52 reg 1.6 active. looked for the wires today. The connector is near the battery area, but nothing going into the cabin.

Me being me, I tried connecting wires to the connector and then passing them through the window, just to see if it would work. Went for a spin, crossed the right wires over and voila CC fully working.


The question is, what is the best place to get the wires through the bulkhead and into the cabin so I can wire it up properly with the switch. I couldn't see any where at all to get the wires through.


I know others have done this, so any help would be appreciated. Maybe I'm just blind.....

Sounds daft but the Stilo guides tells how to get a power cable through the bulkhead to the glove compartment. I did it myself when getting an amp powered up in the boot. Try there, hard work getting a big cable through but a couple of small guage wires should be easy.

Boz, that is the best routing. I thought I put pictures on my Cruise Control guide??

rroope, I have never seen that guide (as I have already got CC).

I wish I knew about this when I routed my 0 guage through the bulkhead. Looks so much easier than the other guide. Well done that man.:slayer:

Rich,

Sorry for being pathetic, but where is your guide ?

My Vec has cruise and it is useful. i've also got it for my Stag, but haven't fitted it yet, because the engine is out at the moment.


Thanks

Cheers for that Boz! I think I was too drunk to link up my guide!!

Class, a job for the weekend!

I bought a cruise lever from a 1.6 TS 147 to install in my 1.8 Stilo. All the wiring done according to the guide for a semi predisposed Stilo (brown connector) and done well. 12V from the F35 fuse is active. I only get a P1565 Cruise control level line fatal error-invalid signal and a brief flash of the enabled CC light. Also the message CC switched on on the LCD, which promptly disappears. Proxi alingment was done, despite the car saying it's not needed.

Anyone have any ideas?

Anyone?

If it helps
Speed Control Command Switch, Out of Range, High.

Kinda confusing as there's nothing that I can think of where it would be 'out of range'

Its a simple voltage system voltage goes in and comes out on 1 of 4 pins... there has to be a constant feed down 1 of the pins for CC activation... check your main feed and your 'On' signal from the switch at D4 brown connector

The feed is taken straight from the F35 dedicated fuse and has show a nice 12V, although I shall reconnect everything and try to establish if these signals are constantly present.

The fatal part of the error message says to me that something died, went missing. Fuses aren't blowing, cables sure as hell aren't vanishing...and this car with this engine has to support cruise control.

Im pretty sure fatal in MES means inoperable... its a bad translation. I personally think the issue lies with your feed into the ECU... I dont know of anyone on FF who has successfully put it into a 1.8 although there must be some one here who has lol

What about the lever itself? Are they interchangeable between petrol and diesel versions? This one is from a 147 TS and a 147 JTD didn't want to accept it.

Perhaps the lever itself is faulty?

As far as I know they are compatible but im not certain about wiring pin outs from the alfa stalk... maybe try testing with a multimeter

Yeah, seeing as pins were an unknow, my electrician friend and I went and tested it, not too much of a hassle. I think that the most probable cause is the wiring towards the engine ECU. The fault message is stored there, so the signal coming to it disturbs it. If it didn't support CC, there would be nothing at all, no errors or lights popping up.

The easy way is to back probe at the ecu plug and D4 check for continuity and shorts in all 4 wires.

Would love to help more but my laptop is out of action due to a dicky cooling fan... ill be back on full form next week

Exactly what I plan to do. Just need to find some time to dig in.

also with p1565 error...any updates on this?

followed guide to retrofit to brown connector with alfa stalk....
