I know that working on my own car (Honda Civic), I have to unhook the negative battery cable for at least two minutes before even working in that area. I'd assume if you unhook the cable, give it a couple of minutes, and then work around it (either unhooking it, or leaving it hooked - your choice?) then you'd be safe from it going off.

 

Operation Install CC

Just thought I would report that I successfully installed Cruise Control on my 2007 Corolla CE manual trans.

Bought the CC main switch from RockAuto - total cost $89.24CAD
Bought the Clutch Release switch from local NAPA store - cost $34.71CAD
Local purchase Torx T30 driver and T30 socket driver - $18.59CAD

Total Cost - $142.54CAD (CAD is only about $0.76US)

Took me a fair amount of time (I'm very cautious), and quite a bit of awkward fiddling to get things disconnected, parts installed and properly connected up, other items re-installed.

Did not disconnect the AirBag wires, just very carefully set the assembly on the top of the steering column cover (through the steering wheel spokes and with a piece of cloth to protect from the metal parts).

With the green ground wire that needed to be transferred over, I could NOT get it out of the existing connector so I simply made up a new short ground wire and intstalled it in the CC Switch connector.

Just back from a short test drive to see that system actually worked and "Yes Indeedee Do" :smile:
Hopefully it will continue to do so and give my poor old right foot & leg a rest on the long Canadian Prairie drives.

I am relatively new to TN Forums and have been finding it very helpful!!
