Retro Fitting Cruise Control Update
Posted: Wed Jun 30, 2004 1:41 pm
Well I have finally ordered the indicator stalk with the cruise control switches on it. The erwin manual is not much help here. Just says there are no parts to replace apart from the switch and it is manged by the fuel injection managment system. However, there is a wiring diagram available. Outch!
Fuse 20 is blank and labeled up for CC.
I know people have been talking about retro fitting CC and wonder if they would like to tell us (me) how it went. Does the light work on the dash. (1 O' clock from the right indicator light?)
Links from the net refere to removal of the dash to get to the wires. I assume this is to trace the new wire through the existing loom upto the ECU. I am also assuming that there are shortcut ways, as before i have always bypassed the fuse box placing fuses directly on the auxillary appliance from the battery live feed for amps, CB radios etc. I had a nasty insident playing with a fuse box on an older Polo once before. Blew up the fuel pump motor. Helps if you disconnect the earth strap.
Any tips hints etc. Please post them on.
Thanks
