Cruise control/speed limiter not working

[Patrick Bateman]

So I can call up the symbols on the dash when I press the switch but can't actually activate either of them. I've had the car since October 2014 and it's never worked in my ownership, just getting round to it now.

I've had it in at the garage and the mechanic was thinking either the clutch position sensor or the brake light switch but there are no codes.

I know the wheel has been off before to get re-trimmed, is there any chance this could have anything to do with it or are there any other likely suspects that won't necessarily show a code?

First thing I would suggest is whip the airbag out of steering wheel and see if the black plug to the left is plugged in and the wiring to it looks ok.

Easiest way to remove the air bag alone?

Clips on the rear of the wheel flat head screw driver down at away from wheel both side then it pops forword

When I had this problem I replaced the cruise switch in the dash and it worked perfectly after that.

You can tweak the pins at the back of the buttons to make them work.

I read wrong, ignore me.

Thanks for the replies I shall report back whenever I get round to checking.

Hi mate did you get it working i have same problem with my 182

 

[Patrick Bateman]

Still need to get round to taking the steering wheel off, keep putting it off.

I had same issue, and in my case, someone change squib for no cruise cintrol one, so plug under airbag wasn't plugged in. I changed squib and now its perfect! As far as I know when brake switch is broken thhere should be fault code in memory.

Before you do all of that, adjust the brake light switch it takes 2 mins. It solved my issue when I had exactly this.

There is a guide on here.

From memory -

Push the brake pedal down with one hand (engine off)
Twist the pedal switch anti-clockwise and remove
Push the plunger on the end all the way in
Pull the plunger out 3 clicks
Reinstall

Cheers mate will give it a try. I see you attached link but for some reason i cant view it.

It's a two part switch and I believe only the brake light part shows a code which disables the abs, but as far as I'm aware the second part doesn't. I'm 99% sure I'm right on this too buddy which is always worth bearing in mind, but you'll only find out by replacing it unfortunately. I just spoken to someone else about this too if your fog lamps light up on the dash while braking this can also cause a problem as they affect the cruise system. Clean the rear cluster terminals and make sure they are tight as this solved mine and saved me from buying a switch.

Nor I, think you need to be a paid member.

Tried this and it hasn't made a difference.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

In typically ridiculously delayed fashion I've finally got round to removing the air bag. Black connector is plugged in, anything untoward that I'm not noticing?

Something else I've only just noticed recently is the rear fog lamp light on the dash lighting up when pressing the brakes. I've read about removing the rear lights and cleaning the connections, could this also interfere with the cruise control?

 

[Patrick Bateman]

Just read back over post 17 and it mentions exactly that. Looks like that's the next step!

 

[Patrick Bateman]

I've cleaned up the one dodgy looking rear light connection (far right in picture) as best as I could and sprayed them with bilt hamber ferrosol but no joy.

Tempted to just get a new cruise control switch as I'm about at my wits end and would like to have cruise control on one car at least.

As its a safety feature when the EML light comes on in the Clio it knocks out cruise control and break pedal switch.
I have had this happen loads of times from Injector faults, Carbon canister faults & misfiring.

Even with using a OBD Code reader it cleared the EML light but the fault was still stored in the ECU and only a Renault Can Clip could remove it.
I was out in the car last weekend and got all my faults removed and problems fixed and now I have my Cruse Control working again.

Who did it for you? Don't suppose you're close to Carnoustie?

I booked the car into SWR and got them to plug the CAN CLIP in and check for all fault codes, I then fixed the issues and then booked it back in for the codes to be wiped.
Give SWR in Stirling a call on 01786 849489 and ask them for a price on a full diagnostic check.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

I used them for the Cambelt etc. in 2015.

Just a bit out of the way for a check like this.

60mile trip for me but won't take the car anywhere else.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

Just had the aux. belt kit done at SWR and a few other bits and pieces. Replacing the injectors now leaves me with working cruise control for the first time in 3.5 years.

Interestingly enough it seems that an issue with them, while not triggering the EML, was enough to stop the cruise from working.

Did anyone fix this? My twingo is now not playing ball with cruise not the speed limiter thingy.

Checked the brake and clutch switches, all seem ok. They're looking like they're doing what they should.

What's this white ring called in the steering wheel? Squib? The wires are encased in the plastic harness thing so no way to see if damaged, but it is a bit loose. How does it come off?
The cruise will turn on via the dash mounted switch and display on the dash but won't respond to steering wheel buttons at all
