DIY: install factory cruise control in a non cruise equiped car, everything u need to know! lots of pics Options

[msk59]

Hey thanks, I will try to do that but I am facing a difficult task. For the 1996, I had the fog light wiring so it was plug and play. But the Cruise control I am afraid you are correct. Anyway I will keep trying to get all the parts. If not i can always install the aftermarket CC.

[Ryouxrs]

Ok. I have a 94 so it didn't have any of the fog light wiring either. Keep me posted on your install and I'll help anyway I can.

[njccmd2002]

please see under the glove box, if you have the plug for the cruise control computer. i have some free days coming up, and need to know if you need this pigtail as well...

[msk59]

Thanks Ryouxrs as always I will keep you posted.

njccmd2002: I am out of town and heading home today. I will check it tonight to see if there are any wiring there. I would also need the ECU for CC.

thank You both for all the help.

The pigtail njccmd2002 is talking about should be behind the bolster on the right hand side of the glove box as you face it. It is a very large green connector. You can see an example of it on page one of this thread.

OK I just looked through behind the glove box and I do not see the green pigtail that is on page one of this thread. So I would need that. The only thing behind the glove box is an unused white connector with one side closed and has 6 red with blue stripe thin wires running to it and to the other half, it has 3 black w/ white stipe and two black (total 5) running to the back side of it. this is coming from the main wiring harness. The front of it is closed with while covers.

On the passenger side kick panel, I do not see that large green connector. All I see is this

best pic to have from my archive.



circled is the ecu, and what he is talkin about, the pigtail is big..

[msk59]

OK this picture will help. I don't think I have this pigtail. Is this part of the main wiring? I will reopen the box and examine again. I have to disconnect the battery so I can disconnect the airbag to remove the glove box completely.

Thank you for your help.

[njccmd2002]

its part of the main dash wires.

[Ryouxrs]

Looks like all the pictures you've taken are of the wron location msk, the wires should be to the right of your first picture, and above and slightly rearward and left of your last picture. Njccmd2002's picture show where the cc ecu is in relationship to were your other pictures are. And sorry for the misunderstanding. It is a green connector that is larger in visual reference than all the other connectors that are close by in that area. I forget off of the tip of my head but it close to a 20 pin connector or so.

[msk59]

Yes, After seeing the picture njccmd2002 psoted, I realized that I took the pictures of wrong location. I was using my cell phone and was not able to see with glove box hanging there. Once I fully disconnect the glovebox I should be able to peek in there and take some more pictures tonight. I will then know whether I have that green harness/pigtail or not.

thanks again for all your help.

[msk59]

OK checked everything on the right hand side. It is pretty cramped in there. I do not see the wire with the green connector. So I do not have that pig tail. I have an empty spot where the CCECU can go but that is it.

[njccmd2002]

quick question, if the clutch sensor is only used for the cruise, then why we have to depress the clutch to start the car....

[enderswift]

there are two switches for the clutch pedal. One senses when the clutch is depressed ( a normally open switch) the other senses when the clutch is in its normal position (a normally closed switch)

[njccmd2002]

Hmmm.. Ill go back and see tomorrow....

[msk59]

OK waiting on the parts and wiring pigtail from a member (thank You njccmd2002) and will take a day off to work on the wiring install. Will report back on what I did and what happens. Lots of parts to install.

[njccmd2002]

Anyone have an idea what this means....



Cant find the explanation. Is it a switch or junction?

[msk59]

check the electrical manual and on page 9 it shows something similar called junction connector. there are no other symbol I found. I have a electrical manual for 1996

[njccmd2002]

i figured it out, its only for automatic, and it does not concern manual, its the park switch, normally closed.

[Ryouxrs]

Sorry I havnt been replying guys! I'll be around now to respond so if you have any questions on your install msk59 let me know. This was a pretty in depth task to tackle.
