couple of problems

[350zblack]

any help apprechiated

 

firstly my cruise control doesnt seem to activate, the green 'cruise' light comes on but when setting it the 'set' light doesnt not come on?

 

secondly when pressing 'load' on my bose cd player, it allows me to select which number to load i.e 1 2 3 4 5 or 6, but once i select a number to load it just clicks and clicks not allowing me to enter a cd then eventually it was say 'please eject', sometime when i hit eject it still says 'please eject,' other times it will just click and click with nothing happening?

 

thanks in advance

Ok are you deffo setting the cruise properly?...not being funny with you its just it took me ages to work out how to set it (pulling the top switch down after activating cruise control).

 

I had a merc where it wouldnt activate and that was a brake sensor.

 

Other than that i'll leave it to the tech heros on here!

see owners hand book:

page 5.16 deals with the cruise control operation - make sure you follow the procedure stated and see if that works

 

4.17-4.18 deals with the CD operation. Not sure what is going on in your case but it almost makes me wonder if there 6 CDs already installed - have you tried ejecting only to see if that works? Otherwise it sounds as though a CD might be jammed inside....

thanks for that but i already have my owners manual.

yes i followed the cruise control operations each time ive tried it and still no joy, any ideas?

 

and as for the CD problem, yes i have tried to just eject instead of load but all i get is the 'clicking' noise as if its trying to do something but then just ends up going blank after around 30seconds, again any ideas?

Cruise control you have to be over 30mph for it to work ( not sure what speed your trying at)!

 

Or you could just get a stick and lodge it againist the seat and go faster pedal

 

Other that that I'm all out sorry

Cruise control not activating could be the switch on the clutch or brake

Might be two unrelated issues so its worth noting that your cruise control will not engage when the temps are low and roads liable ice over

 

Usually there will be the sign "icy" on the rightnost dial on the center console tripod and if you press the CC buton the cruise lits comes one with the set light which flickers and they both go off.

 

Its just on more safety feature to stop you from loosing your guard in treacherous conditions Infact you should avoid using it even in the rain. Its suitable for normal driving conditions only.

Even resting your foot on the clutch can be enough for the cruise not to engage aswell.

Yip thats the one I had on the Merc.......switch on the brake or something.

+1..found that out few weeks ago after a year or so

[350zblack]

thanks for all the replies, still lost though as - temp has been above 9c everytime ive tried, - only tried on motorway at 70mph, - not resting foot near clutch or brake.

looks like it could be a sensor fault.

[350zblack]

is there any way of manually ejecting the cd's with the stereo removed?

[geoff-r]

How old is the car? If it's still in warranty I'd let Nissan have a go at it.

I fix Bose units. If your unit was a non skipping cd unit It can be repaired easily. Can be a number of minor things from a simple cd jam (unit still needs stripping) to a dislodged spring. PM sent pal.
