cruise control ain't working....

**madmaestro** · 03-17-2010, 09:56 PM

my cruise control on my 2003 toyota celica isnt working at all. i checked out the fuses to see if that was the problem but nothing seemed wrong. i would really like to fix it.

**JUNKyardHOE** · 03-17-2010, 10:04 PM

tear that shit out and get a direct throttle to pedal link... ooh baby

but an a more serious note check the plugs going into the CC servo located under all the plastic crap on the left side of the engine bay up front

**madmaestro** · 03-17-2010, 10:06 PM

sweet thanks dude ill check it out

**cbcelica** · 03-17-2010, 10:14 PM

Toyota is very advanced with their cruise. theres alot of safety and fail safe things. i no for a fact cruise wont work if you have a brake light out... stupid problem but it can cause it... have u checked for codes?

**jons02gts** · 03-18-2010, 08:13 AM

now thats cool with the cc not working if a brake light is out. didnt know that. hey cb, could it be the servo/module for the cc?

**cbcelica** · 03-18-2010, 11:09 AM

yeah i had a taco at work with that problem, i was like wtf!? but sure Jon i mean it could be.

**madmaestro** · 03-22-2010, 09:38 PM

well actually i put in aftermarket lights not to long ago but they seem to be working fine... but what u mean codes?

**cbcelica** · 03-22-2010, 10:57 PM

diagnostic trouble codes. Some systems on your car have whats called self diagnostics. this means when the computer detects a problem, it stores a code. sometimes, this code can cause the check engine light on. when u bring it to a dealership, we hook up a scan tool(another computer) and we can read this code. It tells us the general direction in which we should go to fix the problem. u can actually get codes pulled at your local autoparts stores, like autozone.

**cbcelica** · 03-22-2010, 10:58 PM

not trying to sound like a dick or anyhting, but Maestro u did mean all three brake lights are working right?

**madmaestro** · 03-23-2010, 02:03 AM

haha ya all three are working

**cbcelica** · 03-23-2010, 02:26 AM

ok cool, did u get around to checking the connections at the actuator?

**subspec** · 03-23-2010, 06:46 AM

**jons02gts** · 03-23-2010, 08:22 AM
