HeatRaveR Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 So I already know that the speedometer is cable-driven. However, I'm wondering, does the cruise control unit ('82 Turbo) receive some sort of electrical speed/mph signal from either the speedometer or the ECU in order to tell how fast the car is going? And if so, could that signal be used to provide a reading for any modern day gauge/gadget that requires a VSS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naviathan Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 There's a slot wheel and optical sensor in the speedometer for the cruise control. It's a basic pulse sensor so I would assume it could be used for another gadget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbesheer Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Under the passenger seat is a cruise control computer I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naviathan Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 You are correct, but it receives its signal from the speedometer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
