I have a 72 cutlass that i am putting cruise control on it. Can anyone tell me where the fused 12 volt wire is supposed to go to? looks like it piggiebacks to another connector but i cant figure out which one it is. Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks Greg

 

Hi Greg
I'm not very good with wiring, but I've got a camera and a 1971 Cutlass project car with cruise. Are you needing to see where the power attaches to the face of the fuse box? Or if not, tell me what pictures to take and I'll try to get them for you. John

 

Greg, it goes to the accessory tab on the fuse block. Have a look at page 15-16 of this link. It will show you exactly what you are looking for. http://wildaboutcarsonline.com/membe...ection_15A.pdf BTW, are you installing OEM cruise or aftermarket?

 

Well i have 2 cruise control harness setups, both of them after the fuse holder go to a plug that hooks kinda piggyback to another plug set up, kinda like if you have a power trunk button and piggyback it to the glove box light power. I was going to just go to the fusebox but it looked like it went somewhere else.

 

Im am installing a OEM cruise control

 

Plugs into the IGN terminal hole on the fuse block/

See if this thread might help you with your installation. It is not yet complete, but I'm almost there!

 

Here is a picture of whats at the end of both of the 12 volt power part of the harness

 

Looks kinda like the red piece on my fuse block. My car had a power bench seat when I got it. I sold that several years ago but think it was also plugged into this piece. Mine doesn't have the inline fuse but I believe mine goes to the relay behind the drivers side kick panel. John

John, the red piece you have there is a small version of an accessory junction block. The cruise can be plugged into that or the spot where the blue wire is. Those fuse holders look real ugly....

 

Just make sure the port only gets 12V when the key is in IGN position.

 

Thanks for all the input guys, i stopped trying to figure out what that piece junctioned into and just put it in the Acc port, oh well dont overthink it huh?

So, is it all hooked up and ready to test yet?

 

Yes all hooked up ready to test but i have other issues right now so i cant drive it for now.

Minor thread hijack... Allen, I don't think my project car was staying as dry as I'd though the past few winters

 

...methinks you're right.....

 

Just where is that giant carport you were planning out?

 

It's taking FOREVER Rob! But that's what I get for trying to do it myself and not hire a contractor! 20/20 hindsight I would have had this done months ago if I'd have farmed it out!

Sorry Greg, I'm afraid we got far afield from your original post. Just smack us when we start off on rabbit trails like this! John

 

Holy chicken legs Batman! That thing is massive! It looks like a lot of weight on those little poles! I thought you would have been using all steel...

 

...and you must have an extremely patient wife.
