CRUISE CONTROL INSTALLATION PROCEDURE OUTLINED. Cadillac Cimarron 1982

For 1990-2009 cars

# CRUISE CONTROL INSTALLATION PROCEDURE OUTLINED

The following procedure is provided to assist in the dealer installation of Cruise Control kits #997828 and #997827. This procedure was developed for Cimarrons with automatic transaxles (#997828); however, most of these steps can be used for Cimarrons equipped with manual transaxles. Differences between the two are indicated in the instruction sheet provided with the kit. The instruction sheet included with the kit and the 1982 Cimarron Service Information Manual should be referred to where indicated in this procedure.

1. To install wiring harness, partially remove windshield washer bottle to gain access to knockout in dash panel. The knockout is located next to the welded seam at the top left corner; refer to sheet 8 of the kit instruction sheet. Remove knockout and install grommet (part of wiring harness). From inside car, remove closeout panel and route wiring over steering column support (lower the steering column for easier access).

2. R&R speedometer cluster trim panel (6 torx head screws).

3. Partially remove speedometer cluster (disconnect speedometer cable at transmission first). Disconnect existing speedometer cable, feed cable through firewall and install new speedometer cables at transmission and speedometer cluster. Tie fish wire (or equivalent) to cluster end of existing speedometer cable before feeding through firewall to assist routing of new speedometer cable.

4. Disconnect wires from existing stoplamp/TCC release switch and remove switch. Replace with stoplamp/Cruise Control release switch and also install TCC release switch/vacuum release valve. Follow procedure outlined on page 9-9, (figure 9-7) in the 1982 Cimarron Service Information Manual for correct installation and adjustment.

5. Remove existing turn signal lever and install new lever. Rotate steering column bowl to low position; follow steps outlined on page 9-14 (figure 9-14) in the 1982 Cimarron Service Information Manual for correct installation procedure.

6. To install transducer-servo brackets, drill two holes in left shock tower as shown in the kit instruction sheet. Punch dent into dimples for easier drilling.

7. Install transducer onto brackets (bend brackets if necessary). Refer to sheet 1 of the kit instruction sheet.

8. Install electrical connector and speedometer cables to transducer and install remaining electrical connectors at fuse block and brake-activated switches. On some installations, it may be necessary to shave the side blade of the fuse block connector to fit fuse block cavity.

9. Install servo onto brackets. Refer to sheet 2 of the kit instruction sheet.

10. Install throttle cable to servo bracket. Using third ball on servo chain install chain on cable. With throttle completely closed (ignition off and fast idle cam off), adjust cable Jam nuts until chain is almost tight (some slack). Tighten jam nut to specified torque. Then remove plastic retainer (used to retain boot in depressed position) and pull servo boot over cable washer.

11. Install hoses (vacuum) to servo, transducer, tee and fitting at intake manifold. Refer to sheet 4 of the kit instruction sheet.

12. Remove existing AIR pipe assembly and install new AIR pipe assembly while on hoist. It may be easier to connect AIR pipe to hoses from top side (underhood).

13. Install aspirator hose to AIR routing.

14. Road test and check for proper operation of Cruise Control system.

The suggested labor time for the Cimarron dealer-installed Cruise Control is 5.8 hours.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
