update on the lack of cruise control
Allright, to date here is all I have tried:
1. Switches on steering wheel- all is good
2. Brake switch- FSM procedures followed and all is good
3. Fuse- good, power to the fuse and after the fuse
4. Speed sensor- good there
5. Vacuum- Meets FSM requirements
6. cable from linkage to servo- solid and attached at both ends
7. servo- works on both my 1st gens when swapped to check
What's left is the clockspring, I presume. I have no power to the servo, and no power on the female plug that attaches to the switches on the steering column, and I followed test procedures acording to FSM. The dealer wants $155.00 for a new clockspring, and unfortunately there isn't a test procedure on the FSM for a clockspring fault. I realize some of you have replaced the C-spring, but did you all pay that outrageous amount? Any other sources? Any other troubleshooting procedure that I am missing??

C'mon... no advise on the clock springs? Hopefully some one here has a better source than $155.00 dealer cost!

I called my local NAPA and I believe this was the one they were telling me about. made for a 97 and up. Unless someone has already tried this one type, I'll wait a few. Thanks, though!

Let me know how this works out for you bigragu. I too have had no cruise control and have tried numerous things to no avail. I hope this works out but would having a broken clockspring affect something other than the cruise control?

I had to replace the clockspring on mine right after I got it because, well, it was half-way gone! I got it for employee cost of $90, reg $144. Lemme know if I can be of assistance with this purchase. I could save you about $50 after tax+shipping.
