I was responding to the turn signal problem. If the highbeam indicator doesnt turn on, that means the cluster is not connected.

 

^ah he got that working, said his hazard switch wasnt plugged in. hehe

 

Thanks for all the suggestions. I won't be able to try to fix it for a couple days. I am keeping my fingers crossed

 

iirc, i believe the other comments are correct, the dash cruise light won't light up unless you're actually driving and set a speed.




btw -- you want some fun random entertainment? find a long empty stretch of road and set the cruise control @ 30-35 mph in 1st gear -- then HOLD ON!

 

^ what happen Phillip?
BTW did you call me yesterday?

 

yup -- i did call you John. email returned.


also, this is what happens. the throttle response of the car is much quicker in responding than the cruise control system. so, it ends up like you're riding a bucking bronco. if you set it at 35, it will hammer you up to redline, then yank back down to 20, then back up to 40, then back to 20.... and it does this within about a second or so. it's quite funny actually. it can never quite find and settle at 35.

i had a controls class where we spent a lot of time discussing leading and lagging controls system. in 1st gear, it's definitely a lagging system.

i'd highly advise you to do this on a straight, as turning becomes just about impossible....

 

^lol, sounds funny

to the OP: everything is fixed, you just have to be driving and set the cruise control for the dash light to light up

 

^We need him to acknowledge that.

 

I think the problem was I wasn't going fast enough when I was trying to turn it on. Whatever the problem was, it is working now. Thanks for all of your suggestions.
