cruise control

dreed7235 · 08-10-2009, 10:03 AM

bought a car this weekend with aftermarket steering wheel. All of the cruise control stuff is under the hood just nothing inside. Any ideas on where I would put the controls and what I could use? I just drove the car 9 hours and it was a pain in the ass.

The easiest solution might be to replace the aftermarket wheel with OEM. If it's from an Touring model it would likely come with the button controls. That way if the previous owner didn't cut the wires, it would be a simple plug and play.
Be aware that in addition to the steering wheel buttons, the on/off switch on the dash, and the actuator under the hood, there is also a cruise module located behind the driver's side kick panel.

i wired the factory buttons from the steering wheel under the steering column and wired it directly to the wires under the column, also solder a regular 194 light bulb to the original air bag wiring to eliminate your air bag light! call me if you need more help 9858560916
