Thread: Cruise control issue

The RAVE manual is your best friend.

Follow the trouble-shooting proceedures and you will find the problem.

Thanks. I have that already and had a quick look. Guess I'll go back and have a proper look.

Hi Dtripp,

I'll be stunned if its not the vacuum motor itself. Unsure why but super common for them to fail. I have had two in three years and my third one has been trouble free for 6 months or so..touch wood! Some wreckers will let you test one before paying and driving away with it. Make sure you do as the second one I brought was already buggered

I'm assuming that when you hook the motor up to the battery and a vacuum hose directly to the thing at the throttle it should open the throttle all the way then? Mine doesn't move it at all. And there's no air leaks anywhere either.

i have a cruise control issue too. found a t-piece leading back to the vacuum servo at the throttle plate floating in the breeze and not much else. does anyone have the vacuum diagrams?

Mine was like that too to start with. From the t-piece one should go to the thing at the throttle, one to the vacuum pump underneath the jack, and one through the firewall on the drivers side. From there I'm not completely sure where it goes though.

Ours stopped working when leaving melb for qld road trip. Had a look on the way but drove to Qld without cruise control. Fixed once we arrived in Qld,found a plastic t-piece had obstruction in it,just enough to render cruise useless. Also had typical split vacum lines in past.

....through the firewall and onto the brake switch/vacuum switch. It's a manual? Then to the clutch switch as well.

The switch port faces towards the rear of the vehicle.

Make sure you get vacuum line when you replace the hose.
And if you need to replace the vacuum pump, one from a EA-EF Falcon will do the job for you. Same Hella bit with a small change to the wiring plug.
