Well done, CTScott! Great post.

Scott, you are a true asset to this forum. Thanks so much for putting this together!

Fantastic!!!!!!!!!

So even if my 07 lifty doesn't have those indicator lights, there's a chance I can still do this mod with the switches and some LEDs? And where did you get those little switches?

Just reading all the other threads and posts on this topic and answered my own question :) I can't wait to start ripping $hit apart!!

Just did this DIY on my 09 5 speed and it works great. I had to jump the clutch switch connector untill I get the switch, just dont step on the clutch while on cruise!!!
THANKS to all who helped figure this out

What will happen if you hit the clutch while in cruise (if you jump the clutch switch)?

nickhjort · 05-02-2009, 12:02 PM

I guess I should have read the other thread first :) You said it will over rev if you hit the clutch while jumping the switch in cruise control. Why would you need to use the clutch while in cruise anyway. If some $hit goes down you just have to hit the break to turn off the cruise then cluth after it turns off right? It's not gunna mess anything up mechanically just by jumping the clutch switch is what I'm getting at I guess.

Hello. I'm eager to try this out next week. I just have a couple of questions.

Question #1:

You stated in step 6: "Connect wires from switch assembly to wires on connector D3. Red wire from switches connects to blue wire of D3 Pin 1. Black wire from switches connects to brown wire of D3 Pin 3."

It's unclear whether or not I connect the switch assembly wires to the blue/brown wires themselves or to the connectors. The picture isn't clear because I'm not seeing the added black and red switch assembly wires. Is the picture under step 6 a before or after? It is exactly the same as the picture under step 3.

Question #2:

How do you remove the "push button start" cover? I tried playing with it to see if I could snap it off but I had no luck. It seems pretty firmly in place. I didn't want to force it too much for fear of breaking it off.

Question #3:

How easy is it to run the wire from that cover to the steering wheel assembly? Is there a direct path from the cover into the assembly?

thanks!

Picture 3 and 6 are actually the same "after picture". The red tap-splices are how I connected my red and black wires to the brown and blue wires.

Question #2:

You have to pull the black vertical trim along side of the AC controls / radio (just get your fingers under the edge and pull it out). Once that is removed the cover pulls right off.

Question #3:

How easy is it to run the wire from that cover to the steering wheel assembly? Is there a direct path from the cover into the assembly?

Very easy - When you come through the back of that hole you loop to the left and right up along the wiring harness for the steering column.

thanks!

TDB-1, to jump the switch connector, you simply put a wire from one terminal to the other (the switch plug only has 2 terminals right)? You didn't put a fuse or anything in there just in case?

TDB-1 · 05-02-2009, 02:34 PM

Correct, I actually used a small spade terminal and just pushed it into the connector. Just don't step on the clutch when using cruise!!!! I have not hit the clutch but think if you did it would rev the motor till the computer or rev limiter figures out what is happening.

Gotcha. Thanks again man! And of course thanks to all the smart people who know how to do this stuff and make it easier for us dumb people to DIY :) I'm going outside right now to set this push-button system up. I'll let you know how it goes.

Wow... this is really really cool. I'm pretty sure I don't have the LEDs on the dash, but I don't mind adding some in the same panel as the buttons.

Excellent job, Scott and Pavel!
