Default Need some help again.

OK got a new ? I have an AOD with the O/D electrically activated. I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to turn it on and off via the on/off switch on my streering wheel that was used for the cruise control. the cruise control is long gone.

The tranny in my car now uses a switch its a P.A./CRT. thanks for the heads up.

doesnt that switch also turn off below 30 mph.... neat.

On my coupe I used the headlight switch assembly. used the fog light portion out of a GT and the harness is there surprisingly when you swap plugs. Even the wires are there sitting where the Fog light are. I have a coupe. I even swaped the face of the GT fog light sticker and used my blank face from the lx for a stealth look. (armed my nitrous with it)

if you could findout what wires are coming off the c/c switch you could take then to the o/d wires. you need to findout what wire is the signal, power and ground (if there is one). OR just put a regular switch somewhere in the car that would turn o/d on/off.
I used a fog light switch in my 94 to power my fan. but the c/c button sounds like a good idea aswell. good luck. let us know how it turns out.
