Cruise Control
Posted: Mon Feb 24, 2014 10:57 am
Good day everyone.
I joined at the beginning of February 2014 when I purchased a 2nd hand 2006 3.2D-iD SWB Pajero. This has been a long time dream came true and I am in 7th heaven.
The vehicle has 304 000Km on the clock. when I took it for roadworthy testing, the officials told me that the vehicle is in a better condition than many new cars being tested, so I'm chuffed. I paid R80 000 on a private sale and think it was the best deal that I have made in the last 20 years.
As part of the deal I also got a complete set of 4 Pajero mags with Hancook tires. The vehicle is already fitted with another set of mags and brand new all terrain Hancook tires. (bit noisy but love the sound)
I immediately joined the Pajero Club and have read every posting with excitement, especially the postings of the Kgalagadi transfrontier National Park a few weeks ago.
There is one issue tough, and hope that someone can help me. when I purchased the vehicle, the cruise control worked fine. after a week or so the cruise control only switched on after pressing the "on" lever button a few times. now it only switches on when the vehicle is started, but does not engage or switch off after I start driving.
I read the manual but could not find the problem. Someone told me that it might be a solenoid valve, but I would not know where to start looking.
I would appreciate help.
Kind regards
