Additional Notes
Wiring Information:
The required wiring connections to the vehicle harness are as follows:
Red: Connect to switched 12 volt source. Ideally, connect to same power location as the engine ECU.
Black: Connect to a good ground point on the chassis or fire wall.
Orange: Connect to cruise (-) terminal on D.D. systems, or you choice of cruise indicators
Blue: Connect to fused terminal that feeds power to the brake lights.
White/Brown: Connect to cold side of brake light switch. This wire should have 12 volts only when the brake is
depressed. When the brake is not depressed it should be grounding through the brake light bulbs.
If the brake light bulbs are not connected or are burned out, the system will not operate. LED
brake lights will not provide proper grounding. If you have LED brake lights, use an
automotive relay with the white/brown wire between 12 volts and ground as shown below.
Manual transmission vehicles: It is recommended that you connect this kit to a clutch disengagement switch. You
may use an OEM switch or the Dakota Digital (SEN-4206). This cruise kit has two dedicated clutch switch inputs:
positive triggered and negative triggered. Use a multi-meter to measure the output of your clutch switch and hook the
appropriate wire to the clutch switch.
**Note** If you have LED taillights in your vehicle you will have to run a relay between the brake switch and the cruise
control box as shown below. You must use a 5 terminal relay that is normally closed between terminal 30 and 87A.
Control switch:
There are various types of turn signal and dash mount control switches that are available. The type of control switch
that we supply with the cruise control is a closed circuit type for a turn signal handle control and open circuit for dash
mount switches. If you will be connecting to a factory GM four wire control switch, they are open circuit type. GM
switches which do not have four wires are not compatible with this cruise control. Ford cruise control switches are
neither closed circuit nor open circuit and are not compatible with this cruise control.
Yellow: Clutch switch (Positive Trigger)
White: Clutch switch (Negative Trigger)
