Re: cruise control switches

' Jim, Thanks for the quick response. Based on your response it would seem the only real change to mine is I don't have pilot light on the tip.  Maybe I will swap out my current SPST for one with a light.  My cruise does work as your described but must admit I haven't tried to see if my setting is s...

Re: cruise control switches

' I am interested in your conversion.  My current cruise setup is 2 toggle switches.  One to turn on and one to set the cruise.  it might be the factory setup but it doesn't appear to be in my opinion.   My RV is older than yours and different model so I'm not sure if the consoles are comparable.

Re: FIXED 1997 Sahara Safari Not Starting

'Before I sheepishly admit to my mistake I want to express my gratitude and concur with others who have said what a GREAT group this is. What James describes below was exactly my issue.
