Bypassing Clockspring
Is it possible to hook my cruise control up completely bypassing the clockspring? I tried what I thought would work . . . the Jeep died so I'm looking for someone with some experience in this area.

There are 2 ways to do it (theoretically):
1. If you can relocate CC switches somewhere on dashboard.
2. If you make "spring" outside steering column.
If clockspring is bad, air bag doesn't work, which is much more important than CC.
97-01 clocksprings with CC go on ebay for about $100

I was wanting to relocate the CC switches to where ashtray is. Not a tranditional location I know but I got the idea stuck in my head and it's growing on me. I guess all I really need is a wiring diagram but like I said earlier . . . I connect black to black, color to color, and the jeep died lol. Took a while to get it back too . . . I was nervous

Well . . . that's what I thought! I'll take a picture tomorrow and show you guys what I'm talking about. I just did a down and dirty rigging to check concept and it should have worked . . . definitely did not.

any luck with bypassing the clock spring for cruise control? I am interested in relocating as well! Maybe an old wagoner steering wheel as well 🤔
