i have a 89 305 tbi auto. cruise hasnt worked AT ALL since i had it.

i read the tech article but it was a tpi car. i looked under the dash for anything resembling the connector this guy had pictured. i found something similar, only this has a 2-prong connector. the wires did run in the cruise switch's general direction.

i unhooked this, and ohmed it out (the same way the guy did on his tpi). i got infinate resistance. so...

1... was this even the right connector?
2... if so, does this mean the switch is bad?

thanks ahead of time...

 

There are two connectors under the dash for the cruise control. One is for the multifunction lever on the steering column. The second one has about four to six wires to it and hangs just below the steering column and runs through the bulkhead to the cruise control unit under the hood.

 

so was i testing the switch when i did this?

 

What color were the wires on each connector? You might have been looking at the wires for the VATS system on the lock cylinder.

 

the wires coming from the the front of the car were:

pink w/ black stripe
grey w/ black stripe
grey
blue

those go into the female connector. the male connector has 2 prongs, and the wires are wrapped together in black.

does that make any sense???

if it were VATS related, my starter wouldnt engage with that unhooked, right?

 

You are correct, if it was the VATS connector the car wouldn't start. BTW, you have e-mail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

then i dont think its the VATS. because i did start the car with it unhooked... i wish i could find my haynes manual. i think my bro stole it. BTW Trickster, you have a PM!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

there is a cruise control module tucked up in the right side of the dash, thats probably what is wrong with your system

 

right of the column or in the passenger side dash??? sry for the misunderstanding.

 

The module he is referring to is mounted under the dash on the passenger side to the left of the ECM as you sit in the seat. BTW, this is the same modue that I have referred to. Another BTW, did you get the E-mail I sent to that second address?

 

sry trickster but i havent got it... i dont know what the deal is...im sure its sumthing with my account. is there anywhere online, that has these schematics posted???

 

Do you have an address other than the hotmail ones? Some one else that I sent some stuff to is also having a problem with hotmail.

 

you've got pm!

 

You've got e-mail!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

awesome!!! i got it this time! im gonna go through all of it this afternoon... thanks trickster.
