    Cruise control inoperative

    My Cruise control has never worked since I got the car. PO did put in an instrument cluster.

    What should I look for? Do I need to pull out the cluster?

    Check to see if two wires are connected to the green plug. One of those is the speed signal from the differential and the other feeds that signal to the OBC & cruise control.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      Yes. Remove cluster. Remove all six screws (four along bottom edge and two on "ears" at top) then tilt out from top first. May find it easiest to remove steering wheel first (but not necessary).
      Green plug is found on back of speedometer housing.



      Two wires jlevie? Mine has only one wire to green connector. It is for cruise control. Goes in any of the three similarly shaped sockets on the green plug.

        Yup, I have two wires as well. Does one of those wires have anything to do with the ABS light or did i not connect something?

          The speed signal wires have nothing to do with ABS.

            Here is a thread with my findings a while back. Hopefully this helps a little.
