Rep Power: 223

So I got an small *** steering wheel when I removed my airbags and now I don't have cruise control. It's gay let me tell you. So I thought I might reach out to the CF community to see if anyone else has ghetto rigged a cruise control system.

Any ideas?

This is what I'm working with

well as you know from taking off your steering wheel, the wires for your cruise control were behind the airbag assembly. I would suggest taking that wire (the one that plugged into the cruise control buttons) and feed back down into the fuse box area. Drill a hole (small small hole) into your dash under the steering wheel (maybe to the right so you can see it) and than disasseble your old steering wheel, find a way to mount the cruise control buttons to your dash and just plug in the preexisting wire (which you fed through your dash into the cruise control buttons. If you kept it decently out of sight but in an accessable area... it could work. either way i think this is a great way to do it, you could mount it anywhere really.

I'm going to be dealing with the same issue eventually...I was hoping that it'll be as simple as rewiring three momentary-on switches to a location of my choice. I was even figuring I could rig them to the new wheel by fabricating an aluminum flange with three holes for switches. Pretty much like the stock setup with three little red radio shack buttons instead.

I haven't really gotten too deep into this yet since the steering wheel swap isn't going to be for a little while. Interested to see what you come up with!

I looked around at some local hobby and electronic shops around Gainesville and they have spring loaded switches, almost like the factory with little round heads on them. You press the button and it activates the circuit but, it springs back into place. So I can wire one as the signal activation/accel wire, the second as the deccel/deactivation wire
