Cruise control stopped

Hey all,

More of a reader and lurker than poster.

My 2012 150 GX Manual, cruise control stopped working, I believe from doing some searching its the clock spring fault but maybe some others can define it to be that.

Assuming it is it, safe to grab one from the wreckers? assuming a semi reasonable price.

Light does not activate(turn on)cruise unless its 30deg from horizontal and wont set unless in same position so my theory this is eliminating brake/clutch issues and once set (damn hard to find a road that tight i can set on) it releases fine on clutch depress and it set fine once in that spot.

I had a noisy clutch pedal and turned out to the bushes had gone. they are replaced and works great and seemed a bit of co-incidence cruise broke maybe next day, cant be 100% sure as dont use it all the time.

Is there anything down there that would effect angle it works etc. i've also tried turning wheel full L and R to see if will reset and to no avail, it turns on everwhere except when wheels are straight ahead.

Thanks

Toy

ok.. So no bites.

Next question maybe someone knows. Does the GXL clock spring work ok in the GX without steering buttons.
Its a future upgrade (might buy bits off ebay) but want to get the clock spring first.

They are readily available on eBay, I wouldn't buy a used one. Fairly simple job, there's some videos online and info on this forum.

The main thing is to make sure that everything is aligned, wheels facing forward. Also leave the steering wheel nut on, but loose as you remove the steering wheel. Stops it suddenly coming off as you pry it loose.
