No Cruise Control response

arlia101 · 07-17-2011, 11:19 PM

I've got a 1999 Legacy SUS with 116K on it, purchased it used just over a month ago. The cruise control has never worked, but I only just got to looking around enough to find something useful.
I can turn it on and the light will show; playing with the toggle on the steering wheel gives me a click from inside the dash, but it does not engage; does not hold speed nor accelerate upon command.

I took this video under the hood earlier today:

Sorry for the absolutely junky quality - I had to make do with my cell phone. It should still be possible to see - basically, following the cable from the back of the CC module, I found a rubber hose just dangling - and I assume "just dangling" is not the proper configuration. Where is it supposed to go?

Well, alright - I found the vacuum pump as depicted in the shop manual (really not a helpful picture anyway) and had to feel around for the nipple the CC hose was detached from. I can cruise now, though I'm a little worried about why it was disconnected in the first place. Hopefully owner's choice, or accident... not as a safety measure...

Sorry I couldn't help or give input, and glad to hear you're able to fix the problem.
