Can the cruise control work with a 197 steering wheel?

[jps]

Mine doesn't work and would find it really useful - does anyone know if it can be done?

Absolutely it can be done. There's a full guide in the knowledge base guides section.

Mine only works once in a blue moon with the original steering wheel. I need to press the button 50-100x to set the cruise speed. No exaggeration.

I already cleaned up the switches contacts, brake & clutch pedal switches but still no improvement. Bloody French electrics!

On mine, cruise control is fully operational with the 197 wheel, and has been for the last 5 years or so, and operates in exactly the same way as it did with the original steering wheel.

They're just buttons with resistors in, if they dont work then either the resistor values are wrong in the new wheel or the cable down the column has broken.

Guide mentioned above is here for anyone struggling to find it : knowledge/78

Shows how to connect everything up, but no troubleshooting details on resistance levels or anything like that.

However, it could easy be that whoever did the wheel change simply didn't bother connecting the leads up as they're not "plug and play" from original wheel to 197.

Mine worked fine, but I must admit I never actually used it.

I'll be honest, I still really want to get this working but I am no good with technical stuff like that lol

Does anyone know anyone around the Manchester/Leeds area that would be able to hook up my cruise control on my wheel?

Have you diagnosed the issue? Are you sure it's the steering wheel? No point in messing with that if the arming switch is goosed, or the wires are broken, or some other similar issue.

Nope no idea, I would not want to start taking the steering wheel off myself. This is why I need to find someone who knows what they are doing lol but not sure where to go for this kind of thing.
