anyone know what these switches/units r for?
The trucks an '87. They're mounted to the side of the brake pedal bracket under the column. Its has cruise control which I believe the black box has something to do with since part of that harness plugs into it, but I could b wrong? But what about the switch next to it? What that for?
  Also, while I'm at it, this lil box was under the dash too and has a few other wires that plug into the other end. It looks like it has 2 tiny lights inside that black piece at the end. Any ideas?  Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: anyone know what these switches/units r for?
that green thing with the wire .. i have one of them and that is bolted with a small quarter inch bolt into the back of my speedometer at the wire end... that is definately cruise control id be surprised if the silver thing is not a relay of some kind and the other is prolly cruise too

I can confirm that the black box is the cruise control module. I don't know about the others.

Re: anyone know what these switches/units r for?
Just pulled the power window and locks harness out of a 84 suburban this weekend to use with my suburban doors, that eneded up not working with my 88-91 doors. So i know the relay is either windows or lock relay. I'm about 99 percent sure the green box is the vss signal.

Re: anyone know what these switches/units r for?
The Green Box is the Speed Buffer while is what the cruise control system on the newer trucks use to sense the vehicle speed (VSS).

Re: anyone know what these switches/units r for?
In order left to right - cruise control module, power lock relay and vehicle speed sensor for cruise control.

Re: anyone know what these switches/units r for?
Ok thanks. So here's my next question. I bought a new chrome column that will not have cruise control. Can I ditch the black and green boxes or r they still needed even without cruise?

Re: anyone know what these switches/units r for?
Is it fuelinjected? I believe that the ecm needs it work properly.

Re: anyone know what these switches/units r for?
Green box is the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) for the emission/fuel injection system. The black box is the cruise control module. The large relay is for the power locks.

Re: anyone know what these switches/units r for?
Since I have shaved door handles I can ditch that lock relay right? Or is relay for locks AND windows? Could i get rid of the black cruisecontrol module too since no longer will have cruise control? What about the green vss module? Still need it?
