Replacement Cruise Control Switch
Hey, I need a cruise control switch for my cherokee. I followed the procedure in the FSM and its definitely the switch. Here is my dilemna however, one JY wants 35$ for the switch and the other doesnt have the exact one. Now I know the switch is a GM switch and was wondering if anyone knew what other cars I could get it out of. It looks like the exact one may only come from 80s GM cars. However, I found several 90s buicks and cadilacs with a very similar switch but it had a different plug on the end. It was still 4 wires though. Does anyone know if I could use one of these or not??

I did more research and found that although not specifically for a cherokee 80s-early 90s GM cars have a switch that looks identical and has the same wire as the cherokee. Off to the JY I go then. Unless of course it rains...

Well on the renix xjs its different I believe it is all electronic on those. On my 94 its an electronically activated vacuum servo connected to the throttle. Low and behold the electronics failed on mine. I think I have a short in one of the wires going to the PCM.
