It's in the INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, not attached to the ECU. Goes from the to the Cruise Unit and the other stuff I don't care about.

Page 85, it looks like you just have to tap into the P/S connector for it. On a similar note, what type of output is this? (voltage, pulse, etc.)

Go to the Cruise Control Units plug and look for the green/red wire.

Or go to the Pwr Steering Control Units plug and look for the green/red wire there.

Or if you had an automatic transmission, go to the ECAT Control Unit and look for the green/red wire at the ECAT.

What are you looking for to use that wire for?

Gosh no. That is the cruise control SWITCH. You want to go to the Cruis Control Unit located near your left foot. A few inches aft of the interior fuse box.

What kind of book are you looking at? It seems a good book but your not looking in the right places. Is that the Wiring Diagrams??????? book????

I looked at the seies five wiring diagrams online yesterday and it was a green/red wire leaving the instrument cluster and still green/red at the cruise control unit and pwr steering control unit.
