Bounder, cruise won't work

[buzzinhalfdozen]

Well I found something, not sure if it's the fix (I'll know tonite) under the floor is the air brake valve it has 3 switches on it...found 1 wire off (corroded wasn't a sealed end) . Anyway it goes into a harness that runs into the coach (with about a thousand others) hoping it's the wire for the cruise. Suspect it is a power or ground input for cruise.

Joe --find a heavy duty truck repair tech and see if he can shed some light on the air brake system pick his brain--- I'm out of suggestions / ideas ---I'm just a retired office guy that has repaired my own stuff for a long time

Yeah thanks, that wire didn't make the cruise work so now I'm wondering what it was for. Thanks for the suggestions I'll keep looking and see if I can find a good heavy truck tech.After making a few calls to local RV and truck garages I think I missed the boat on careers.... been quoted between 3-5 hours to diagnose @ 120.00 per hour WOW! At my job I'd better have it properly diagnosed in an hour or less or they're crying like babies about why it takes so long. I've no doubt I'll get to the cause of the problem.

I have installed a few aftermarket cruise controls over the years. The two most common problems are vacume leaks, and speed sensors. Most older ones use magnets for the sensor for the cruise. If I has a pod for the throttle these would most likely be the case, also adjustment on the pull cable.

older ones magnets come loose

After looking around a bit on this I see no signs of a mechanical connection to the injection pump. At least that I can see, so I'm guessing it's "fly by wire", which makes sense since it's got an electronic gas pedal. I'll keep looking.
