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

OK so I get the dumbshit award of the century here. I was replacing my headlight stalk and at the same time checking the wire from the clockspring, and I swung my arm and accidentally hit the clockspring, and the wire BROKE. So now I have no horn/airbag until a new one comes in (which is $450 CAD). I am so pissed at myself you have no idea lol

Lesson: DO NOT HIT THE CLOCKSPRING OR THE WIRE WILL BREAK!! :(

The internal ribbon cable ripped out of the connection on the side ... I tried to see if it could be put back by taking the clockspring apart, but, stupid toyota glued the cable as well as had a clamp. If it was just clamped, it would have been fine.

The one good result, the turn signal is a lot quieter LOL
