Rover 75 cruise control not operating the light on consol comes but instruments does not?

There are a few possible reasons why your Rover 75 cruise control is not operating even though the light on the console comes on.

1. Faulty cruise control switch: The cruise control switch may be faulty, preventing the system from engaging. Check the switch for any signs of damage or wear, and try pressing it multiple times to see if it makes any difference.

2. Faulty brake light switch: The brake light switch is responsible for disengaging the cruise control when you press the brake pedal. If the switch is faulty, the cruise control may not be able to detect that you are braking and will remain engaged, even when you press the brake pedal.

3. Faulty throttle position sensor: The throttle position sensor is responsible for monitoring the position of the accelerator pedal and sending the corresponding signals to the engine control unit (ECU). If the sensor is faulty, the ECU may not be able to receive accurate information about the accelerator pedal position and will not be able to engage the cruise control.

4. Faulty vacuum pump: The vacuum pump is responsible for generating the vacuum needed to operate the cruise control system. If the vacuum pump is faulty, it will not be able to generate enough vacuum and the cruise control will not be able to engage.

5. Faulty ECU: The ECU is responsible for controlling the overall operation of the cruise control system. If the ECU is faulty, it may not be able to receive and process signals from the various sensors and switches, or send the appropriate commands to the actuators, resulting in the cruise control not operating properly.

It is recommended to have your vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic to diagnose the exact cause of the issue and to perform any necessary repairs.
