Cruise Control not working

[datart]

My cruise control has not worked since I bought the car 18 months ago and it is now starting to bug me. (95 530 auto touring).

I have removed the actuator unit and taken it apart for examination. It look like new inside and using a 12 volt supply I can get the motor to rotate in both directions and the solenoid to engage.

Is there a way I can test the voltage at the multiplug? does anyboy know what the readings should be or a simple pinout diagram would be helpful.

I can put he car on a lift and get some one to run get it up to speed and trigger the switch but I really net to know what readings I should be getting at the plug.

Thanks in advance.

Hey, I have a problem too. My cruise was working perfect till recently. It really does suck because I rely on cruise heavily on the highway. The fuse is fine. How do you get to the actual unit?

if your OBC is not functioning correctly, the cruise control will not work. remove your OBC drive a few miles, and reinstall it. This might fix your problem.

when i tried to engage it the pedal felt like it was tapping my foot & the cruise would not stay engaged. we used the actuator test instructions from alldata's dvd & the actuator tested fine. it has worked ever since we tested it. i do not remember the test pins. what i do remember is it was a pain to get to it under the brake booster.

Do you have those instructions for testing by any chance? I have a 2000 mile trip to do this weekend from sweden to croatia. Cruise would be nice.
