Hi guys,
If I change my steering wheel to an aftermarket one is it possible to still use my cruise control?? If so how do I re-wire the buttons??

Thanks

 

I doubt you can.

Give some more details on the aftermarket wheel and hub you have.

 

I haven't purchased them yet as i don't want to waste my money if it's not going to work, just thought someone may of done it before and knew how to make it work.

 

The cruise control switch does not have to be on the steering wheel to work.

You can take the switch out of the old wheel, install it wherever is convenient for you and make a wire harness from there that will reach the connector plug on the steering column.

There's only 3 wires so it shouldn't be a problem. Finding a place to put the switch that wouldn't be in the way but allow it to be functional, well that would be a problem. Maybe in the center console sideways and next to the parking brake handle.

 

Please report back if you're successful OP.

 

There are also gxe's out there with the cruise control button on the dash to the left of the steering wheel. Maybe you could find one in a local scrapyard?

 

Cheers guys, This is something I am going to look into and if i'm successful in it ill report back and let you know how it works and what I done.

 

That's the switch to toggle the control unit. The steering wheel switch controls the operation of the system.

OP: You'll need to tap the wires that lead to the ring terminal, and route them accordingly to the switch. Ain't that hard, but the switch connector wires probably won't be noted in the FSM. It's kind of like the Bose amps, it will only show the chassis wiring colors until it hits certain connectors. Hard to explain, but I'll bet that's the case with that switch. So basically it will tell you which wires lead to the ring terminal, but it won't tell you the switch connector color it goes to, but it will show the pin locations. Sounds more complicated than it is, but once you know the pin locations you've got all the info you need.

 

Good to know hectic. I've seen the steering wheels with the cc button on it but my 92 doesn't have it. It only has the cc button on the dash to the left of the wheel.

 

So how do you then activate the CC? The CC button on the dash is the "master" button, which has to be ON but you then also need the "set" and "cancel" buttons (and whatever the third one is, "resume" IIRC).

So when you push the CC button to the left of the wheel how do you then actually engage your CC?
