LOST JEEPS :: View topic - No WORKING Cruise When I bought Liberty CRD

Well the wires are already there and installed. Maybe it is original or maybe he also added the wires. I am hoping the switches and wires are correct.

I will go to a different dealer. The last one's tech said he also couldn't find were you would program the injectors so I don't think he really new what he was doing. I said the option was next to that under misc.

When I bought the Jeep used, it had cruise buttons on the steering wheel but they didn't seem to do anything. The on/off button made no action occur nor caused any light to illuminate. When I installed the brush guard I noted the previous owner, I later learned who lied about a bunch of stuff, hit something and bent the front bumper a little. :roll:

This week I tried the “merlin” reset action to no avail and broke down and took it to the dealer to have it reset. Turns out they got no prompt in the DRB3 to allow them to reset it. Today it hit me, I think he blew the front airbag and replaced the wheel with the cruise buttoned wheel I see now.

I went to the Jeep site and entered the VIN to get a build sheet; no cruise is listed.

I also had to put my VIN in a parts website to try and learn the correct EVIC module. When I did, I noticed that there are parts listed for a cruise control. I had thought the cruise was all electronic and just the switches and software were needed. I guess not. The part number is listed as 4669979. The parts are listed here:

https://www.directmoparpart.com/v-2005- ... rol-system

Where should I look for these? Is this a mistake?

So I went to a different dealer hoping for a better experience. They said they would have been happy to do it but their DRB3 died a couple months ago and no replacements are available! I went to a guy with a top of the line Snap-on after (per their recommendation) and it couldn't do it.

DRBIII are going to be dying out soon!

I just found this LOST post about adding cruise to a CRD:
viewtopic.php?f=98&t=37173&start=0

I think the parts website just gave me bad info. No servo is needed for the CRD (maybe that was a generic option listing for any KJ Lbierty). Any ways, I will need to pull the steering wheel cover and see if the wiring harness is there and see if it is connected. I am guessing it is not there and that is why the cruise doesn't work and why no reset option was available for the Jeep stealership. The previous owner POS probably just got the wheel from a junk yard.

Hope this info helps someone one day.

Please let me know if such a thing ever happens. I wish I could rent this tool.

I am unsure of my original theory that the airbags deployed. I can say there are no lights or codes indicating a problem with the SRS. The SRS has a self-check system. I suppose I could speed into a tree and find out though.

Even if the wiring is all there for the cruise switches they have been known to lose the cruise set status. You will need a DRBIII to tell the ECU to relearn the cruise, then the next key cycle it should pickup the cruise control if all wiring and switches are good. I made a couple of videos on this: https://youtu.be/rLIqALEaN4I?t=1271 And: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwpe7uDPmaE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9wzadqCvfI&t=4s Verify your switches and wiring is intact to ECU, I would do a continuity test to the pins on the ECU and then press the different cruise buttons, you should see the resistance readings change with each button press. Knowing that the wiring and buttons are good you could then return to the dealer, show them my youtube video, and get them to use their DRBIII to finish up the install. And yes, mechanical servo is for gasser KJs, diesel is completely drive by wire.

Where are you located, there are a few members here with DRBIIIs.

"Those are for a gasser model." Your right and I it makes sense. On a related note, I will never just trust one of those parts websites that say enter your VIN and you will only get the right parts!

Looks like I need to get on my DRBIII emulator loaner program, this would be the perfect thing for it.

I have no clue how to verify, or what codes would be thrown, or even whether the vehicle would be functional if they were gutted, but it's a point I wanted to mention.

I am unsure of my original theory that the airbags deployed. I can say there are no lights or codes indicating a problem with the SRS. The SRS has a self-check system. I suppose I could speed into a tree and find out though.

I hope the ceremony (if your having one) goes well. People like to complain about marriage but I am happy I got married.

Congratulations! Just remember if you are working on or around batteries, to take the ring off and keep it safe until you are done. I watched my dad learn that the hard way. It's not something one forgets.

This looks like the closest thread to my issue so I thought I would post on here: My cruise control light comes on, but it won't set. This happened about six months ago, and when I stopped and started the vehicle, it worked again. It happened over the weekend again, and this time it isn't coming back. Vehicle Info: 2006 Liberty CRD, one owner vehicle in good condition 296,000 miles Reman Trans 266,000 miles Remain Tcase 289,000 miles GDE Tune Lift pump mod

Ok, so I finally have new development on this. I recently went to a new dealer to have the cruise control reset. The first didn’t have a working DRBIII tool and the second couldn’t find the reset option (they didn’t seem competent). The third dealer found the reset function but said the ECM would not accept a reset. They interpreted this as meaning the cruise control system was not functioning. Does this sound right? Where should I begin trouble shooting? I have confirmed there are wires connected to the switches. Is there a fuse I should check? Clock spring or something?

I was driving in to work today wishing I had cruise. What needs to be done when cruise is installed for the first time on a 2005 CRD? Maybe that is were I will find a solution.
