On a manual transmission that wire would be hooked up to a clutch pedal switch so that when you push in the clutch it disengages the cruise, otherwise it will likley bounce off the rev limiter when you push in the clutch. You can hook it to the brake light switch though as long as you remember to shut the cruise off before using the clutch pedal.
Sounds like i have half the battle fought since I already have a clutch pedal switch wired into the start circuit.
So for safety what you are suggesting is for 12v at a clutch switch going to pin 33 interrupted by pushing in the pedal which shuts off cruise. So before I add that switch I should be able to test for cruise by adding that hot wire directly to pin 33?
When that makes the cruise activate I will gladly wire in that double brake switch on my clutch pedal to activate/deactivate the normally open and normally closed functions for a safe, permanent install.
I will report the outcome.
Thanks again for your expertise.
