I got a prob with my cruise swell, at this stage I am going to check the grounding is still good for the system. Don't know whether poor grounding is an issue on patrols but if things not grounded correctly would think there be issues.

of course check any earths and redo

Not sure if it has the same as Commodores, but if you have a brake light out that stops you from setting the cruise. As you are able to cancel the cruise by touching that brakes, the whole brake light circuit must be complete, i.e. all brake light globes working not blown, including the barn door one. Just a thought.

Not sure about the 98 models but on later Patrols if it is factory cruise then it should be a seperate micro switch on the brake pedal and not part of the brake lights.

VB1010... Have a quick look and if there are two micros on the brake pedal one is for cruise

Also... is the speedo working correctly?
