Relocating Cruise Control

[Thanks Cyberbug! -Mike]

So after replacing the steering wheel the only thing I missed and really needed was Cruise Control. Long drives can be a pain with out it literally.

I have been thinking about doing this for a while. Problem was figuring out the wiring and location.

I finally decided there is no good place to relocate it without major fabrication and taking the circuit board out. So I decided to keep the steering module as is and just put it in the center console, like one of those Bond cars. All I need to do is engage it, don't have to play with it. It will be easily reachable there.

Figuring out the wiring was the trick. There are four wires, two for illumination and two for cruise controls. All the function (4 of them) work off of one circuit. The PCM recognizes the current from each and there are different resistors on each.

Any way, with the help of the wiring diagram and PCM I was able to figure it out, at least on paper.

So far I have been able to test that the illumination works as it should and the cruise like comes on indicating its on. Actual cruise is to be tested.





















here is the wiring

Function = control side = PCM side behind clock spring (see picture)
cruise +ve = green = Pink/Blue
cruise -ve = blue = Yellow/Blue
illu +ve = red= Red/Blue
illu -ve = black= Grey/Red
