<E28>Cruise Control Problem

[Pearson-Franks Family <pearsonf@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Robert.

First place to look is at the cut-out switches associated
with the brake and clutch pedals.  It is not uncommon for
them to 'fall out of adjustment', and not allow the cruise
function to engage.

A terrible thought:  the sub-frame that mounts the pedals
and the clutch master cylinder flexes, fatigues and breaks
on these guys.  If it has, the clutch will feel 'funny'
(big help, I know!) and the cut-out switch will be impossible
to adjust.  If you have to go there, drop me another note,
and I can talk you through _that_ one!

Good luck!  Larry F.

     number in it, to help us skimmers!  lf
