'95 Geo Prism - No Cruise Control

In this video I have a look at a 1995 Geo Prism that was dropped off with a customer complaint of no cruise control. Service data lead us right to the problem and it was a no parts required fix for this fella. Ivan would be proud!

I had Corolla 94 1,3i manual and it had 64 kW=88 HP, Ok no "torks". This 1,8 manual, if it's not detuned for US, should be quicker than Golf 3 Gti and serious sleeper which embarrases Honda boys at lights:)

[@Tegelane5]

@@2zer084 Given my 1,3 was 64Kw, I thought 1,8 could have been close to 100kW not HP. As euro 1,6 was already 84 kw=110HP. But US 1,8 was probably detuned for low end torque, and nicer drivability, not max torque at 4000 rpm. And I was talking about manuals, not slushboxes.

The fact this car is still going in upstate ny is blowing my mind. Looks great too. I guess the fact that this person is paying to fix the cruise means they really care about this thing and that’s why it’s still going. Crazy to me.

Perhaps the exhaust manifold was cracked, was unobtanium, and this was indeed the one person to purchase the header. And since we are getting so much more flow from the header, we might as well go all the way and let her “really breathe”😊.

The first car I ever drove with cruise I had to try it, was an after market system, pushed the button to turn it on and the car immediately accelerated full throttle, hit the brake but it kept going...... sheer panic trying to work out how to turn it off, I was in town at the time, 30mph limit and the cruise was set to 80 I later found out, whoever fitted it bypassed the brake switches. It was years before I tried another one, now would be without it. Good fix Eric.

[@michaeldouglas1625]

My Jeep had a similar cruise control issue. I finally tracked mine down to the neutral safety switch. Someone jumped the wires to bypass the switch so the computer always thought it was in park. A simple cleaning of the neutral safety switch and undoing the jumper wire fixed all of my issues.

Once again, Eric shows why you approach diagnosing a failure systematically. I have a 2000 Porsche Boxster that the cruise control went out. Thought it was going to be a new module (for several hundred dollars) but as I worked through the failure, it turned out it was the cruise control indicator light bulb in the dash burned out which disables the entire system. Bulb was less than $1 (which I happened to have on hand anyway). Again, work and diagnose the failure. Don't guess. Thanks again Mr. O.

I had an interesting cruise control problem on a Mazda 626 where the cruise control would drop out occasionally and it turned out to be a melted rear tail light socket and the running lights were drawing current through the brake light due to a bad ground. I didn't figure it out until one time during the day when it started raining and when I turned the lights on boom no cruise control. Great video as always Eric and I like the "No parts required" nod to Ivan.

[@tomoakhill8825]

When I learned to drive manual transmissions were "standard" and you paid a line-item price for the upgrade to an automatic. My family owned three cars, Mom's, Dad's, and a beater for the two (then three) driving kids. All three were manual transmissions. Our house was on a street with three ways out of the neighborhood: all three ended at Stop Signs at the top of short, steep, upgrades. That was just the lay of the land. It was Michigan, deep in the snow belt. I, and my siblings, learned to operate a clutch with incredible precision and accuracy. We had no choice. Starting on a showy up slope is not a problem for me. I could steel this car in a flash.

[@efil4kizum]
