On the switch? If so does it illuminate the cruise on, or just a little led?
If you could, show me a picture cause right now I'm confused lol.

 

94 Ram, right? Lite should be on the 'button' next to the switch.

 

Yup 94 Ram.



I can say it's not on the button or switch

 

Yeah, lite should be on the steering wheel switch set then. Right next to the on/off button. Little green LED. Does that come on?

 

Still see no led, but I took the switch off and knocked a lot of crap out of it, I put it back in and when it hit the on button, I can hear a relay or a click in the engine bay, and again when I turn it off. So I'mpretty sure the switch works. I went to look at the cruise servo, and saw a tiny black hose, so I started the truck and sure enough, it's a vacuum hose leads right to the servo, but I cannot fingure out where it connects there. Here's a pic:


So if that's the hose that rots out I just need to connect it back, and at least that part should work I'm guessing. Still need to check the brake switch.


So to add on, I've had the strangest things with the radio today. I took the truck for a spin in the neighborhood, the orange leds come on, and then all of a sudden the clock comes on. So I turn the radio on and boom it works. I take it back to the house and still working when I park it, I turn the truck off and back on, and still working. At this point I'm thinking wow. So I start playing with all the buttons, everything works as normal, so I sit and listen for about 3 minutes, and while seeking the stations, It cuts out on sound, and the radio literally freezes, where the buttons do nothing, like it's done before. So I'm just dumbfounded now on what could be. I'm just thinking now a head unit, bc of how it glitches but, still, if anyone else has an idea.

I don't know if it's normal, but when I tested ohms on the radio ground circuit with the truck off its a normal level, but with the ignition on or in acc postion, it raises to about 30 ohms. And that's grounding to the Frame, and multiple other places.

 

Looks like you're right Christian. That is different than any I've seen personally. On all of the 94-97 trucks I've seen the left button is on/off with the next one being blank (your "cruise on" button). In the top middle of that button is a green LED normally.

A quick cruise on Google isn't helping me any either, other than showing me a few switches like yours for sale on eBay. Sorry I'm not more help.

 

Hey thanks for the input. I got a little confused there, and was wondering why my switch was different than what I saw on google. But it seems to be doing something, so I guess that's not the problem, i need to fix that cruise vacuum line and hopefully it works.

 

My 94 has separate off switch, and on switch and there are no LED lights.

My cruise works now. I had the vacuum hose broke. So I took some vinyl 1/4in hose I had laying around, and heated it up and showed it over the line on the cruise servo, then put some heat schrink over it, next took the line, and put it over what's left of the factor plastic line, and heat shrunk it, ziptied it to hold everything in place and it works! Yea switch or dash has no light, they must've had it in the early years like that.




So now I got that, I want to look back at the radio again, or Mayberry just see what y'all think. So the radio has been working for the last two days as it should. I go to start it this morning, and it thinks there's a tape in it, so mess with it and nothing gets it out of tape mode. It keeps moving the tape tray like there's something in it. Then I grab a tape, press eject to get the tray up, put it in halfway so when the tray wants to go back down it can't, and like that it cuts back to radio and normal function, and hasn't gone back into tape. Just out of curiosity, I take the tape and stick It in and it doesn't do anything, so now stuck on radio. Have to figure out how to get the tape out now lol. Not sure why it's been so weird. It seems like the head unit is going out by the way it's acting, or one thing is screwy in the radio. So if anyone has any input on this matter let me know.

In a couple of days I'm going to start on the power locks. Thanks!

 

Think I would replace the head unit, being how screwy it is.......
