First off, pretty sure you can use any of the sockets on the left hand side of the green speed signal block (left hand as if it's in place on the car).

Yes, those 2 cables need to be shorted on an auto.

Looks like a pre-facelift loom, the connector is different on facelift looms.

Cheers,

cheers for the reply mate

i have shortned the 2 red/green wires i assume this is the clutch switch wire (normally connected to a clutch switch on a manual)

i connected the speed signal wire on to the right hand side on the green plug (as your looking at it stright on from behind the cluster


i connected two other wires i had that were green/red and purple/white to the brake switch wires

i connted the brown to earth

and one other wire that i had which was blue/brown to a blue/brown wire in the car i tried to test the cruise control it didnt seem to do anything

any idea what would be wrong?

all the wires and cables are connected
