Hello,
I am trying to troubleshoot my cruise control not working on my 02 AWM 1.8 T manual Passat.
Here are the facts:
1. Cruise light comes on when cruise engaged.
2. About the same time I noticed the cruise malfunction, I also noticed an unusual behavior of the car when shifting gear: a sudden acceleration. This phenomenon is not very consistent.
3. I removed the clutch switch and tested for continuity: with switch depressed it reads 0.2 Ohm.
4. I tested switch for leaks (switch depressed and blowing) and I could not detect any.
5. The top contact part of the switch (white button) was broken and missing.
The thing that puzzle me the most is the absence of a "vacuum line". I have read various posts on this blog and others and everyone talks about "vacuum lines" connected to the clutch and brake switches.
To my surprise, when I removed the old switch no vacuum line was attached to the switch and after very careful inspection of the area I could not detect any vacuum lines.
I do know that the CC system varies depending on the car year and engine code, but I thought that all models had the vacuum line on the switches.
Am I missing to locate the vacuum line?
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
