Re: Cruise control
I did the install of a CC kit on my 03 TJ that I got from that guy
on ebay (genuine MOPAR) & I had no problem with the air bag.
No big deal just follow the instructions, have a service manual
& make sure you understand the color codes on the wiring. This
were the factory service manual comes in handy cause the instructions
that come with the unit are a little hazy in some areas. Plus the
FSM is what you want to follow when it comes to the air bag.
