Bendix cruise control - pattypape - 01-13-2008 03:08 Ralph & Dick Yep, I believe most of the parts are behind the black steel box cover. I have looked at this earlier in my Bird ownership, at that time all these parts looked way too complicated for me. But I need to revisit this black box. I will eventually start with lubing the cable, Possibly hanging-up in the high idle mode. Then try to lube the solenoid valves. This will be at a latter date for me, But I will post results. Sometimes a Volt-Ohm meter can lead one astray. Thank Again to All.
