Sorry for being a pain, but I'm trying to make sure my (new to me) truck gets the attention it needs.
Next up is cruise control being fixed. Needless to say, it's not working (am I an expert diagnostic person or what!?).
Symptoms:
Right now when I turn on the cruise control, I don't even get a light anywhere - not even sure where I should be looking. Is the 'on' button on the steering wheel suppose to light up or is there suppose to be a dash light to indicate that cruise is on?
All my lights work (headlights, fog lights, blinkers, turn signals, and most importantly for the cruise I'm guessing..brake lights)
The buttons on the dash DO click when I push the cruise 'on' button and the 'off' button. So mechanically, I think they are alright. I saw a DIY tip somewhere on how to get that piece out of the steering wheel, but I don't think I'm looking at a cleaning at this point.
From reading and the manual (more reading than the Haynes manual, unfortunately) I think the major components are: fuse, servo (cable and vacuum), and brake pedal switch to turn off the cruise when brake is applied.
I haven't found a listing to tell me where to look for the fuse that controls cruise control on my truck yet (when I bought it the cover on the inside fuse box was not there, so no idea what those fuses are for). I haven't found a fuse layout diagram in the manual yet which I think is odd.
I've taken pictures of a few items that I think are needed to help diagnose the problem. Anyone have a checklist of things I should be trying? I'm including a couple images that I'm not sure what the part is (it may be the infamous vacuum line and if it is, I think I know where the problem is). If that is the problem, how might one go about fixing it?
What I believe is the connection to the throttle body from the cruise control servo:
What I believe is the cruise control servo (found on driver's side under the battery) from the top of the engine compartment:
What I believe is the cruise control servo (found on driver's side under the battery) from the side (inside engine compartment):
Two hoses/cables wrapped together. Not sure what the small one that goes to bottom of motor is for, but the one from the throttle body (?) connection goes to the cruise control servo (?).
Closer look at the two cables/hoses that are wrapped together. The one that is pictured bending up will appear in the next image. The other (thicker) one is connected to the cruise control servo.
The plastic feeling hose that goes 'nowhere'. I haven't checked the other end to see if it's connected but this one wasn't. This is the end that is run down under the battery and was resting down by the cruise control servo. I didn't pull on the other end in fear of breaking it off and not ever finding where it should have been.
Any help or ideas are welcomed. Thanks in advance.
