Ok to sum up what I have done so far:
replaced cruise control relay on under dash panel in front of passenger.
Installed new Mag sensor . Hooked it to yellow wires w/ green stripe per Chuck at Newell. He thought the white/green were for speedometer.
Adjusted per specs (.030")
Replaced both toggle switches (Cruise on and the set/resume momentary switch)
I pulled all three weather pak fittings on DDEC computer and could not see any corrosion. Each of these plugs contained 2 or 3 wires. I am understanding these are the external inputs/outputs for the DDEC. There is a larger plug which looks to contain 30 pins which I am assuming are the DDEC internal sensors etc that would not apply to my problem. I did not pull that because I do not want to introduce more problems to the scenario unless I find that it could provide a solution for sure. It appears that I will have to remove some brackets etc to access that plug.
I talked to Chuck at Newell. He had no more ideas to offer. I asked about a wire schematic. He said they don't do them since each coach is custom and therefore different. He said they try to use the same color of wires for common items. So I'm stumped!!!
Still when I try to set the cruise I get no green light and no cruise set.
So if I understand this right the components are:
cruise on/off switch
cruise set/resume switch
1 relay
1 magnetic speed pickup
the DDEC computer.
When I start the engine and it is going through its start checks the green "set" light comes on momentarily as it always has.
Is it possible to wire the magnetic pick up backwards?
Are there other components I am missing?
