    Where to next? Intermittent Cruise Control

    Hi team. I've had my 2005 D3 for about 4 months now and have only enjoyed two glorious days of cruise control. The rest of the time pressing the button does absolutely nothing.
    I've already searched the forums and thought I'd start by replacing the brake light switch - sadly to no avail.
    I'm wondering if any one has battled and solved this issue recently? There are some dead ends on the forums.
    Is it worth ordering new steering wheel buttons?
    I'm not thinking it is the clock spring as my right hand buttons are having no issues and work perfectly and consistently.
    Any advice would be super appreciated before I resign myself to having no cruise control this round.

    I get the same issue with my cruise control every now and again. I believe the issue lies in the wiring loom behind the airbag. Part # QTV500020

    So you'd reckon the loom over the clock spring or the buttons?

    I done a little reading over on disco3uk a while ago and theres more responses for the small section of loom than the clockspring or buttons.

    No error lights?

    Perhaps still the clock spring. My srs bag light is on, but cruise still works. Error code read is clock spring. The spring must have multiple circuits.

    I had this problem some time back and it was solved by cleaning the contacts under the buttons. I also started out thinking it was the clock spring, but my local mechanic said no.

    Did you have to have the airbag off to do that Ivan?

    The "spring" is not a spring, instead a coiled multi-wired cable.

    The Iveco Daily has the same cruise control problem, Its a faulty brake switch, Some LandRovers and Range Rovers have the same identical brake switch.

    Its a self adjusting switch, removing it and replacing it resets the switch and usually solves the Iveco CC issue .

    Be sure that the switch is armed before fitting. If it has been released then it must be reset then refitted.
