Well..im completely useless in finishing these blogs off... anyhow, the battery flattening was found, and to my amazement it turned out to be the clock! YES THE CLOCK!
I swapped it for another and it never went flat again!
The next request after sorting it all out was to install cruise control, as the car was a late model with it already in the ECU.
Items required:
XM type cruise stalk lever
5 Core cable from ECU to the steering colum
Dash On Off switch (if you like)
An XM 2.5 TD Brake pedal for ECU off when brakes applied.
Initially I tried a Brake No connection Relay setup, however, this proved useless, as the ecu didnt like it, I eventually narrowed it down to Switch Timing! The ECU needs to see the Cruise Knock off BEFORE brake lights applied, and as the relay worked off the same switch, it didnt like it. However, an original Cruise brake pedal has the switchs setup so that cruise knocks off then brake likes, it then liked this.
Threading the cable isnt to bad, you can go out the side of the A pillar near the loom to the door, then inside the A pillar, turn forwards, behind the arch liner theres a grommet in the A pillar, pop it out and thread it out...
You can then take it over the top of the arch liner and in by the washer bottle filler and into the ECU box..
Then make the 4 pin connections in the ECU.. 68,69, 74 and 14 I THINK...
Then wire up the lever..
And install the dash button if you wish,
and swap the brake pedal and wire that up...
Job done, wire connections are on here in other areas..
The car all finished returned to its owner, and has now since been sold on ebay by its owner..
