I recently was diagnosing the CC on the MJ and found a defective multi-switch/stalk, replaced with a new one hoping for a quick resolution but no joy. I plan on thoroughly verifying all circuit inputs and outputs next and see what is going on there... That can be a pain. It could be a faulty regulator to just simply a vacuum issue not engaging cruise control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping it's a easy vacuum issue... 17 hours ago, saveevryjp1998 said: I should have remembered that, I have both or had. I believe the 86 back ones I have had were metal or at least pulled a few that were. I'm also wondering then if these were made and used by about everything auto brand back then and hence the adapters more for make and model reasons. That being said, perhaps there is a way to find nos stock under different auto manufacturers. If by chance you find the regulator is faulty and eaglescout526 doesn't have spare, I have several. I guess I should save and pull cruise stalks the next time I hit any renix honey holes. Right on thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzaman09 Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 I'm having a bit of trouble with my cruise after getting it installed. When I engage it with the set/coast button it will just continue to accelerate. I have set the potentiometers to the factory settings, the low speed potentiometer was set very high when I received the control box. Does anyone have any thoughts to check into before I start fiddling with settings? I will say that sometimes it does set to a speed near the speed I wanted but not exactly, usually a bit low.

eaglescout526 Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 You’ll need to keep playing with the pots in the control until you get it dialed in. That’s how they did it back then. Once your comfortable with where the adjustments are, send it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will adjust it some more tomorrow to get it perfect, as I need to drive to Buffalo. Only thing I find odd is the acceleration feature, it doesn't hold the speed you accelerate too, it just drops back down to the previously set speed after letting off the accelerate switch.

Yes it is supposed to do this. If you press the set button and set it and say you need to drop to a lower speed, you hold the button until you get to the desired speed and it will set. But if you wan to set a new acceleration, use the switch and then press the button and it should set too. But still a neat function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 99 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight has the same exact same control stock, and if you accelerate, it holds the new accelerated speed automatically.

ECU controls most of that stuff vs the crude circuit board with a single logic chip in a box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglescout526 Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 You have to look at 84-90 XJs. It’s above the brake pedal. Or you make your own. I’ve found that both 4 wheel drive and cruise control Jeeps will have the bracket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours for shipping cost if you still need it. You don't have cruise control right, (if you did you'd already have the bracket)? I just did the swap on the XJ, but had to get a little creative to use the new switch and retain the vac dump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conker Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Appreciate both of you, I managed to source the bracket off a local guy. Was pleasantly surprised to find there weren't any fitment issues being used in a manual truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. I’m low or out of stock on a couple parts. I have everything else though. 89XJ is Renix so yes it would work. Hell these would work in an HO XJ. I can assemble a “kit” of all the parts I have remaining, I’d have to make the vac harness unless you wish to make your own and you would have to source the 4 port “football” vacuum reservoir, brake switch and the stalk that controls cruise.
