Bendix cruise control

[pattypape]

HELLO RALPH,


Thank you for posting these precious documents.
But, now I am more confused??????

Our Bendix cruise control works great. It is the high idle
on our FC that is intermittent, It occationally takes off
and really revs up the 3208, So it can not be trusted or used.

One of the troubleshooting tips in the manual is to check the
resistance of the potentiometer in the CC-5.
Well two of the readings show an open circuit and the third reading
is in tolerance.
Do you have any advice on where to check further??

Thanks again for all your posts.
