  • When we were touring in the outback during the cold winter months, I had a similar experience in that we lost our Cruise Control. I had to stop & turn off the Engine and then restart the engine again and all would be good. I then did a few tests over the next few days with the settings and found that it did not play up when I had it on the max setting.
    When we got back it has never played up again.... When we go away next year to the outback again, I'll see whether the problem returns.....
    BTW: It was daytime and I don't remember if we had any issues with the dashlights....

    Went for a run down the coast yesterday, and No Cruise Control, no dash light even.

    Stopped, disconnected Windbooster, and Cruise Control Light comes back on....

    Checked all the connections, all good. Reconnected Windbooster..... No Cruise Control !!

    Anyone else had this issue, or do I have a faulty Windbooster..... Thanks

      • OK, apologies for asking again, having some issues with warranty.

        Could someone who has a Winbooster MKII actually installed on a 150, please confirm for me if Cruise Control still works with it installed.

        Mine doesn't and I am being told that is normal. I am also getting 'surging' and highway speed.

        Thanks.

          I had an issue when I installed my windbooster. Until the vehicle sees a full throttle signal my Prado 150 wouldnt shift into 5th gear or turn on cruise let alone being able to set cruise. Once the key was turned off then back on it would still need to see a full throttle signal. I returned mine and got a different brand. And the new one does the same. I'm thinking that later model 150 prados know when something is plugged into the accel pedal. Still waiting on further help with mine also.

          • Thanks for the response, The seller has ignored all contact and the only other seller on eBay, is now saying he no longer stocks them (I question why?). Mine is now unplugged. I believe there is an issue with Windboosters and the later 150's.

                • Yup, just got my New Wind Booster 8th Anniversary edition claiming to have fixed the Cruise and 5th gear not engaging issues.
                  Guess what....still the same, haven't fixed anything

                      I would be interested in swapping mine over. (Bought from you about 12 months ago) I have not heard from you, so possibly someone else. Please let me know what to do.

                        Hey mate was the cruise control problem evident as soon as you plugged it in or was it something that developed after having it for a while?

                          Hi Ryan,

                          Yes, As soon as you plug in the wind booster unit the cruise no longer turns on and does not engage 5th gear UNTIL you give the vehicle a full throttle signal, then it works like normal until you cycle the key again. so I think its a software issue with the windbooster, which was suppose to have been fixed in the latest model....and I was assured it had been fixed....but clearly not.

                          • Hi D l noticed you said you had tried 3 different windboosters do you still have the others or did you send them back. I wouldn't mind trying one to see if l have the same problems before shelling or $300 for 1 or maybe l could buy 1 of your other ones if l have no problems.
                            Cheers Ryan

                            • Hi Rdae,

                              no I sent them all back, I have now been in contact with 4wdsupplies.com.au and hopefully they are sorting out another new one for me? we will see.
                              I tried 2x wind booster 9 modes then I tried a Shadow EDrive which was also the same, now I have the 8th anniversary wind booster which is still no good. so just waiting on another New one to be sent which I have been assured again that this is fixed.
                              I have also contacted Wind Booster directly in China and they have been very helpful, Apart from the poor English.....
