Another Fix for Cruise Control Recall
Another Fix for Cruise Control Recall
I came up with this a couple of months ago and decided to draw it up today and pass it along. I'm going to do this on my truck. With the addition of a standard 12V relay you can make it so that you will never have to worry about your cruise control switch catching fire. This is a safe solution even if you don't want to install the new switch or just an additional guarantee if you do install the new switch.
This re-wire makes it to where the cruise control switch switches only a ground signal and that ground in turn triggers a relay that switches the orginal +12V wires that orginally went to the switch which is safely away from any brake fluid or corrosion. A standard relay cost about $2 and a harness for about $2 at any electrics supply or around $5 each at a retail store. I used to buy them in bulk for $1 each but that was several years ago.
