Default 1996 XJS cruise control

Putting out the call for help!!

As some of you know I Finished with the fuel pump install project....successfully as the Kitty purrs very well thank you.

After that I tackled a complete refinish 0f my convertible top system.... Liner, Insulation pad and top....again successful!!!

NOW MY CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING!!!

I haven’t really driven the car after the pump install as I went directly into complete restoration of the TOP SYSTEM.

I am thinking I might have done something to the speed sensor when I was looking for the brake light sensor.

I get 12v on the connector located in the center console.

I removed the switch and and do my usual resistance test it with my fluke I get 9.0 to 20.0 M ohms of resistance.

Is there another simple way to tell if the switch is good or bad?

As always thanks

I forgot to mention the resistance test was across #1 and #2 terminal lugs on the switch, tested ion the bench.

Are you certain that the CC doesn't work?
If you aren't driving it how do you know?
The only CC failures I have found are the CC ECU and or cracked rubber bellows and or vacuum lines.
If you find it is the switch, I have an NOS one.

Sorry I didn’t explain. After I finished the top I took it for a drive an d found out the cc did not work.

I already ordered a new switch.

Thanks

Did you post a thread on your top replacement?

RIVGUY,

Sorry, No Posting

I would be happy to answer any questions you have regarding the removal of the top system.

There is a video by a guy called “COVERCATZ”. He did a couple of videos on removing an xjs convertible top system.
