Factory Cruise Control....BROKEN!!

[avante]

When I bought my '86 RT142 Corona a couple of months ago, one of the sweeteners on the deal was the fact that it had Cruise Control. (Must admit, pretty bling for an '86 model car, let alone a corona! )

I thought "Sweet!". Living so close to the M4 & M7 motorways, I thought it'd come right in handy!

Upon test driving, I discovered it didn't work, didn't think it was a "biggy" anyways.

When activated, the panel's LED lights up like it works. Trying to set it, back off the throttle, and nothing happens

Is it safe to assume that this is a Toyota wide part fitted to many cars of similar vintage, and not a specific RT-142 thing?

So, I ask all you experts:
What's the go with these?
How do you repair them?
Can anybody reccomend a certain repairer to undertake the job of restoring my cruise?

Im suriving without it for now, but would sure would come in handy (It's more wow factor I guess )

Cheers all

You've gotta find the problem first.

Get a RT142 TSRM, it will give you step by step instructions on find the problem.

There is probably 10 or 15 things that can go wrong.

Try this though
