Re: Littl help on after-market cruise control
Now THAT helps one heck of a lot - thanks. Since he got himself into
a bind (long trip, waited until the last minute to do the work) I get
to "rescue" him tomorrow afternoon. Now that I have the wire color, I
can fight the access problem. That @#$% coil is down on the side of
the block under the a/c and it is one flaming bitch to reach so maybe
I can tag the wire a little further up in the loom. I miss the days
when I could crawl into the engine bay to work and everything was in
plain sight!
