dear cruising jim

have you done any diagnostics on the cruise parts
such as the switch at your brake peddle which tells the cruise to shut off
when brake is activated
such as (if standard transmission) the switch at your clutch telling cruise
to shut off when engaged
such as the chain to the carburetor or what ever transfers fuel into your
engine some times that lets go or is released by others who did not
understand how to fix
maybe you had your van serviced recently and the mechanic disconnected it to
perform some sort of unusual diagnostic check then forgot to hook up
have you checked fuses -
electrical connections to the solenoid which controls throttle
the solenoid it self
what about the sensor on the speedo cable which "listens" for speed
anyway that is a good place to start
is there power to your switch handle
are the wires in the steering column connected
good luck
yours

There are two kinds of jobs in the world:
Picking up garbage and telling people things.
Successful people do both, with the same good attitude. (riw)
