gm raised parts prices after the bail out, as did chrysler. I guess that was their attempt to show profit
havin issues guys.. hooked up wiring as stated..and checked for continuity..its there as its supposed to be. i tied into it where it meets the column wiring harnes. (with the black horn wire in it..was 3 coming from chassis to a Single black wire harness for the column, horn wire..) Chcked for continuity after all that and good, its there.. plugged in multiple combos of configurations, and still NO luck..hmm..what the phuk am i doing wrong guys?! lol ok..outter most tabs on the switch.. say this is the plug..
(1234] the ( being the rounded back half and the ] being the front where the buttons are.. outter most as in 1 and 4 or as in 1&2 or 3&4? cuz now that i think of it...i didnt try the 1&4 combo...hmmmm.... lemme know guys.
N/m..i got it.. it was positions 1&4.. pin closest to front of switch and rear of switch..reading the write up.."outter most pins" can be a little tricky..oh well. it works! WOOOOO!! 30 dollar cruise, YEAAHHH BOOOYYYY!! ill show yinz guys pics of my professional install! muhahah! just gotta get pictures! :-D
Just finished my install today, way too easy. I used part # 96813273 which the dealership told me was the correct switch for the 08. Only cost me $42 for the switch, and I used some scrap wire to install it.
I mounted it to the drivers seat belt latch, it is firmly in place and is conferable to push.

Butt connectors worked great as terminal ends, just pinched them a little with some duckbills

Would this void my warrenty?
Probibly, I'm not to sure though. I guess you would have to call the stealership to find out. You are taping into engine controling electrical components.
it should not void your warranty, but that does not mean the dealership wont tell you it will.
Ima about to order this switch from gmpartsdirect.com and it came out to like 32.XX shipped for the #96433106 and will be going on a 2008 hatch. Hope all works out because Iam starting to get pissed that I keep getting warnings from DPS and highway patrol for going 5-9 MPH over the speed limit when Iam cruising along and dont notice how fast Iam going at that moment when they pass by. Ill let you all know how it works out.
Just put my cruisAttachment 4232e in the other day along with A/C. Located my switch here (pics). I put some foam around the switch to cover any gaps. Works like a charm 08 SV.Attachment 4231
easy, worked great for my 07 special value hatchback
I am surprised, you all seem to be using the steering wheel mount switch in odd places when stalk type switches are available:

whats with all the jcwhitney links in the last day?
those switches dont just wire in, and cost more than the $20-30 everyone here paid.. for $150-170 you can buy the rest of the pieces to put it in the steering wheel and still spend less than that universal jc whitney kit.
Hi Everyone,
I've been reading on this thread since last year and it seems my 08 sedan has different wiring, I already have the cruise control switch but I'm having a hard time figuring out where to hook it. It seems my pin 6 wire is white & pin 7 is brown ( i dont know if I'm reading it wrong that's why I'm hoping someone should shed light on me). I attached pictures of connector where I should be hooking this switch. I also read the 2011 cruise DIY and I believe I have that switch to but again I have different wiring color.
Thanks in advance for those who will find time helping me.Attachment 4395Attachment 4396
Hello all, new to the forum here. I have an 09' Aveo ls sedan and was wondering if anyone has attempted to install cruise control into one of the 09's yet? I read through most of the pages without much luck.
we don't want it to look like an Aftermarket Afterthought. I'm planning to Open up my Steering column tomorrow and see what wires are there, and what's not there.Quote:

Here is a photo of mi firewall plug:

My instrument pannel (tachometer...) doesn't have the light for the speed control, i only have one light for 120km/h warning.
So, what do you think? If i buy the switch would it work? Does my car have the cruise control program available at the onboard computer o would have to upload it?
Thank you very much.
does your 2008 spanish edition aveo have drive by wire, or is it a cable driven throttle?
which engine do you have? snap pictures of the engine bay?
Hi, it's a 1.4 100hp gas, manual transmission.Quote:

Regards,
your Gas Pedal looks like the one in my 2010, so YES, your Car is Drive By Wire. and one question, does your RPO Label have the Code C98? (its the code for the Passenger Sensing Airbags) if so, you can order the Clockspring to put the switches in the steering wheel.Quote:

Thank you i will post my questions at the "2011 aveo sedan cruise control Install" post.
According to my VIN number i haven't seen at the GM TIS 2010 Program any RPO Code starting with C98, i have seen only this:Quote:

żIs this what are you referring?
So after reading thought the thread, and looking over the photo Attachment 6295
I'm seeing this this might be 3 resistors connected to switches?
Can any one confirm this?
Trying to find out what those values for the resistors might be, if that's what is it is.
Yes!!, they are infact 3 resistors connected to a switch and 2 buttons!!

I now have a fulling working cruise control !!
Are there any instructions for a 2005 Aveo hatchback. I know it's not the plug and play easy operation like the 2006 and later, but it will cost 430.00 to have it installed. Cheaper than a speeding ticket, I guess :)
I installed on my 05. Got mine off eBay for $205.Quote:

Hope it helps
I have an '06 Aveo5 hatchback and just installed cruise control into it this weekend. After looking at the different locations where other people had their cc switch installed wasn't very appealing to me. I tried a different location that I haven't seen posted yet so I want to share what I did. I have mine attached to the speedometer housing.
The cut out.

I like where I put the CC Switch, out of the way and no where near the windshield wiper lever which makes it very safe to operate. It is in very good view and easy to reach.
Everything went back together very easy as there was enough room for the screws/nuts and wires. Took the car out for a drive and the CC Switch works flawless. Hopefully others will follow, it is by far a safer location, unless you want to buy a clock spring for the steering wheel. $$$$
That's a really nice spot! I 'modified' mine as well to fit the contour, but I went behind the windshield stalk.
Thanks PoisonIvy, I thought so too. You have a picture to show what yours looks like.
Mine is a 2010, but they're very similar. Brought out the Dremel and removed alot of the interior plastic that stuck out. Works perfectly. Sight of it isn't nearly as good as where you placed yours, but I know exactly which button is which.
Do you find that location to be in the way of the windshield wiper control, do you hit the buttons on the CC Switch with the arm.Quote:

I was a mechanic in the navy for 8 years, so let me tell you i have exhausted all options i know to do this. So here i am. I have some pics showing underneath my dash, and of the suspected plug. Please let me know, if possible, if i am missing the wires or if they are a different color, if they are not there, can i still install c.c.? Thanks in advance.

since you have a 2007 Sedan, you might want to read though this thread: http://www.aveoforum.com/forum/f94/2...install-11769/ It highlights the installation of Cruise Control on the 2007-2011 Sedans, and the 2009-2011 Hatchbacks. its a mod that I've done myself, and its MUCH Easier to install than on the 06 Cars.Quote:

A couple of 1100 mile trips almost killed me - I'd emerge from the car nearly a cripple. Since there is no local Chevrolet dealer I trust, I decided to try a do-it-yourself install. First some research, then a purchase from a top-rated eBay seller. When the kit arrived, I took one look and set it aside because the task looked to be too daunting. A very talented relative goaded me into making an effort, and volunteered to help. We were well started when we realized the instructions were not adequate. I dashed to the internet computer and downloaded a PDF for the same model kit. By combining the two instruction sets, we (mostly he!) got the thing installed with the control on the steering wheel column. First try, it worked, and has been a blessing for over three years.
Conclusions: 1) an Aveo is useless for long trips without a cruise unit. 2) I'll never try this sort of project again - but will either purchase the vehicle with a factory installation or pay somebody to do it for me.
I've read all of these posts and related, and still have not been able to figure out where to connect the two cruise control wires on my 2007 Aveo sedan. My car does not have cruise control wires at the harness with the horn wire; it only has the audio wires.
I have studied the description on how to do it on the 2006 car, but the connectors at the firewall do not have the same color wires as described therein (green with white stripe). I am reasonably handy and can usually figure these thing out. Solomonj76 posted pics of his 2007 wiring; it is the same as mine. The attached image shows the connectors at the firewall. (image is turned sideways, left is the top.) Attachment 8925
I'm not really sure why all of the DIY cruise threads direct you to a connector on the firewall, when the two wires you need are run to the white connector from the airbag clockspring regardless of whether cruise is installed or not. If you pull the lower dash cover off underneath the steering wheel it is mounted toward the center of the car. Theres a mess of wires coming out of one end of the connector, and only one wire coming out of it for your horn.
Attachment 8936
Attachment 8937
The wires you'd need to tap are the gray and brown wires on the female connector. The colors may vary between models, but they're in the same positions.
If those wires aren't there, then you'd need to go to the firewall I presume.

The wires you'd need to tap are on the other side of the green and gray wires on the connector pictured here. The colors may vary between models, but they're in the same positions on the connector.

Thanks, Thud. I did try the connector to which you are referring. In my car (2007 base sedan) there are only three wires on that connector; one for the horn and two for the radio steering wheel switches. Only one wire is used; the green wire is for the horn. I tried connecting the cruise control switch to the blue wire and light brown with white stripe wire... the result was I couldn't change the radio station with the buttons mounted on the radio!
Here is a pic of the connector with the horn wire and the non-used radio control wires. Sadly, I still am without operating cruise control...
By the way, to make the connections, I tinned (with solder) the exposed ends of my small gauge wires, flattened the tinned wire slightly with a hammer, and inserted them through the "unused" end of the connector in the appropriate locations. They new wires protruded just like the original male ends should and connected together just like the factory intended without cutting into any original wires.
(PS as far as I know, the airbag wires are in a yellow protective cover. The connector in question is solely for steering wheel-mounted controls.)
Attachment 8935
it would be the black and gray wire "above" or "behind" the blue and brown..
and I think you need to look on the other side of the connector.
