• Q: How to Service and Repair a Cruise Control Servo on 2001 Dodge Dakota?

  A: Before touching anything inside, first take out the negative battery cable from the battery. After that, detach the hose from the vacuum pump end of the servo and then remove the electrical connector at the servo end. At the throttle body, cut the cable to stop it from sending power to the servo and loosen the two bolts that join the servo cable sleeve and bracket. Pull the speed control sleeve and servo away from the bracket to show the clip and pull the clip off. Be careful to remember the direction the servo is pointing as you take it off the bracket. Installation requires lining up the hole in the cable connector with the hole in the servo pin, putting the servo in position on the mounting bracket and then securing them with the cable-to-servo retaining clip. Place the servo studs through the mounting bracket openings as shown on the design and fasten them, with each bolt tightened to 8.5 Nm (75 in. lbs.). Link the vacuum line to the servo's electrical connector and then link the servo cable to the throttle body. Curly, connect the negative battery cable to the battery and on starting the engine, check if the accelerator pedal works without any tightness.
