Default 86 Vette cruise control ?

Have a 86 corvette with 4+3. (New to me)

Trying to fix all little things that don't work properly.

Cruise control not working and it has to do with the a wire (wire is from the cruise control/signal lever )that is hanging loose under driver's hush panel.

Tried to find a pic on Google but no clear shot how the wire hooks up to the cruise switch on brake pedal (as that switch has 2 prongs with air line hooked up) there must be an clip or something that I'm missing.

Any info/ color pics would be great. Thanks

You should have coming from the column switch green red and yellow wires to a 4 position connector. The corresponding connector has 3 dark blue and one dark green wires (4 total). One of the dark blue wires splits in 2 (at the connector IIRC) to the brake disconnect switch (at the connector IIRC). The other 3 go to the IP.

I'd get a FSM to troubleshoot this as the cruise runs through the IP via the speed sensor input.

Can see no wires to switch (top middle of pic)<br/><br/>Waiting on getting an fsm through the mail but thought I could see if this could be an easy fix.

It's a little different than my car but look around the steering column. It is a rather short wire that jumps into... I think one of them goes into the brake circuit. Should be 4 thin wires red, yellow, blue and green or something like that. They are arranged in a flat manner and are like 28 gauge. I had damn near the whole cruise control system ripped out of my car to figure out why mine didn't work. If it's not around the column look left and towards the drivers seat on that part where the drop out panel ends. I believe it is a clear connector
