Cruise Control Switch: Service and Repair

Cruise Control Switches:

ADJUSTMENT
The release switch (6) must be adjusted at the same time the stoplamp and torque converter clutch (TCC) switch is adjusted. The clutch switch (5) or clutch anticipate switch (4) cannot be adjusted until after clutch pedal (20) is installed.

NOTICE: Proper stoplamp switch adjustment is essential. Improper stoplamp switch adjustment will cause brake drag and excessive brake lining wear.

Adjust
1. To adjust, depress brake pedal or clutch pedal and insert release switch (6), stoplamp and TCC switch (7), and clutch switch (5) or clutch anticipate switch (4) into pedal with bracket (20 or 21) until retainer on release switch (6), stoplamp and TCC switch (7), or clutch switch (S) or clutch anticipate (4) is fully seated.
2. Slowly pull brake or clutch pedal rearward with a force of 222 N (50 pounds) until "click" sounds can no longer be heard. At this point, release switch (6), stoplamp and TCC switch (7), and clutch switch (5) or clutch anticipate (4) will have moved retainers to their original position.

Measure
^ The release switch and stoplamp and TCC switch contacts should be open at 25.4 mm (1 inch) or less of pedal travel, and occur at the same time or before the onset of braking. The brake pedal travel can be up to 25.4 mm (1 inch) before the cruise control system disengages.
