cruise control
hi the car has been welded now but he took off the cruise control cable off its the that goes from the gear shifter part that goes in somewere in the driver side i don't know where it goes at all
Re: cruise control
Gonna need a better description or pics, complete sentences help too. Is this cable on the interior? As in coming from the gear selector and over to driver side under the dash?
That would be the shifter lock, to keep the car from being shifted when the key is not on.

Re: cruise control
Probably one goes to throttle body .... there another that goes to a vac plunger up in the front corner, usually driv side.

Re: cruise control
Shifter lock out. The piece in the picture houses it. You will have to drop the column and remove the dimmer and ignition switch it is mounted to. Mark the position of the screws you remove with a sharpie to make the adjustment easier in reassembly.

Re: cruise control
what does that mean do i have to take the dash out as well where is the dimmer and ignition switch then the cable should connect is the shifter lock anything to do with cruise control if so its never worked before
Re: cruise control
Totally unrelated to the cruise. The dimmer is below the circled part, the ignition switch is above it in the pic. It mounts to the ignition switch, but the dimmer is mounted on top of it. You just need to remove the two 13mm nuts that secure the column mounting bracket to drop the column.
That is, assuming from your pics the hush panel and trim under the column is already removed.

Going to use my powers of intuition to say your next threads will be "need shifter lockout housing" and "how to adjust dimmer and ignition switch"
