Cruise Control

[Richy88]

hey everyone


just fitted the stalk into my cupra but unsure on the wiring,

can you extend the cable that comes off the stalk straight to the ecu?

or do you need a loom from seat any one got a pic of one or can tell me where they all go?

thanks

I sent you the guide for connecting the wires to the ecu last week mate. Didnt you get it?

 

[Richy88]

yea got that thanks mate but didnt buy a loom from seat yet was just wondering if i can just extend it straight in or if i need to add for connect to any where else

 

[greg]

hmmm mine was installed when i bought the car but as the ecu was changed due to water damage the wires were no longer connected to the ecu. I just assumed they came direct from the stalk, but cant be 100% certain. What wires are coming from your stalk mate?

 

[Richy88]

got 4 wires a blue,red white and black ive extended them to the ecu and put them in the right pins but its not working just wondering if it has to do anythin else like a pedal on the way

have you activated cruise control via vag-com?

 

[greg]

thats all i have left to do as well. Got a cheap cable of ebay but the vag-com software on the laptop does not recognise it. Thinkin bout investing in a genuine cable as i really want to get this working.

 

[Richy88]

yea activated it in vagcom got the g in the component field maybe one of my ecu connections just isnt making a good connection

if the wiring just goes straight to the ecu thats all it can be

really annoying!

 

[vetec]

is there a part number for the wiring from seat?

 

[Richy88]

dont know if i aint got it,

trying to find out if you need it or just extending it is ok

Doesnt just go straight to the ecu. One wire needs power either from the brake pedal switch or pin 2 on the headlight switch. Of the 3 remaining wires, one is split into two to make the 4 needed for the ecu.

What component field should the 'G' be in Richy88? I have looked through all the items and cant see one called 'cruise control' or anything similar. Is it under a sub-category somewhere?

 

[Richy88]

when you go into the engine bit

it says it on the left at the top i think

when you go into '01-Engine'? Mine doesnt mention cruise control in there

 

[greg]

Just came across this Richy88 which might answer your other question about where the wires are supposed to go.

[Richy88]

on that screen at the top left in the component bit has 1.8... the G01 when it used to be 01

not my acutal screen shot tho

yea figered the wires out not have to split one to make 2 abit random lol

 

[greg]

Nice one, cheers for that mate. Will take a look tonight when i get home. Have you got yours working now then?

Right, i've had a look at how the cruise control has been wired into my car (i know this configuration has worked in the past as my mate had it working when he owned the car before me). The blue and red wires are extended straight to the ECU, the black wire is split into two wires and both of these run to the ECU also. The white wire comes out of the loom and connects to something under the steering wheel. On my car this just has a male bullet connector on the end and is not connected to anything, which is most likely the reason for the cruise control not working!!!!

Can someone who has cruise control fitted please have a look under the dash and see where this wire goes? Im guessing it goes to the brake or clutch switch, but cant see how it should be connected there

Any help would be massively appreciated, it feels like i am so close but yet so far!!!!

 

[Richy88]

connect it to pin 2 of the headlight switch its your brake lights easyer then the brake light switch

that was my last wire but working great now

Guys,

You got part numbers for the stalk and loom?

Greg, can you send me the wiring guide too ?
