Hi all,
I have a Jan 03 NP Diesel Manual with a Cruise control issue. I see there are many threads on cruise control issues on this forum and have searched on and off for a couple of years, I finally decided to join the club the other day to ask the question. Below is a post from gecko from a few years ago which is the only post that is the same issue as mine. I messaged him this week and he said he never solved the problem but had sold the car informing the buyer of the issue.
Basically the cruise control works perfectly normal until the engine is warm at which point it turns off completely and won’t come back on until the car is cool. So as gecko has described below hot days I might get a few minutes, cold days I might get 20 min.
I had a mechanic look at it changing relays etc with no fix. I don’t believe it’s the clock spring and gecko replaced his and it made no difference!
Any help on this would be awesome, I use cruise control all the time if I can, so when I don’t have it I really miss it!
I do have another issue which would also love to fix, but I can just ignore because it doesn’t affect driving or safety, which I think may be unrelated, but maybe not? The transfer case warning light flashes after approx 20-30km driving. Turn off engine, startup again and it goes away for another 20 odd km! Never any issues with engaging/disengaging 4WD lock, H/L.
Btw great forum and having this NP Paj has changed my opinion of the old Bitsamissing. I don’t think I’d touch a Nissan or even go back to a Landcruiser now!
Thanks

Question Ideas on Cruise Control fix?
I've been chasing a problem with Cruise Control on my NM exceed. It turns on and works ok for a while but as soon as it warms up... it cuts out and the light turns off. On hot days I might get only a minute or two use. On cooler days 15min.
I've searched through threads here and have tried:
1. Changing the clock spring in steering wheel
2. My mechanic ruled out the brake switch... and gave up thinking it was a problem with the ECU
3. I just had a speed sensor in the transfer case go, and thought replacing that might fix this too... but it made no difference.
Ok, it is not an essential... but I'm curious! Any ideas?? Ta.
