DIY - 2009 Cruise Control for $10, without pulling the steering wheel and airbag

[mjmuck]

I followed the instructions with the 4 switch method (minus installing the clutch switch) and even got a connector for the ecm to make sure it connects. I am still not getting this to work. I connected the ground to the metal bar underneath the steering wheel. I believe I made a good jump on the clutch connecter.

What problems have people had with this and the solutions? Maybe I'm just missing something silly. I'm trying to drive from KC to Chicago in a week and would really prefer this to work.

The biggest problems are typically bad connections or the ECM pin not being fully inserted. If you have a multimeter, with the ignition in the on position, measure the voltage at your switches where the ECM wire connects. It should read 12 V and then if you press and hold the on/off switch it should drop to 0 V.
