A Question About Cruise Control

[futuredenied]

CTScott, I have a kit on the way and I really want to put the indicator in the cluster. How hard was it, any chance on a crash course, or pic tutorial to match your awesome diy write up?? Thanks in advance.

It is actually not that bad on a liftback cluster, since the circuit board ends before the clock area. With a sedan it is more difficult, since the circuit board covers from end to end, so for a sedan I suggest mounting it elsewhere (like on the dash to the right of the ignition switch).

For the liftback:

1. Remove the cluster (pull the trim straight back, disconnect the two connectors, and remove the two mounting screws at the bottom).

2. Release the front cover by gently squeezing the tabs and then pushing them through the white plastic.

3. Drill a 1/4" hole from the front side as far to the left as possible.

4. Push the plastic LED lens into the hole from the front side.

5. Insert the LED into the rear of the lens until it clicks into place.

I'm doing the DIY install as well. I just called my local Toyota dealer (Ontario Canada) about the ECM repair terminal #82998-24250. The guy said it's $31. That doesn't fit into my under $10 budget. Do I have the right number?

Thanks

That is the correct part number. The dealerships really like to gouge on the repair terminals. I sell them for $5 each (Shipping to Canada would only add $1.50), which is how people doing the switch DIY method could do so for less than $10.

CTScott is the man!!!!! Works perfect!!!!! Thank you so much. I'd like to mention that I did screw up the d3 1 and 2 wires by putting the short black one on the d3 1 pin... I should have read further in the install pdf and I would have figured out the brown wire goes to the brown wire, also my ecu release broke when I pryed on it... I shoved a screw driver in the middle between the black and white and it finally gave way... other than what I did wrong the kit is perfect! Thanks again!
