No.............Its up under the dash mounted on a bracket at the top of the brake pedal.

I'm retro fitting the cruise control system to my 1998 mv6, I know that all the plugs are under the bonnet for the system but is the stalk just one for one, plug and play.

Also does the brake pedal switch also just plug in or do I have to remove anything else from the donar car to make it work

[size=16]Ok, I've found the pedal switch and it has four wires coming from it, is this the correct one to use with the cruise control system or do I have to fit another one[/size]

Jim if the switch has 2 pins but 4 wires then you need to change the brake switch to a 4 pin  switch. if the switch is 4 pins then you are good to go as they say.

Jim you need to push the "keeper" in to allow the switch to be removed, but do not play with the switch when out as the plunger  will have a working position as such. if you have any problems  with the switch pm me as i have a spare [new] up for grabs.

Regards, Gary.
