In this video, Mike shows you how to install a cruise control switch on a T1N Sprinter without removing the steering wheel. The official instructions involve dropping the steering column to install the switch and since we just got a lot of front end and steering work done, we chose to do it like this.

@wingingit3071 3 года назад

and now you have pushed a sudden urge for me to have cruise control, What does the programming side of things involve? is this something that can be done using a laptop and software? is this your trade secret? oh how I wish I lived in Florida so that I could shadow all that knowledge from you :) Top video once again

@FloridaVanMan 3 года назад

It requires very special software. For example, Mercedes DAS won't do it without famously phoning home to mother Mercedes for the coding value. Our method doesn't require this. Trade secret yes ;)

I've found for the fuse panel cover latch, a quarter does the best job as opposed to a screwdriver :P

@FloridaVanMan 3 года назад

Ah yes, but turning the latch isn't the hard part. Some vans will pop the cover off when the latch is rotated. This one has to be payed off and can see the scars around it from years of previous owners prying at it.

I have a 2006 Sprinter Van with cruise control. It worked fine for the first few months that I owned the van. Now all of sudden it stopped working. Does anyone have some advice for me? Has anyone experienced this, could not find any videos about this anywhere.

you can get the ECM pin connectors from Mercedes.

One thing I’d like to mention is it’s not hard to remove the pins from the harness and can easily be done inside the van. I regret cutting the connector from my parts van.

Yes. Your pin-out will be the same as our 2002-2003 model vans. As soon as I find the images I used a few months ago it will be shared in the description. For now this link may have everything you need. sprinter-source.com/forums/index.php?threads/16419/

The wires into the ECM are a bit different, but the process is the same. If you use the donation links with a note I will reply with some information from my 2003 Cruise install.

@vanlifebiker 2 года назад

Why would my cruise control only work at around 30 miles per hour or less ?? 50 miles per hour it won't engage at all. It's a 2006 & has new stock sized K02 tires but did it with last set of tires too & they were a little bigger but the same size.

Your ECM probably won't support it and swapping the ECM from donor van may not fit your wire harness or options.

@aleckwright1607 Год назад

I wonder if my t1n's previous owner did an after market install of the cruise control! Maybe you sprinter experts know better than me but for some reason almost all the time (with very rare exceptions) my cruise control will disengage when I use a turn signal. Is that normal? I've never had that be the case on any other vehicle I've driven. also at one point jostling the cruise control made the turn signals stop working though not the hazard lights, and jostling it again made them work again. I wonder if maybe it could be something to do with the multifunction switch...

@FloridaVanMan Год назад

Sounds like trouble in the multi-function switch.

You can add cruise control with manual transmission and Sprintshift but we only have automatic transmission Sprinters in the USA so I am not familiar with the different installation process.

@FloridaVanMan 2 года назад

You need to make sure your van has ESP & ABS, if so the factory stalk will be compatible and you can just install & program to enable. Otherwise, i believe there are third party options out there

@stevebitz214 3 года назад

Here in the UK I have a 2002 313cdi **without** ABS. I've been told fitting the above Mercedes cruise control stalk on mine will not work due to no speed control pulse from the ABS, is this true? However I have found out there is a speed pulse on the back of the speedo which after market cruise control kits use, surely this could be used for the Mercedes cruise control?

@FloridaVanMan 3 года назад

I cannot confirm, but I have read a discussion explaining the same, stock CC will not work on your van. Sorry.

@kuusemets 3 года назад

If you want to use original Cruise Control, than you need ABS! Otherwise won't work. Aftermarket ones working different and you can use those.

@aleksandrzinkevics1253 Год назад

Is not about speed,is about brake light switch. Still doable via additional module

ECM needs to have cruise control enabled.

We were unable to initiate cruise control with Star. Mike used another software/hardware package that he will explain in an upcoming video. Stay Tuned.

@FloridaVanMan 2 года назад

Many Euro models won't accept factory cruise and aftermarket kit is the only way to make it happen. I'm not sure if that is your van or not. If you don't have ABS I'm pretty sure it factory won't work for you.
