v6 cruise control loom help by offyoutoddle



offyoutoddle
Hi, my v6 doesn't seem to have the cruise control loom, as there are no plugs under the dash. Does anyone know where i could get the 2 plugs that go into the cruise control ecu and interface at all please? I have pretty much everything else, and I'd like to see if retrofitting is possible wiring it in manually?

thanks in advance for any help you can offer

You also need the plug that goes onto the pump under the bonnet, and its a pain running those wires back to the rest of the system. I seem to remember there also being a wire that had to be added from the engine harness to body harness connector, and maybe even from the abs unit. I do remember it being a lot more wiring than I wanted to do.

Edit: I can confirm its possible having done it myself, but it isn't for the faint hearted.

cheerd Duncan - well the good news is my vaccuum pump has a plug and some wire on it, so all i need is the 2 plugs that connect up the ecu and its interface box. I don't know about the other stuff, i've heard talk of a wire that needs to go into a slot on the bcu. I was mainly just hoping someone here might have the 2 plugs i need anywhere

OK, good. Can't see any connection to the BCU (Body Control Unit) on the circuit diagrams. There is one from the ABS (Antilock Braking System) E.C.U , but its already connected to the engine E.C.U. so you might be able to find the header and connect there. There is also one from the engine E.C.U. and that was partly missing on my car.
