ive tryed pressing nearly everything , seems to not respond to anything i do,

was thinking maybe a fuse somewere???

checks the fuse box and they all seem fine, (unless the fuse was removed)

or fuse maybe under the bonnet???

Umm, just to clarify, you turn it on then flip the top switch downwards towards "set" and nothing happens? Is there a beep or any orange cruise lights? Does anything come up on the rhs lcd on the dash- it should show the distance bars at least.

yes thats wat i tought happens as i had a look in the owners manual,

when i press on, it beeps once, the orange ,and (green?) cruise light comes on ( the light boxed in the pic above)

ill then press toward set and nothing happens,

i was under the impression that the rhs lcd comes up with the speed and that, but it just still says (D) drive

Same problem we have with our cruise control - it's like no point Having this extra. Hope someone can help

Orange light means a fault. Does the distance sensor symbol in the rhs lcd screen on the dash flash? Mine did that and it ended up being dirty panels in the grille and front of the radar sensor (behind the nissan nadge at the front).

Otherwise it'll need to be put on the consult and then once you've been told it's unfixable, fit aftermarket....

BTW, if there's no other symbols in the lcd then maybe the radar sensor is kaput (or missing). It sits at the front of the car behind the grille. Nissan want about $1800 for a new one...you may be able to get a better price if you know them but don't expect much change out of $12-1500. Best to find another stagie with cruise and swap the sensor and see if it fixes it.

Then have a chat to Chris Rogers- he may have spares which are more affordable (or fit aftermarket cruise which although not radar, uses the factory buttons, does more than 110km/h and he also can put stereo buttons on the steering wheel as well)

If your tyring it over 110 it wont work. That is the limit. I have this option on my car if you want to swap a part over and try your welcome. It sounds like its trying to work. Unless the radar is dirty behind the lens and in front it might be seeing an object and shuting it down also.

The cruise control even thou its a smart thing its a pain. It always sees cars on corners coming towards you and slows your car down. And on the high way it will only let you do 109kmh

that would make me so sad....

well basically my importer said mine is working the problem is that I cannot engage if I am doing less than 60 or more than 110 which 110 sucks

I am going to try it again tonight see if that works I will be back in his place tomorrow to double checkl
