So the owner before me wanted cruise control and the factory installed it. Well they did a complete shitty job on it and ill show you why.
The wires they used for the cruise control are completely melting and have become extremely brittle. They just hang over the turbo and sometimes even touch the damn manifold. Now I've ziptied them numerous times and the ziptie melt.... I want this cruise control wires OUT of the system. I need input on which wires to cut / whats tapped into what and so on.
This is the CC box..
These are the two wires coming from the box, one taps into some more wires behind the battery and one that leads to the throttle body cable wire.
These are the wires that the box wires tap into.. I need them all seperated and all Cruise control OUT of the bay.. any suggestions?
WRONG! Cruise control was not available from the factory for the SRT-4, possibly the dealer installed it but I doubt that even happened. Perhaps someone else can correct me if I'm wrong but that doesn't even look like any Dodge cruise control I've ever seen. The Neon cruise, and pretty much every Dodge cruise vaccum control unit I've seen is a round bell looking item with a cone shape leading to where the cable dispenses. That looks like a personal install done really badly, someone should have used cable heat shielding and zip tied the cables across the top of the spark plug wires, hell I can't believe that even works there, are those wires really draped RIGHT over the turbo???
Factory cruise can be installed on the SRT-4 as long as the car has the stock ECU or stage 1 ECU, but not stage 2 or 3 because the portion of the ECU that controls the cruise is dedicated to the 'toys' packages for 2 and 3. Not all the features work though, can't coast and I believe you can't resume, but you can set the cruise and that's enough for some. I'd guess about half a dozen owners installed the factory cruise on their cars, but it took some real ingenuity as far as how to connect the cable to the stock throttle body, because there is only one cog and that's for the throttle cable.
The factory cruise control is located at about 4 o'clock on the steering wheel on a little lever on the back side of the steering wheel itself. Is that what the car has in it? If you want I'll take a picture of mine, I have the cruise installed, I'm working on getting the cable hooked to the throttle body in a neat manner, that looks factory, that's the tough part.
If you really do want to get rid of it, read this thread about How To Install Cruise Control and do the steps in reverse. Also, someone on here may want to buy the setup if it really is a Dodge factory cruise, but somehow I doubt it is one.

Cruise control was not an option on this car, so it can't be from the factory, unless you are saying it's 'factory' cruise, as in the equipment itself is standard, but was put on by someone after they purchased the car. You could not order the cruise because the dealer's book flat out states that cruise will not work on the car, it just happens to work as a few people here found out.
I second the idea of wiring it up better and leaving it. CC is awesome to have on those long trips, or if you ever want to get some action going on while you drive if you get my drift.

Misunderstood, I mean its a factory part and was put on by the dealership.
