Yesterday I found a fwd Terc wagon in a local j-yard that had the factory cruise control. I now know the "mysterious black box" in my car is not factory, rather a PO's attempt to install aftermarket cruise.
So is my car prewired for cruise? Can I just slap in the factory cruise components and it works? I know alot of cars are prewired for all options so the manufacturer needs to make only one wiring harness. I just wanted to be reasonably sure it will work before I spend the time and money on getting the cruise. BTW, the donor car has an auto gearbox but I wouldn't think this matters.
Thanks in advance.

Cruise control Q
It's a scientific fact that in a twin engine aircraft, when one engine fails there is always enough power in the remaining engine to make it all the way to the crash site.

Re: Cruise control Q
The FSM is mum on this subject - I could find nothing in the '85 on the site nor in my '86.

I guess you'll have to wait for an owner who has one of these - I have a feeling it's complicated...

T4WD augury?

Re: Cruise control Q
It looks like my car is not prewired for cruise, which is kind of strange since mine is an SR5. I won't get the Toyota cruise, but I do have an aftermarket one laying around that I will install. I bought it 10 years ago intending to put it in my Fiat, then was going to put it in my Mazda, then truck, etc.
