So I need some help!!!!!

My van did not come with cruise control. I read up on a few different build threads about adding the wiper switch with the cruise control on the switch. Yes , my vehicle is drive by wire, so I can't get to the bottom of this why it will not work. I'm thinking it could be a fuse possible......I know you do not need the module. I just can't wrap my head around this..... Anyone have advice ?

*** This 4 pin plug is the cruise ***

Notice the difference between the two. The cruise switch has the wire with connector coming off it.

Cool to see someone else on here sticking other vehicles in the back of their van. Mine is a moto hauler and part time camper and I'm researching making it more off-road capable for getting deeper into the desert.

Sorry I've been away for a while. Just spent some time down in Florida, but now I am back in New Jersey. It doesn't look like I'm going to get much done on the van this year due to budget issues.

However I will post up some stuff soon of what everybody should be spraying in their rocker panels. Hopefully I can be of help.

*heres a few pics of me from the last weekend on a borrowed ski*

Picked up something small , cheap , and critical for any van user I believe. For anybody who has to deal with snow and heavy road salt I would recommend this.

Pop off the caps in the bottom of the rocker panels on each side. This product will coat them if anybody is interested and wants to prevent rusting.

Do you have experience with that product? I'm interested in rust proofing. Was thinking of using Fluid Film.

I have also been researching rust proofing. My van is an 09 and has some minor rust. I want to make sure whatever I use won't just trap rust behind it and make it worse

I don't , but a few friends used t before on their jeeps.

I have a guy who has a 12 Savana and he uses the fluid film.. Nothing wrong with that product.

What system/brand remote start did you use?
Would you recommend it?

Glad to your van coming along so well, you got some mad skills on the ski. It looks like you are serious about some tunes too, tailgate tunes?

I was surprised how hard it is to get the sound all the way up front, with good insulation and some boom mat the big van sucks up alot of volume. If you plan to rock the whole van give it some big watts in the back. Those are huge tweeters! I have heard some high power wetsounds horn tweeters and think those menace horns might be worth a try too.......

Thanks Man, I am actually getting ready to drive this to Florida to a Jetski event. It's incredible how loud the 2 speakers and 2 tweeters are without any bass. I'm not a huge Audio fan, but if I want it , I'd like it to be there. In the summer I drive this on the Beach and play the radio while I Jetski etc. I will update more pics tomorrow (my vans a mess right now) so people can see where the tweeters were placed.

One thing I been noticing is this...... heavy cold airs drafts when I take turns right over my driver side left shoulder and near the dog box. It's weird because it's only when I'm turning I can notice it.
