Note 1: They DO NOT make the Cruise Kit for the 2003 anymore!
Note 2: View the pictures larger by clicking on them - will take you off site!

Parts List:
1 - Servo, Get this from a Scrap Yard - $50CDN here in Ontario
1 - Cruise Switch Wiring Harness - Part#: 56010170AC - $26.70CDN

There is two different sets of switches, for the base and sport models you will need the left and right switches: 56010089AC $21.85CDN and 56010088AC $23.65CDN, not sure right now which was which.

Some Vacuum line. Got mine out of an old Caravan - same line for the cuise control. It's two rubber peices, with a very small tube.

Steps 1 (The Steering wheel):
1 - Disconnect the battery! You will be playing with the searing so you want to ensure the air bag does not deploy! Press on the break, horn whatever makes you confertable to disperse any extra power.

2 - On the back of the steering wheel you will find two bolts - 8mm Socket will take these out.

3 - Carefully remove the Jeep Horn/Airbag unit, removing the airbag and horn wires from the back.

4 - Remove the old wiring harness from between the clock spring and where the horn was.

5 - Replace the throttle cable

6 - Behind the overflow tank is a set of vacuum lines, one of the lines will have a cap on it. Remove the cap and connect the vacuum line here.

Is the connector for the servo a 4 pin connector?

A new servo at the dealer is 69.25$ in Ottawa, ON. Not bad....

I will be adding Cruise in the next week!!!!!!!!!

All of this is old news. I got the switches, and cables and servo from a junk yard...but the throttle line on the back of the servo got cut, and theres no wiring harness in the mounting location for the servo. Any ideas?

I'm about to install the Mopar cruise kit on my 03' Liberty Sport and was wondering if there is any way to get a new link to these pictures?
