat. Gear indicator suddenly disappeared from MFD, was like it for a 2 hour journey (cruise wouldn't work either) was about to ring dealers when I stopped for fuel, when I restarted it all worked fine. That was three months ago and no repeat since.

I always thought the gear indicator was done through the lever position?
There's definitely no switches on the gearbox for it.
When I had my R I remember my cruise didn't work on a journey, I pulled in to a layby and restarted the car and all was well.
Never happened again either.
Probably a software glitch
