Can we do this? (aka The DIY Cruise Control Thread)

I'm definitely missing something. Where do the additional 2 wires from D3 go? I mean, with the switch method for models other than the 09, it seems like you don't need to use D3. But since I'm going to be using the stalk, I need to use D3.

The connector above is D3. If you use the switch method for 08, then you go straight from the ECM to the switches.

For the stalk method the wire from pin 40 of the ECM goes where the blue wire is above in D3. Where the brown wire is in D3, you will run a wire from that position to a ground point.

Here's those pics CTScott...hope they are good enough. If you need more I can take more tomorrow. I'm heading to work right now...

Sorry there's so many on this post, but I figured the more the better :) Let me know what you think. Like I said before, I feel pretty confident in my basic electrical abilities. I can solder to PCB's and all that fun stuff. I would rather not switch the switches around (since I just got them all done and looking good), but however I can get that light to light up I'll do it. Oh and also I have a 12V LED in there right now, only cause I had a bunch laying around. Let me know if I need a different voltage LED too. Thanks again.

And I hope all this stuff is helping other people want to do this mod. I've spent less than $10 so far. $500 or $10...no brainer

Definitely watching. I hate doing electrical work, so waiting on another dummy like me to attempt it. Or a nice DIY wrote up.

Great work so far guys.

Well I'm your dummy ryank!
And Thanks for scratching around CTScott. My car is all put back together for now, so I won't get a chance to work on it again till this weekend. In the meantime, lemme know what you think about the LED. Thanks a million!
