I found the two wires for the cruise control on the other side of the clockspring. Then I pulled them back a bit to tie into the cruise control box.
Then, I took the cruise stalk apart, soldered wires to the actual board (it's not really a board, just some tabs molded in plastic connected to the plug/3 resistors). With it all apart, it's really easy to see which closed circuit controls what motion. After figuring out how all of it worked, I soldered wires to it, then put the box together with the wires coming out where the stalk used to be. I used solder/heat shrink on everything.
I kept the oem plug into the cruise stalk, and just soldered/heat shrunk the two wires before the clockspring to the two that go to the cc plug. After that, I ran the wires to two 3-way momentary switches (One switch for "on/off" and "cancel", and the other for "+ Res" and "- Set"). Then I mounted the two switches to the left of the radio on the faux carbon panel.
I used my label maker from work for now, but I will be switching to the aircraft style black/gray label to make it not stand out too much.
Kinda racecar, and I dig it so much.
