Cruise Control socket missing...

Insanely (!) there's no socket to accept the C/C loom in the accessory panel! :cheese:

What now?

I doubt that has anything to do with it but the question remains.

Why would they make a loom that cannot connect to their own provision cluster?

I've heard of people taking a feed off the brake pedal switch but that's not proper is it?

All connectors are pretty straightforward.

Clutch switch at clutch switch, Computer plugged in, Stalk connected properly, earthed properly - the last plug which goes to the provision panel does not fit anywhere there - I've read of others having this problem.

I'll take some pix.

The loom and stalk are brand new from BMW. It's a 1992 Touring.

i can't remember exactly where the cruise plugs go in the accessory panel but why don't you find a breaker and cut off some plugs in this area that fits. Cut the old ones off and solder in the ones that fit?

It's only 2 wires iirc
