Hi Everyone!
Been trying to diagnose a cruise control issue in my '01 VDC. I suspect the actuator is messed up. The light goes on at the switch, but attempting to set the cruise control does nothing. Canceling the cruise control, after several tries, causes the light to extinguish with an audible click from the module underneath the dash. The CC light then can't be reactivated until the car is turned off and on again.
I measured the voltage at the plug that attaches to the Actuator both with the CC switch off and on. With it ON, it is definitely getting 12-14 volts as opposed to off with 0. This is what led me to believe its the actuator.
It sounds like something is loose/moving inside the actuator box. Don't know if that is normal or its definitely broken. Anyone have any experience messing with one of these?
I want to open it up, but it's a sealed case and I don't want to screw it up in case its not really the problem.
Let me know what ya'll think!
Thanks!
P.S. The part number is 87012AE15A. I'm seeing a lot of 87012AE10A around, I wonder if it would work? Could there really be that big of a difference between the 2.5 and 3.0l actuator?
