Cruise/speed control not working

This has happened to me. The tiny wires at the base of the shifter got pinched in the shifter's pivot joint. I used some telecom splice connectors for a temp fixed, and then a body shop replaced it after the broke the end of the shifter all the way off while doing some paint work.

But... consider you have non-working cruise control too, I would also make sure the steering wheel connectors are all connected! I believe cruise and OD run through one connector, and airbag runs through another. Does your horn work?

Indeed, this is where it gets complicated. If I go back tomorrow I will indeed take a look at these wires. With 91k I suppose anything is possible!

Where would these wire harness's meet up with the boards where they plug into? I lifted the instrument panel up (its on hinges) and discovered a little prop bar and took a peek. The park brake sensor is in there, I got access to it to enable the jacks and slide. I DID see a few connectors that had nothing plugged into them, however not knowing what they were for, I didnt try to connect them to anything. I DID however look around for nearby possibilities for mates, and seeing to males to match these females, I disregarded them, and assumed they were there for some optional feature.


I never thought to dig deeper into these. Perhaps its as simple as that. Wouldnt that be fun lol.
