DR Dome, that is probably the source of your problem. IN short what happens is when you push a button on the steering wheel, it generates a voltage relative to the button that is depressed. This specific voltage is related to the desired action by the computer. If this voltage is not right, the computer will either try to perform a different action or will not be sure what action is requested and not do anything.

Dr Dome, well, looking at the diagrams, for your situation, there can only be 1 problem to cause what you are seeing unless it is merely coincidence. The "SET" button on the new steering wheel is toast. With that being said, you should be able to pull the buttons off of the old steering wheel and transfer them in to the new steering wheel and be golden.
What I was suspecting could be the cause is not the case. All the resistors are the same between the two steering wheels and if your other controls are working (ie, ON, RESUME, etc), then the resistor network in question has to be good. So, you have a fix, question is whether you want to get into the steering wheel again to do the work necessary to fix the problem.

I replaced the steering wheel on my X-type. My original steering wheel didnt have an on-off button, but the new one has. The cruise control buttons didnt work right on the new wheel. The on-off button worked more or less ok, but the cruise control didnt lock in. Only button that worked was the "resume" button, but it gave a "cruise cancled" message instead. I just took the old buttons from the old steering wheel and attached it to the new wheel and problem solved. The car just didnt know what to do with the extra on-off button
Might help someone who is battling the same problem.

Hi Jag friends. I would like advice please before I take it to a independent specialist locally. The X type 2002 2.0 Cruise control selects on and off on the steering wheel switch via the Digital message in the speedo gauge, but even after selecting set + or _ 30mph it will not hold the revs and the speed drops off. Is this a steering button issue or will I need a new Cruise control ECU and cable assembly or is it a Fuse issue.? I have a 680 return trip in September to Scotland and would like it to work.
Could this be also a need to replace the switch buttons on the steering wheel?
