Need Some Cruise Control Help
I've got a thread running on the C4 General board - Cruise Control - trying to get help on sorting out why mine doesn't work.
Please take a look and give me any feedback on how to solve this. I don't want to duplicate it on this board.
Thanks,
Jake

Those photos were taken by the previous owner when he was advertising the car for sale. I noticed it right off too and they were swapped before I took delivery.
BTW, the idiot tire changer damaged the two LTP sensors in the process, which the seller now has to replace at no cost to me.

During my engine rebuild (new head gaskets, water pump, etc) I found a vacuum hose by the distro that had a tiny hole in it. Replaced it and I got the cruise to work again.......now if I could just get it to hold speed. It drops about 1 mph every 10 seconds. Any ideas??

I feel your pain
Mine doesn't work either. I found the vacuum line going to manifold was not connected, one of the T fitting melted. Somewhere behind the distibutor, so I have to dig in there and find the connection so I can fix it. Hopefully that will fix my problem.
For the dropping speed. I would check you vacuum lines, maybe there is another slow leave and you are not keeping enough vacuum to maintain speed?

No cruise control
I found this plastic Vac. valve on drivers side near distributor had deteriated it is a vac valve that gets it vac near the fuel regulator the valve cost $7 dollars at the dealer and now my cruise works great.
