Geonovast Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 A friend of mine is getting a 99 XJ without cruise, and she'd like to add it. I personally used this kit http://www.amazon.com/Audiovox-CCS100-U ... B00029WQTW a few years ago to add cruise to my 91 2.5 (At that time I didn't know how ridiculously easy the 91-96 factory cruise systems were to install), but I'm curious on your thoughts on what the best options would be. Would getting a factory setup be easier? I can't remember if the 97+ cruise is on the steering wheel or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 the cruise system on a '99 xj is just like it was on your blue truck when I hooked it in. it's plug and play...get the motor/servo, with the vacuum line for it, and get the controls. IIRC the controls are thumb controls on the steering wheel. I'll grab you a conversion for it this coming weekend @ LKQ. it's an easier setup.

Geonovast Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Ok, sweet. Lemme know how much it is and I'll let her know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Ok, sweet. Lemme know how much it is and I'll let her know. correy, LKQ will likely throw it in with the lot of everything else I'm buying and I confirmed that the on/off controls are on left side (thumb operated) and the set/acc/coast buttons are on the right side. the wiring and everything should be all right there...after 97 any option is literally bolt-in.

Burls Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 $466 holy gbus. What clocking spring? The one under the airbag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I seriously doubt that the clocking spring is different. there would be no point in that being a different part between cruise and non-cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree there is no point in a cruise and non-cruise version but in chrysler's infinite wisdom they made 2 different clock springs. Hell the 97-98 xjs and tjs you had to replace the entire steering wheel to add factory cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sam Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I seriously doubt that the clocking spring is different. there would be no point in that being a different part between cruise and non-cruise. The clocksprings are different. Trust me, I've replaced dozens of them. Also, the 97/98 buttons use different resistance than the 99-01. If you want to install cruise in a 99 you need 99-01 buttons. All actuators/servos are the same electrically, but the plug changed in 97. You can use a acuator from a 92 for example, if you splice in the correct plug to your 97+ wiring, the number of wires, order and the color is the same, so it should be easy if you cannot grab a newer one.

I can do it, but I don't enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Correy, Not mentioning any names but if someone needs any '01 cruise stuff :D altho with shipping might be cheaper to find something closer to home. Or use a sking trip as an excuse and come get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
