Hello again mate, yes thanks, I have read that thread. Interesting to see that the CC master switch plug has 3 or 4 wires.
Anyway some news, I've been looking all afternoon for this sodding master switch plug and still can't find it. It may be right up under the dash, which will require the dash to come out to get to and I'm not too keen on doing that. But having put everything back together to use the car and not wanting to have wasted both yours and my weekend, curiosity got the better of me and I fed a fused power feed to pin 7, white/yellow wire, on the CC ecu, as per my Rave diagram..... and low and behold I have cruise control... of sorts.
It doesn't work as per the handbook, but it works in a way to at least make it useable. With mine, when you energise the CC ecu the dash light doesn't come on until you press the resume button, you can then drive at a desired speed, press the set button and the cruise works, you can increase the speed on the set button, you can accelerate to a higher speed, back off and it'll pick up again when you get down to the set speed, it also disengages the CC when you touch the brakes. But if you the hit the resume button to activate the CC again, the dash light goes out and you can't use the CC again until you've turned the main switch off and on again.
I think this is most probably due to not having the correct switch and wiring loom, so hopefully some kind sole on here will be able to furnish me with the necessary info or if I could get hold of a correct wiring diagram, I could work it out and wire it up myself. I would prefer to have it as per the factory setup. Cheers again Chris.
