In this case, the cruise will fire up, and if I do a left turn signal, the cruise will drop off. That is the normal modality. The second modality, which it is in right now is not coming on at all. The conclusion I have come to is that the problem is electrical.

Try holding the button on and see if the throttle catches up until you let go, unless it's a bad leak that should work, but it'll quickly drop off (like, as soon as you let go of the button). > Loren > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Val Christian <[email protected]> > To: vwdiesel <[email protected]> > Sent: Sat, Mar 21, 2015 2:58 pm > Subject: [Vwdiesel] Cruise Switch > > > I have a cruise control switch which kept dropping out cruise.
