Dellboy999,

would you have to upgrade to EF cruise control in order for the set + and set - buttons to work correctly when installing the EF steering colum and steering wheel into a EA-ED?


Hi,

That would require a complete install of the EF system.

They are very different. Dellboy said you could use the EF/EL Cruise buttons, but change the output resistance to match the signals sent by the EA/ED system. Once identified, this shouldn't be too hard to accomplish.

BenJ


thanks for that info. I would like to install the EF set up. How hard is that? I would be killing two birds with one stone here. (my existing cruise dosen't work anyway) What are the main differences between the two?

Have a look in the doco section.

From memory there is a tutorial about it.

The EA/ED system is based on a vacume setup.

The EF/EL system is all electric. You may not be able to get the EA/ED ECU to talk to the EF/EL Cruise system.

Good luck and happy researching.

I couldn't find the EA-ED cruise doco. But i read the EF-EL one. My NC has ABS so that should make it a bit easier (hopefully). I couldn't find out what sort data the ECU tells the EF/EL cruise ststem. Do you know?

it is very easy to install ef cruise in to a ea -d just remove the old unit ( and the vacume pump on the left side ) install the new unit (ef-l) hook up acc cable if u haven't as yet install a bbm ( witch most have ) u will have to mod the cable . then hooking it up
looking into the plug with the tag at the top from left to right ( im not sure if the plug is marked with numbers )but the first left pin is 10 then 9 ...ect
so 10 is ground
9 goes to the switch on the master cyl not the one at the bottom,the one on the side ( looks just like the power steer switch ) check one will have power with ignition on send the outher wire to pin 9
8 no wire
7 ignition power
6 goes to the ground wire of your cruise switches
5 goes to the feed wire of the cruise switches ( orange )
4 stop light switch
3 speedo sender output
2 no wire
1 goes to the dash light

i have a V8 so no BBM! So no need to change ECU's?
