How to turn back (or forward) the odometer has been discussed here a couple of times. Try a search. Just keep in mind that for every person who has done it successfully, there are probably five who trashed the odometer in the attempt.

 

You cannot wire cruise into a turn signal stalk. The stalk has to come from a vehicle that has cruise, and the stalk will have the wires in it. Then you fish the wires down through the column to the connector at the base.

 

The emissions light is set off by a timer. It's a little box held up under the dash over the driver's knees by velcro. Just unplug it an the light should go out. Keep in mind that it's a reminder to replace the oxygen sensor. The O2 sensor should be replaced every 75,000 miles. If you don't know how many miles are on yours, you should replace it. If it goes bad, it usually results in a rich mix that ruins the catalytic converter ... at which point you have to buy both an O2 sensor AND a catalytic converter.

Does the new lever already have the wires attached for cruise? If so, you fish the wires down the steering column and plug them into the connector at the base, where the wires from the old one plugged in.

 

If the "new" stalk you got didn't come from a vehicle with cruise control and doesn't already have the wires ... you can't use it.

DOES ... IT ... HAVE ... WIRES ... ?

 

It is difficult to be of help by remote control when you don't provide any information. Your question was how to wire a replacement stalk. The answer is -- you cannot. The wires are built into the stalk. If the stalk you got is already set up for cruise and has the wires and the button, then your question is not how to wire the stalk, it's how to connect the stalk to the existing cruise control.

 

If the stalk has wires, how many are there, what colors are they, and is it a round (bundled) cable or a flat ribbon cable?
