If its like most other cruise control systems..

Press here

Then press the accel button once on top of "press here" in the pic?

thanks,

ive tryed pressing nearly everything , seems to not respond to anything i do,

was thinking maybe a fuse somewere???

checks the fuse box and they all seem fine, (unless the fuse was removed)

or fuse maybe under the bonnet???

Umm, just to clarify, you turn it on then flip the top switch downwards towards "set" and nothing happens? Is there a beep or any orange cruise lights? Does anything come up on the rhs lcd on the dash- it should show the distance bars at least.

yes thats wat i tought happens as i had a look in the owners manual,

when i press on, it beeps once, the orange ,and (green?) cruise light comes on ( the light boxed in the pic above)

ill then press toward set and nothing happens,

i was under the impression that the rhs lcd comes up with the speed and that, but it just still says (D) drive

Orange light means a fault. Does the distance sensor symbol in the rhs lcd screen on the dash flash? Mine did that and it ended up being dirty panels in the grille and front of the radar sensor (behind the nissan nadge at the front).

Otherwise it'll need to be put on the consult and then once you've been told it's unfixable, fit aftermarket....

BTW, if there's no other symbols in the lcd then maybe the radar sensor is kaput (or missing). It sits at the front of the car behind the grille. Nissan want about $1800 for a new one...you may be able to get a better price if you know them but don't expect much change out of $12-1500. Best to find another stagie with cruise and swap the sensor and see if it fixes it.

Then have a chat to Chris Rogers- he may have spares which are more affordable (or fit aftermarket cruise which although not radar, uses the factory buttons, does more than 110km/h and he also can put stereo buttons on the steering wheel as well)

If your tyring it over 110 it wont work. That is the limit. I have this option on my car if you want to swap a part over and try your welcome. It sounds like its trying to work. Unless the radar is dirty behind the lens and in front it might be seeing an object and shuting it down also.

The cruise control even thou its a smart thing its a pain. It always sees cars on corners coming towards you and slows your car down. And on the high way it will only let you do 109kmh

that would make me so sad.... :(

well basically my importer said mine is working the problem is that I cannot engage if I am doing less than 60 or more than 110 which 110 sucks

I am going to try it again tonight see if that works I will be back in his place tomorrow to double checkl

    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
    • You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.
    • The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:
