Why are you pissing around with pins and looms? Cruise on a 2.2/2.6/3.2 is a software setting

The extra plug on the stalk goes to the spare plug on left of column, clutch switch is a push fit with a locking collar and plug the plug in, then a little chat with Tech 2 to make it work :y

i did look at the how too and it says you need to put a feed to pin 21 of the ecu even if you bridge the connections at the pedals

thanks al but thats for non butchered cars autos dont need the ecu to know when the clutch is engaged or disengaged but a manual ecu does and here in lies my problem the auto loom doesnt have the required wire to feed the ecu the correct information regarding the clutch so even if i follow the guide you used the ecu still wont activate the cruise control . it was thanks to marksdtm and TB that i found this out hence why i need a new pin to fit into the empty hole in the ecu plug once thats done then it will be the same as the guide

You could therefore fit an auto ecu and ignore the clutch switch altogether :-\

but would that not involve reprogramming the key immobilizer ect and then you have the problem of the ecu not being able to talk to the gearbox ecu ?

Lack of autobox pops a message on the MID, only need the chip and transponder ring for the auto ecu :y

Alarm and remote unaffected :y

If the clutch switch works the same circuit as the brake, can you not just fit the clutch switch and wire it up in parallel to the brake switch ?

I cannot recommend installing cruise without the clutch switch, doing so would be a bit brain dead.

So you need to Tech2 the ECU to manual, and install the wiring and fit the clutch switch.

If you get hold of a 2nd hand connector you might find you can extract a pin with a length of wire attached and then insert it into yours, assuming the unused holes in the connector receptacle are there and haven't been plugged with something.

Ive got some tools somewhere for removing and installing pins for RS232 type connecters and Im also scrapping a Mig at the moment, will have a look and see if I can get some pins out from the loom this weekend if I get time.
