'97 GTP, the cruise hasn't worked since I got the car, so I think it's about time for things to work properly. ALL of my lights work including both of the 3rd brake lights, tail lights, headlights, fogs, etc. The fuse inside the car is good. A couple of days ago I replaced the old, worn multifunction lever (turn signal, washer/wipers, cruise/etc.) with a brand new AC Delco one and everything works on it, except cruise.
Is there a relay under the hood for the cruise or just the fuse in the fuse box next to the glove box? I see a micro relay under the hood that is labeled as "F/PMP SPD CONT". I'm thinking that it's got something to do with the fuel pump, but did see the "SPD CONT" at the end and thought it might have something to do with the cruise. I am probably way off, but it doesn't hurt to ask...lol.
The following pic shows the used module, same part number as the one being replaced. What I want to know is if that yellow ribbon (circled in yellow) that hooks onto the cable is supposed to be like a retractable seat belt type of deal, meaning once it's free from the cable is it supposed to "spring back" into the module (kind of spring loaded, so to say), or if it just hangs there? The reason I'm asking is because when I started to unhook the old one, I've noticed that the old cable has some resistance and it seems like if I completely take the cable off the module that yellow ribbon will spring back into the module. On the replacement module the ribbon doesn't move at all. Maybe it has to be all assembled (with the electrical connector connected) and on the car with it running for it to move? The stock one that's on the car now has got the electrical connector unhooked and the cable wants to snap back into the module, so not sure how that works.
The following pic shows the TB end of the cable, circled in yellow. How the HELL do you get this thing off? LOL I've looked at it for an hour, fiddled around with it, but am not taking any chances of breaking it in case I have to use it at some later point in time.
The 2 following pics show the differences in the cables, with the stock cable being the first pic and the replacement cable being the 2nd pic. The stock cable doesn't have that adjuster thingy on it, closest to the module, so will that make a difference or is either cable fine to use? My plan was to just keep the stock cable where it is and not have to mess with trying to get that black clip off it on the TB end of it and just swap out the modules themselves. Not sure if that's possible...?
I know this is a long post, but just wanted to be sure I had all my questions asked, with the help of the pics.
