legal? illegal?
Why did the 740/760 Volvo cars haven't got the CC light in the dash then?gltease wrote:Read some legal USA mumbo jumbo, and it looks like CC indicator light is a legal requirement, so maybe thats why Volvo stuck the dash thing in there, maybe they did not get round to bothering with the electrics as it did not get sold in US...
Re: Cruise Control - make the 'cruise' light work
Bringing back to life this old thread as I'm going to mount a CC into my 1991 Turbo in a couple of weeks.
When you /they say managed to make the Cruise light work only when the pump is acting, meaning the CC is engaged, is you wired from pos. 1 of the CC control unit to pos. 9 in the green socket at the back of the instruments board or somehow directly to the bulb? Thanks

Re: Cruise Control - make the 'cruise' light work
I think I've found a way around to make the CC light work only when the pump is engaged without having to mess with the intruments board to avoid burning he board again.
Its a T5 LED bulb into a conventional T5 Socket wired directly from pin 1 of the CC and then grounded to the under-the-dashboards courtesy lights or to the keyhole light ground.
You'll need a old or fused filament type T5 and a LED one.
Remove the filament bulb from it's plastic socket by pushing the two side metalic tabs, detach the bulb from the side metalic plates and out them back in place.
If you want to put the T5 into any other position in the borad you just need to bend the pins to make them have proper contact with the side plates and put it in the right polarity, but this time I need them o be completely isolated from the side plates.
Take te bulb itself from it's plastic socket, isolate one of the wires and put it back in it's socket.
Now drill two tiny holes in the bottom of the original T5 socket, pass the two led wires throug the holes.
Then connect the to two wires the way you find it's better.
Correct me if I'm wrong. Positive will go to pin 1 in the CC control unit, ground to any available aroung the dashboard.
