I have been tracking down a problem where the cruise control pods on the steering wheel simply do not light up. Finally figured out why.

Since I was going to replace that assembly anyway that is behind the steering wheel.. you know the one with the coiled up ribbon that connects the airbag and cruise pods to the rest of the truck, I decided to make a concentrated effort to make the pods light up. I had the complete assembly with all harnesses from the green expo I gutted.

This is what the connector is supposed to look like going to the steering wheel:


zoom in and notice there is a wire coming out of every hole, even 2 in one of them.

So here is what I found under the dash:





Notice anything missing? This is coming from the truck, the steering wheel wires plug in to this.

So I ran a wire and all is well, lights work now.

Either it never worked from the factory or the harness was replaced with one that did not have cruise control. Since all indications are that the harness itself is original I'm leaning toward it being like that from the factory. It never has worked!

On to the next of 100 things....
