I wouldn't do that you could possibly fry something more.

Don't jerry rig your cruise. Think about it...Your cruising at around 60mph..

Re: 94 RAM 1500 Cruise

Well, the thought wasn't to actually use it on a regular basis that way, just for test purposes...but i get the point.

I was installing some "foot" lighting yesterday on/off with the dome light--(a nice detail btw) and noticed a yellow molex plug that was fastened to the metal "U" shaped crossbar right above the hood release. I unplugged it, replugged it and i do know it's not the horn...but it does snake up the column. What does that connector, connect to? Airbag maybe or something else? The wires were dark green & black.

Thinking again...put a test meter on it.

Re: 94 RAM 1500 Cruise

That was the airbag wires. Avoid unplugging them with the battery connected, and DON'T check it with a meter..

Re: 94 RAM 1500 Cruise

Well...

I unplugged it (yesterday) and re-plugged it...nothing happened.

Do I need to get something checked now or is it fine?

Re: 94 RAM 1500 Cruise

Looking through the manual, I notice the wires listed are two vac controls, a brake control, and a ground.

Can I somehow put some other switches on this for testing purposes since its a possiblility that it's the Clock Spring that's bad inside the column?

Re: 94 RAM 1500 Cruise

ALSO...i just checked JC Whitney's site (i get regular emails).

They have an aftermarket Cruise unit....could I possibly wire that using any of the existing controls or servo or something?

I just wondered too, if i could put a meter on the wires under the dash that go to the cruise buttons and see if maybe that's the problem or if it's up in the ClockSpring...

just kinda dumbfounded...thats all

Let me know...i appreciate all your help!

Re: 94 RAM 1500 Cruise

Check the main wiring harness on the driver's side of the engine, where it turns down towards the tranny. Look for melted/shorted wires.
