I inherited my dad’s 1998 K1500 and have been working on restoring it. I rebuilt the 5.7L myself and had the 4L60E rebuilt. I’ve been frequently taking 10 hour road trips and I’m trying to get the cruise control working.
Troubleshooting to date:
- replaced the multifunction switch (wipers not working)
- tested the voltage at all the pin connectors at the cruise module, per the manual (and YouTube video). Everything checked out.
- opened the module and checked the condition of the gears. Everything looked good.
- bought a used module on eBay and tried it. No luck.
I’m about ready to resolder the board connections. However, the fact that the second module doesn’t work makes me think that’s not the problem.
Is there a way to check the signal coming to the cruise module from the ECM/transmission? I’ve read where someone put the rear up on stands and checked operation above the minimum speed. Don’t know if that’s a wise course of action and what form the signal would take.
Anything other suggestions?
