My cruise control hasn't worked since I've owned my 89 xj 5speed 4.o. so I'm looking for advice on what to check.
Thanks for any help.

The button faces forward and is pushed in when the brake is not pressed. Pressing the button in blocks the vacumn line and connects the two electrical contacts. Part of the mounting bracket is missing in the picture. If you need to clean it, the switch comes apart by pressing the little tabs. This switch controls both the cruise and sends a signal to the tranny computer if you have an AW4 (tells it to unlock the TC).
so I just cut the connector and routed the wire so that the brake switch completes/breaks the circuit.
Spudboy said:Not the best idea. When you step on the clutch to downshift or to panic stop, your engine will rev up trying to maintain speed. There is a reason the factory put the switch on the clutch in manual tranny vehicles. I suggest going to the boneyard and getting the parts to do the job correctly.
