Thumbs up Fixed & Done

RC---

I started last night by pulling the hose from the switch and placed a thumb over the hose while engaging the CC and she worked! THX for trouble shooting tip. Next it was back under the dash to mess with the sleeve.

I first reset the Brake vent Sleeve as before, test drove, and Nothing. However- While under the dash I noticed a second switch (looks identical to the Vent Switch) mounted higher on the bracket. I presume this is the "Brake Light Switch".

I'm not sure the Programing logic between these two switches (If any at all or dumb luck)----but I reset this Stop Light sleeve in the same manner (and at the same time) as the the brake vent sleeve. Slowly released the brake pedal & I heard both switches click right when the pedal was at full release. Took her out for a drive AND wham---I got my CC back!

thanks for the help Everyone!

well the CC ECU receives an electrical signal from the brake to stop the CC system and the Vacuum release is a fail safe. however if you plugged the hose manually and it worked then it had to be with the vacuum switch.

Talking right

true,

I did the "plug the hose test" before realizing the second switch was there. I guess I didn't complete the reset correctly to the vent switch the first go around.

either way I appreciate all the help.

you "senior" guys pointed me in the right direction! Now onto mounting Hella lights on my A-Bar, installing new bush rings for the front ABS sensors, oil changes for the Saab & Explorer. Oh yeah... and the inlaws at the house for x-mas.

-Darn... looks like I will be out in the gargage working that list with my shop forman Sam Adams..... ;-)

Yeah, old Sam Adams is a good guy to have hanging around when working on thee old Discovery. Makes it all go so smoothly.

Also don't forget about the Rover Gods penchant for Fire, Roasted Animals and scantily clad native girls dancing in the afterglow of the fire. Oh I forgot the in-laws were there...........


At least have some good musc playing in the background.
