My Cruise Control doesn't work. What do I check?

If you have a failing ASCD (a.k.a Cruise Control), check FOUR fuses.

This is based on my 1992 EURO SPEC TT

Battery -> Horn Relay (Location : Engine Bay, 10A). If this one is blown, the MAIN cruise control (i.e. on the left pod) will work, but it will NOT be able to set the speed. Seems it cuts continuty from the Set/Reset/accel THROUGH the Horn relay.

Ingition Switch -> ASCD (a.k.a. Cruise Control) Hold Relay (Location : ?). This one makes sense.

Battery -> Stop Lamp Switch (Location : ?). Depressing the brake kills the ASCD, makes sense.

Ingition Switch -> Electronic Speedometer (Location : ?).

And....looking at the complete diagrams, it seems that these fuses are controlling a LOT more than what's labelled on the box (someone told me on an auto the ASCD fuse controls sometimes the BACKUP lights ???)

The ASCD unit under the hood (in front of the battery) requires vacuum to operate. Make sure the hose leading to the actuator has vacuum.

i just talked to a friend just now...and he said that its probably the actual cruise control unit since the relays are fine and its trying to engage. Does that sound about right?

hmm...well if my speed sensor went out...then i should be noticing something on my speedometer, and i havent noticed anything different. I just thought that it would be a specific fuse or something since the controls went out on the wheel itself...i'll take a look around. Thanks!

I seem to recall one but cant swear where. If the speed sensor on the trans has a problem ive read that the CC wont work anymore. Once the day cools off im going out to mess with my car and ill try to remember to have a look. There is a fuse box behind the hatch on the drivers side kick panel, another under the hood with the larger relays and you might also have a look at the fusible links near the battery.

i have a question...
my CC went out on my steering wheel, is that a fuse or something???

I saw that this morning. it looks a bit rough for the money. If I needed a doner for a swap that would be a good possibility.

hEY gREAVS, YOU SEEN THIS?
