Momo Race Lightweight Steering Wheel
Here you will find the tools and items necessary to make a cruise control and horn sub-harness. I want the BAG to be the ONLY option deleted.
The 2 harnesses you see above are the harness going into the clockspring, and coming out of it. Simply put, your cruise controls and horn are wired through your clockspring. I have eliminated the clockspring, so I needed to make this to run the horn and cruise controls to another location.
Cut (or cap off) the yellow and white wires. These are the airbag wires and are no longer needed. Splice the brown, blue, and green wires together with their mate color on the other small harness end. I opted to add 5 feet of wire in between, to make the completed harness about 6 feet long. This will allow me to mount the controls just about anywhere!
This is what my finished harness looks like!
Push-button horn switch. Mounted on switch dead panel. Going to be mounted where the red and white wires are sticking out of my dash in the above pics of the wheel.
Here is a modified cruise control button.
Due to the fact that there is a circuit board in the unit, it can not be changed to just singular push buttons. So I took off the bulky buttons, and cut back the housing so that just the rubbery buttons were accessible.
So this is what the final custom trim piece looks like. Took about 14 hours of work! Messed up the first one.
This is what it looked like BEFORE the trim piece is attached:
Here it is, trim attached to the column cover.
Here are a couple of shots after the wheel is back on. The horn button can be seen just beyond the wheel.. (hint: the red button! lol) I wanted black, but couldn’t find any in that shape and size.
And last but not least, we have cruise controls. They aren’t permanently mounted, but the extremely ODD shape of the switch actually helped hold it where it is! lol
So, after relocating the cruise controls to the floor, I was happy to not have lost them. BUT, I wasn’t very happy with the appearance of them right by the door! I knew it was temporary because there was NO WAY I was gonna deal with that uncleanliness!! SO, in the background, I have been working on a lil project.
And so, without further ado, I bring to you Retractable Ashtray Mounted Cruise Controls!
