E32 Cruise control.

[Coffee&Doughnut 0]

I recently picked up a 735il which is great , but the cruise control does not work, nothing happens, so I was wondering where to start or what sort of things usually go wrong with the cruise control function? If anyone has any thoughts on the subject ?

I checked all fuses and there is nothing out of order, apart from the cruise control ECU I am not sure what else to check.

Wheel speed sensors?

you might find its a problem associated with the stalk or buttons for the cruise control.

stz is right, check the stalk first, they reglarly break the connections on the e32's

The stalk switch mechanism appears to function ok, so would I need to check the wiring and connections at the switch?

If the problem was the wheel speed sensors would that affect any other functions, obviously the speedo and instrument cluster works. Are the wheel speed sensors expensive?
