Proud of myself !

On my S5 NA, 8 of years ago, I've done the manual conversion following :Rotary Resurrection home of the budget rebuild..

Two things went "wrong" : I couldn't unplug the auto trans ecu because it made my car run like crap ! Otherwise, it run really well ! The other thing was that the cruise control was not working...

Sold my "top-less" to my mother couple of years ago (not a good car for a new dad...) and her new boyfriend asked me last week if I could fix the CC... challenged accepted !

It was really hard to find the information for a non-mecanic dude like me !

Spotted the cruise control unit and unplugged the wires related to the auto-trans : the "g" and "j" wire ! Just that simple ! Well, had to find out how to take out the wire from the connector without cuting it. For newbs like me : theres is a plastic cover to unclip where the wire enters the connector and then you have to lift a plastic pin in the other side of the connector...

Took 8 years !!!

Next challenge : install a clutch switch to stop the CC when clutch is press done... for my mother's safety !

Breaks my heart to give it back to her, looks so fine in my garage !!!

Cheers !

 

Where is the cruise control unit? Is this on a s4? Im trying to fix mine too!

 

S5 NA... edited my first post !

The first PDF is to locate the CC unit.
The second is what I used for my S5. Don't know if it's the same thing for the S4...

 

If "g" is an output from the unit to the EAT "which no longer is used", why would it need to be unplugged?

 

What did you do with the wiring near the auto shifter that allowed the electric top to function when the car was in "P" or "N"?
