Called the RAC who inspected and called a tow truck. Vehicle taken to Hyundai Myree. They reported all OK mid Saturday morning. Said they had found a "lose wire" bid me fare well with "I hope it keeps going".
Me too ...
Given two returns for cruise not working now this I am becoming suspicions of wiring in general. Anybody else with similar problems??

To be honest the general wiring build looks superb, with everything tightly bound and kept as close to the body as possible. Being fly-by-wire, the throttle is at the mercy of properly fastened con-blocks, so I hope they've tracked down and permanently fixed yours Jarrah

This break down occurred within easy range of help but if a similar problem develops 400km from any where I am going to need a wiring/workshop manual. Does anybody know if there is such an animal?

I think this question was asked a week or so ago and nobdy seems to have one yet - Would be nice to have one, wouldn't it.

Shambles seems to be good at finding things like that..... wonder if he can?

Brought the vehicle from Mandurah. Good sales service but the sales manager has now gone to the dealer a suburb closer to Perth. Am getting far better quotes on service charges.
I have been asked by Myree who fixed the problem to report the issue to Mandurah service. I shall do this next week and pursue them for more info on how to handle break downs of this sort. It is worth noting that even though the RAC correctly diagnosed the problem he did not know how to go about fixing.
You would have to assume that an auto repair business, even in major rural centres would not fare better unless they are a Hyundai accredited operation. Bit of a worry this ....

Hi J-B,
Would have been nice if they left off the "I hope it keeps going"
Doesn't exactly fill you with confidence.
Do you think when they fitted or fixed the Cruise control they might not have tightened or replaced "the wire" properly?
Rgds,
Dazz

They certainly did not do so first time round Dazz it went back a second time. A "dry joint" was blamed which in technical slang means a solder joint to which insufficient heat was applied to properly melt the solder.
It must be remembered though that the cruise was installed by a third party contractor at point of sale. I understand cruise is now standard?
I have been around in the technical area far too long to reject the idea that the two incidents are related. It opens a can of "wires" that can lead to all sorts of problems when unqulified people start getting their fingers into complex wiring systems like this.

if i can be of any more help on the matter please let me know
hope this helps

Is there any hints as to who may be affected ?
CRDi, but any particular build range or dates ?
Auto or manuals ?
Any numbers on the sensor to look for.
If I understand you right, it's the position sensor on the accelerator pedal inside the cabin ?
Thanks........

yep your right, and no not to sure its been such a small number i mean 3 that i know of not a major concern, in the big picture
Is this just an auto box issue?
