    Check that you didn't break the cruise cable. The end of it can be tricky for some to remove w/o breaking.

    Third brake lights still work, the cruise throttle line doesn't wanna stay on. It's not broken, its exactly how it was before i took it off. When i pull on the throttle it just falls right off. Am i doing something wrong? I'm pushing it on there but maybe not hard enough?

    Are you talking about the end of the cable to the post or the cable isn't holding in the bracket?

    The cable is holding to the bracket fine, its the end of the cable that doesn't seem to want to clip into place. I can push it on there but when i pull on the throttle it just falls right off. I might not be clipping it on correctly or pushing hard enough. Nothing looks wrong with the end of the cable either.

    Sounds like the end broke. Grab yourself another cable from the JY and you should be all set.

    I'm pretty sure its not broken. Sometimes ill get it on there nice and snug so when i pull the throttle it stays fine no matter how hard i pull it..Then i start the car up, drive and then when I'm done driving i open the hood up and realize it fell off..again.

    Are you pushing it on or sliding it on? It slides onto that small post on the TB bracket. When taking it off you need to push it towards the intake and vice versa when putting it on.
