But now you can't use those ac vents

 

I always use floor and windshield anyway. Believe me I debated for a while on placement. The thing is easy to move if it becomes an issue.

 

@Speedytech7 so this goes in the original location it just doesn't hang down as far?

 

No, it goes on the passenger fender. You'd have to move/delete your cruise control but it is plug n' play with the other washer's plugs. This picture sucks but gets the point across I guess...

 

Oh ok.. right on. I don't know if I have anything there in the way..I'll have to look tomorrow. I have cruise control but I don't remember there being anything large and in charge in that spot. Thanks!

 

Just kidding.. there is definitely something large and black in the way.. damn I'll just have to stick with my halfway working pvc tank.

 

Yeah, that thing is your cruise control actuator. I'm just gonna remove my cruise control because it is pretty much useless.

 

Haha I like mine for those nice flat highways on long road trips. That's about the only time I'm ever able to use it.

 

DIBS! I'll take it off your hands!

 

ABS is in that corner too if you have it.


Oh, and giving up cruise for a windshield washer reservoir?

 

You'd need to do lot of wiring to put it in, its pretty integral. Unless you just have a dead actuator.

 

Nope, I had cruise on my 99 but didn't notice my 03 didn't have it til I was driving her home. SETX is mostly flat so cruise is nice to have on long trips

 

I was gonna remove it anyway whether or not I put a reservoir there. It drives worse than me, constantly keeping the throttle too far open for the speed it's maintaining and then dropping back down. That's just on flat roads, even the tiniest incline like you'd find on a mostly flat highway will cause it to go WOT. It's not worth trying to put up with, and I don't mind using my foot to maintain speed, it's just an old system newer cruise control would be worth keeping I'd imagine. Who knows I may leave it in, this is just a plan for the future, not set in stone.

EDIT: I'll likely leave it in until I regear just to see if it helps get rid of its bipolar behavior.

 

Won't work on an 03, you should have drive by wire and only need to add a stalk. I forget but there is a mod somewhere for adding CC to 03 and 04 models.

 

If you use this one it will fit

I have an older and bigger cruise control actuator but that still may fit, which model is that?

 

Same..

 

I think alot of that price is because there are cnc aluminum, not cast. But really for the price you can get there light bar that makes more lumens
