[ THIS MANUAL, YOUR KIT AND YOu-~

This Cruise Control Kit is a microprocessor based Cruise Control. It is designed for ease of installation and can be used with most cars, light trucks and vans. Carefully follow the installation procedures in this manual for best results.

DO NOT INSTALL THIS SYSTEM ON A DIESEL POWERED VEmCLE WmCH

HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION WITHOUT A DISENGAGEMENT

SWITCH (250-4206) ON THE CLUTCH PEDAL ASSEMBLY

Your vehicle must have a VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) wire or an available signal generator for installation of this Cruise Control. Please consult vendor's Application Guide. Low displacement engines with limited vacuum will get better performance if a vacuum reservoir is installed. Vacuum reservoirs, pumps, regulators and other accessories are available from your dealer, automotive service center or most automotive parts outlets.

All through the instructions there are W ARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES that are meant to make it easier for you to put the Cruise Control on your vehicle and safer to use. We have gathered these tips from people across the country who have told us about their problems and

how they worked them out. Even with all these reports from the field, we cannot cover every condition which you might encounter, there are just too many different vehicle makes and models.

We do our best to tell you how to handle most vehicles, but we must Denend On Your Good Judgment for dealing with the rest.

Therefore, we believe you can understand why we strongly urge you to think carefully about what could happen to you, your passengers and your vehicle if you use any tools, parts, fastening

methods, routing or procedures which are not described in this manual.

There is NO drain on the battery if the control switch is left on. The Cruise Control needs no regular service.

1. Before Starting Installation: Familiarize yourself with the Installation Instructions and Cruise Control's components.

A. If vehicle is equipped with an ANTI- rnEFf RADIO. the radio c<xie must be written down prior to

disconnecting battery cable. The c<xie must be re-entered wbtJI the negative battery cable is reinstalled.

B. If vehicle is equipped with an AIR BAG. it is advisable to disconnect negative battery cable. However.

remember that some vehicles retain power to the air bag sysm when battery is diSCOOlleCted.

3. Removal of Negative Battery Cable: Remove the negative battery cable before

installing the Cruise Control C(XDponents as a safety precaution. (FilUre A)

The Actuator Assembly must be programmed for the vehicle on which it is installed. The TEN (10) programming switches must be set according to the chart below in order

for the Cruise Control to operate properly. NOTE I: Both the Gray (VSS) and the Blue (TACH) wires

must be connected. (If vehicle VSS wire is not used. an auxiliary road speed source must be used.) See Form 12482

Yehicle Technical Information Guide (supplied in kit) for

VSS and T ACH wire information.

NOTE 2: Ifosing an "OPEN CIRCUIT" control switch

with the Cruise Control, SwrrCH NUMBER 7 will have to be OFF. On "OPEN CIRCUIT' switch, the ..ACCEL "

slide switch will be pushed toward passenger window.

If unsure whether control switch is "OPEN CIRCUIT' or "CLOSED CIRCUIT', look at control switch box label.

This section will cover the proper ways to use the hardware available. Each section contains sample illustrations showing how the coMector is used in an actual installation. It must be noted however, that you should have an understanding of howeach attachment method works so that a proper installation is achieved. There are six (6) different types of throttle connections.

cause the Scad ChalD or the Cable Assembly to hang

i. the Bead ChaiD Connector causing the throttle to be held iD a partially OpeD position. This coDditioD

cCMIld occur wheD the Cruise Control is nOt being used.

A. Pu1lev Assemhlv Usinp the LOOP CABLE

I. On some vehicles it may be necessary to remove

the air cleaner so the throttle pulley segment is showing.

2. Set the pulley segment in an OPEN throttle JX)$ition. and remove the throttle cable from the

pulley.

3. Hold the Loop Cable between the holes in each side of the pulley. Slide the barrel at the end of the throttle cable through the slotted hole, then

through the Loop Cable and into the second hole. (Figure 8)

..Connect the Loop Cable to the Cable Assembly

using the Bead Chai. Connector .

NOTE: Use the Bead Chain Cover.

S. To 5«"Ure the Loop Cable to the throttle cable,

punch a small hole in the Bead Chain Cover and slide the ." Tie Strap through the hole and

2. Attach the Bead Chain to the Two Bead Connector. Secure beads by folding down

the metal tabs. The following parts will be used when installed properly: Two Bead Connector, Bead Chain, Bead Chain Connector, and Bead Chain Connector Cover. (Figure 16)

3. Remove clip or pin which retains throttle cable (and washer ifprovided) and install Two Bead Connector on the same side of throttle cable as

the Cable Assembly will be anchored. This is necessary so that Cable Assembly and throttle

cable will not cross.

4. The Two Bead may need to be bent so that. it clears the throttle cable. (Figure 17) Also, the 4" Tie Strap can be used to hold the Two Bead Connector to the sleeve of the throttle cable. (Figurel7)

2. Straighten the Harness Assembly and find the 4 pin mating connectors. Separate the 4 pin connectors. A small screw driver may be needed.

3. Hamess Assembly needs a 314" hole to pass through bulkhead. You may find one nearby

such as the speedometer cable hole or a small

one you can file larger. If you find the right

size hole in the right place, remove rubber

grommet. If not, drill, saw, or punch a 314"

hole in bulkhead. A hole a couple of inches to the left or slightly higher than the steering column is usually a good place. (Figure 37)

NOTE: Check inside before drilling, sawing or filing so you don't damage anything.

4. From engine side, pass four pin connector and VIOLET wire through hole. If you did not hook up the BLUE T ACH wire and

GRA y VSS wire under the hood, pass them

through to the inside also.
