My cruise control has never worked since I bought this 94 850 earlier this year. Should a light come on the dash when it's switched on to let you know it's on? Nothing happens when I turn the switch to on, then press the button to set it.
Wondering where to look first for this?
Thanks,
If it's the same as my '95, then, no--there is no light on the dash showing it's active.
The cruise control failed on mine a few months after I bought the car new in '95 and it was fixed under warranty. It's been fine ever since.
cheers,
Henry
Thanks Joe, Thats probably it. My 850 has a faulty ABS unit that triggers the ABS light intermittantly. I'll bet that I never tried to turn on the Cruise control when the ABS light was actually off. I'll have to try that next week when I take a drive.
I've been putting off changing the ABS unit for this whole time because my local dealer tells me that they are notoriously of poor quality, so I didnt want to have to buy one now and then again later when it goes out again, guess if I want my CC to work, I'll have to pony up the cash.
There is a fellow who is fixing these ABS units and so far all reports are positive.
His price is about 1/4 of what Volvo charges!
