Subject:cruise control problems
From:David Clarkson

Hello list. After searching the archives and Bentley I am unsure of one
thing. Am I correct in assuming that my stock 1990 Westy does not have magnets that
are employed in the cruise control mechanism? From the explanation and
diagrams that are in the Bentley it looks like the vehicle employs the inductive
pickup on the speedometer instead. The reason that I ask is that my cruise
control is slowly failing. It will set and sometimes resume correctly but will
release at the slightest bump.  I will of course check the diaphragm and vacuum
lines for leaks and also the vacuum pump for grounding issues and proper
operation. Maybe someone on the list has had similar symptoms that led to one
particular component failure. Any help is greatly appreciated.
