cruise control
Hi, I was wondering if anyone on here would know what the rating is for the red capactior in the cruise control brain. I am trying to see if I can get it working. Thanks in advance.

Offhand I'm not sure - I took a brief look over the wiring diagrams and I'm not seeing any info related to that in there. Do you have an early '85? I have an early cruise brain that I don't need. It was working when the car was totaled...if you're interested let me know what seems like a fair price to you.

The car is an early 85 although I was hoping to fix it since it is only one capacitor that is bad than buy another one. The cruise control isn't that important to me but I would like to get it working.

Seems odd now that you have written about the cruise control. I don't remember ever using it on the Porsche. I don't know if mine works or not. I'll have to try it if I think about it.

Most of the components on the cruise control board have markings that represent the "spec" of that component. Lots of internet companies sell similar components. Try NEWARK. I purchase most of the components; but haven't yet begun the replacing.

If others aren't interested, I might be. I am collecting parts to retrofit cruise into my 924S. I don't yet have the "brain" so I could use it.
Don't have much cash (5 kids in college/grad school).

I had replaced the electrolytics (blue ones) but it didn't fix it. Re-soldering the board and fixing a bad ground on the back of the instrument cluster did fix it. Still working after 4 years,,,
