    cruise control

    i put the switch in the dash plug and im swaping in the entire steering column from my wrecked car so that i dont have a key for the doors (what was on my red car were very hard to turn the key) and a key for the ignition. so i will also have the steering wheel buttons.....is there anything else like relays(lol stupid locks) or anything at all to make the cruse control work?....i have the lx motor, ecu, wiring harnes....

    thanx

          cruise control speed sensor - i'd like a pic of this little bastard.

          its going to be hard to snap a pic of it but i will try

          -------------------------------------------------------------------
          cruise control brake light switch brake pedal sensor - how is this switch different from the DX/LX brake light switch?

          its different due to the fact that another wire/plug plugs into the switch itself right along with the normal brake light wire/plug , then the wires run to the cruise computer.


          --------------------------------------------------------------------
          cruise control clutch switch - how is this switch different from the DX/LX brake light switch?

          it has only one wire/plug going into it, and also runs to the computer. both switches serve to cut off the cruise controll or to stop it in case of emergancy

                  no theres more to it than that theres the computer plus a drum if you will in the engine bay that connects to the throtle cable

                  plus a computer and switches

                  ive never done the swap before, i know it can be done but i dont know if the wires are there on models without cruise in the first place.you may need to do some wiring and usally always steer clear of that mess.

                  ive never done it before but with the search button, my manual beside me plus my growing knoledge of the protege, i can pretty much tell you anything you need to know

                    tou are a genious, and i appreciate you allowing me to pick your brain. I have decide that it will just be WAY too much work to add cruse to my car so ill just swap the steering columns so i only need 1 key and be happy :D
                    thanx dude

                        the brake switch should be larger than the normal one, it also should have two spots to plug connectors in.

                        the clutch should just have one

                        redfox: its no problem ask anything anytime glad to help

                            I had a 91 LX swapped the cruise comp. into my 90 LX,
                            I have swapped the:
                            Speed sensor (cluster)
                            Brake switch
                            Steering colum
                            Accelerator Pedal
                            Added:
                            Cruise Servo
                            main cruise switch
                            Computer that was located on the passenger side kick panel also said mitsubishi on it.
                            and i still cannot get the cruise to work
                            the light on the main cruise switch works but nothing happens
                            any one have any ideas?
