install stock cruise on a vn s-pack

Yes it is pretty easy although you need the right hand switchblock for the controls ...that is a bit finicky as well as the two extra wires that go to the instrument cluster connectors.
Some cars have the cruise control wiring installed separate so look for these...they will be identified by the separate wiring loom coming out of the stepper motor and not taped into the main loom.
here's the circuit diagram

 

wear did you get the unit from? and how much was it if you don't mine?

 

by any chance would the cruise control unit from a V8 fit on a V6

 

Hi all,
I've done this mod to my '90 Series 1 V6 and it worked fine, only prob I encountered was the SET and RESUME buttons were wired in reverse, which I preferred anyway. Easy fixed by changing over the labels on the buttons, job done....

The wiring loom is available from Holden at around the 120 mark I think. As long as it comes with all the female pin connectors ready to push into the dash wiring blocks, it should be a peice of cake. Otherwise wiring into the blocks could be a little tricky as you will need the correct connectors and the correct crimping tool. Maybe a nice little job for your auto elec? But fitting them to the blocks will be dead easy using the wiring diagram.

Below is the link to the thread I originally commented on, this(along with the wiring diagram already supplied) should help give a picture of whats involved. I have some basic pics of the unit, loom, wiring to fuse box and the brake switches if someone would like me to post them on here also, someone just needs to ask. I have them on my PC at work and can post them tonight....while I'm on night shift.

As for fitting to a V8, I'm not sure, but reckon the only issue would be wiring into the dash if there was going to be a problem. Everything else should be alright I would think, as it's a straight bolt on for the control module and the throttle control.

All said and done, it's nice to have a factory accessory rather than a bolt on from Autobarn....

Cheers.... :drink:

Don't know about the Ford controls.... Thought about that myself, but decided to stick with the factory stuff. Could be messy and the audio controls would be wasted and therefore out of place?

I picked up everything I needed from a mate who was wrecking a VN for $170, a very casual half a day to fit it. I didn't purchase the loom, but did make enquiries and Holden said they could get it for around $110-$120. You will get it cheaper if you know someone that can get trade discount. $220-$250 doesn't sound bad, just make sure you get everything needed.

Some of the loom wiring goes to a couple of wiring blocks that the dash cluster plugs into. These blocks have other wiring as well, so be careful what they give you as it may get messy. I had the fortune of getting the blocks with all the non cruise wiring cut off. I just noted the wiring in the original blocks then extracted the cruise wires and then re-inserted them into the blocks in my car. As I remember, I had to do the same on the switch block plugs which needed some pretty fancy Stanley knife work to extract the connectors out of the old plugs.

I wanted to paste these images in, but not sure how to do it. :bang:

Let me know if you want any more info, will try and help if I can.

Here's some pics....

 

i will sell u a vp cruise controll thingy i have all of it let me no i will be cheaper then the wreckers

 

hmmm used to have a cruise unit just like that one.....

if u need any help putting it in i can take so photos from where i pulled things out from.
good luck with it all

 

Ive got a secondhand wirng loom for cruise control for a VN/P if anyone wants one for $20+post with all the plugs intact and lugs on the ends going to the switchblock and instrument cluster so it will plug straight in if anyone is interested.


That wiring diagram above is very familar.
