Hotwiring 96 cruise control module
I have a 96 c1500 120" wb, short bed, standard cab, with a 5.0, nv3500 3.42 rear that is mostly stock. It has 269k original on it right now.
I bought the 20 year old truck with the intent of gutting it (drive train also) and going carbureted (stand alone later) with minimal electric. I will be installing a sm465 behind a big block. One of the few electronic things I would like to keep is the cruise control. I believe I can "hotwire" the cruise control box on a switch letting me have cruise on those long trips. I would use a clutch position sensor to de engerize it as well as a back up de engerize toggle switch if the clutch postion sensor was to fail. What I am talking about is this box here on the right side of the firewall next to the booster. It has a cable trailing up to the throttle body. ![]() Here is the cable on the left controlling the throttle body position. ![]() Here is the wiring going into the box. ![]() I could build something that would hold the cable. But I have this and if it could be hotwired they are all over junk yards letting me add cheap cruise control to some of my other older rides. Can anyone provide any info on how this is wired so I am not guessing.
